Heritage Auctions has seemingly set another record for itself with its auction of a sealed copy of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 today, which ultimately went for the whopping amount of $1,560,000. The video game, which was graded as a 9.8 A++ on the Wata grading scale, is just the latest video game auction to hit huge numbers over the last year. For reference, a sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES at Heritage Auctions set the record for the sale of an individual game at the time at $114,000 just one year ago, with several auctions trumping that figure since – culminating in the sale of a copy of The Legend of Zelda on Friday that pushed the record to $870,000. And, well, now here we are.
