Yes, you read that right: 5 with four zeros.
Used in the 1994 Nintendo World Championships II competition, this extra rare Super Nintendo — only 32 were made — is selling on eBay for fifty grand. What makes it so special, you ask? Well, since it was used primarily for a competition it was built to include the first level of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, five laps of the first track of Super Mario Kart, and the homerun derby from Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball.
I love the Super Nintendo more than my own family, but, unless this comes with a live dolphin, even my obsessed collector side has no interest. As the kids today say, “that’s a lot of scratch!”
What do you think? Even if you had the money, would you ever consider buying this? Is there anything videogame related you would pay this much for?
