The hefty sum smashed the previous record of $870,000 for a rare version of The Legend of Zelda, which was set only two days prior at the same auction. "This is effectively the highest feasible grade one could hope to receive from Wata," said Valarie McLeckie, Heritage Auctions Video Games Specialist. It’s the only known copy in such condition in existence. It is sealed and in near-perfect condition, scoring 9.8 A++ on the Wata Scale. The copy sold at auction was the first game ever to sell for more than $1 million. It went on to become the console’s best selling game ever, with nearly 12 million sales to date. Released in 1996 for the Nintendo 64, the game was Mario’s first 3D adventure. An unopened copy of Super Mario 64 has sold for $1.56 million, breaking the record for the most expensive videogame sold at an online auction.
