The pristine game cartridge set an auction sale record.

As video games age and formats change, physical copies become rarer and more collectable, to say nothing of copies in mint condition. Over the last few years, video game cartridges, especially from Nintendo’s first few consoles, the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Nintendo 64, have fetched high prices at auction. The previous record holder for highest-earning auction for a video game was for a copy of Super Mario Bros. back in April for $660,000. Yesterday, though, that record was broken, and rather decisively at that.

On Sunday, Dallas-based auction company Heritage Auctions auctioned off a mint-condition copy of 1996’s Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64, the very first 3D Mario game. The cartridge was still in its original packaging, and the packaging itself was sealed in a protective case, which according to game quality grading site WataGames, earns it an A++ on the scale of rarity. After a fierce auction, this pristine video game was finally sold for an unprecedented $1,560,000 USD, completely shattering the previous records for most money spent on a video game at auction.

Interestingly, just two days prior to this auction, Heritage had actually broken the previous record already by selling a mint condition, early production run copy of 1986’s The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System for $870,000.

“After the record-breaking sale of the first game in the Zelda series on Friday, the possibility of surpassing $1 million on a single video game seemed like a goal that would need to wait for another auction,” Heritage Auctions video games specialist Valarie McLeckie said in a statement.

“We were shocked to see that it turned out to be in the same one! We are proud to have been a part of this historic event,” she added.
