A copy of the very first 3D Mario title, Super Mario 64, has sold at auction for a whopping $1.56 million, becoming the most expensive video game ever sold. The previous record was set just last week on July 9 with the sale of a copy of The Legend of Zelda for $870,000.
The copy of Super Mario 64 was sold as part of Heritage Auctions' video games signature auction, which ran from July 9 to July 11. The auction house also sold the previously mentioned copy of The Legend of Zelda. Speaking to the AP, a video game specialist at Heritage, Valarie McLeckie, said that it was shocking for a game to sell for over $1 million after the massive sale for The Legend of Zelda.
