The result obliterates the previous world record, set just two days ago when Heritage sold The Legend of Zelda - Wata 9.0 A Sealed, NES Nintendo 1987 USAfor $870,000, at the time the most ever paid for a video game at auction. It is the first game ever sold at auction to bring more than $1 million. The world’s leading auctioneer of video games sold a magnificent copy of Super Mario 64 - Wata 9.8 A++ Sealed, N64 Nintendo 1996 USA for $1,560,000 Sunday in the first standalone Video Games Auction. Heritage Auctions is proving that the adage that says “records are meant to be broken” is very true.
