Super Mario Bros Edition. for the sealed NES sells for $114 and beats previous record

Recently a sealed copy of the classic game "Super Mario Bros." was sold at auction for $114. Last year, the same title, also sealed, had won the Heritage Auctions auction house record for the most expensive game ever sold.

The 1985 video game cartridge released for the NES console (popularly known as Nintendinho) was sold at a Heritage Auctions auction last Friday. Previously, according to the website abcnews, the same game had been sold at the beginning of last year for US$100150 within a package of a collection of games from the 80's and 90's. Now, this value has been surpassed by the value of US$114. .

Heritage Auctions Director of Video Games Valarie McLeckie said in a statement that:

"Demand for this game was extremely high and if any batch from the sale could hit a number like that, this would be it. We knew it was going to be a strong live streaming session, but I don't think anyone could have anticipated how many bids there was on "Heritage Live!" and smartphones."

The game of Super Mario Bros. had an "A+" conservation rating and this particular version has "hangtabs". It is a short-term sales package version with a different packaging compared to the original version of the game. According to Heritage Auctions:

• 10 best phones to play Free Fire in 2022

"This unopened copy of this launch title from [Nintendo] has risen to remember times, in part because it was part of one of the game's small productions packaged in boxes with a cardboard clip underneath the plastic, an indication that it was part of one of the first variants produced after Nintendo started using heat shrink to seal games instead of stickers."
