The 1985 classic was bought for US $ 140,000 by the platform for buying and selling shares of collectible assets Rally, and later re-commercialized it in a higher figure.

The Super Mario game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that has led to global success for the Tokyo company, Nintendo Company Ltd., has been sold for $ 1.56 million for having the historic cartridge look that allowed immersion from the NES console in the United States; in addition to having few in a state of “new”.

In this sense, the slight redesign of the Donkey Kong video game and the ambition of users to know the new strategy led them to the opportunity to achieve the total dispatch of more than 61 million devices and 500 million games , which generated acceptance in the West and the resurgence of the video game industry by selling the cartridge along with the console.

Shigeru Miyamoto , the developer of the barrel-throwing gorilla game, along with designer Takashi Tezuka and sound engineer Koji Kondo have used entertainment works, such as Devil World and Excitebike , to use as the basis in creating a larger-than-life character. This is how Mario was renamed “Super Mario”, looking like a plumber with a mustache.

The idea of ​​changing Mario’s size was integrated into this same conception, to change him from a tiny subject to a great character who must face long circuits, constant tests, changes of landscape and the particular music in the underground missions.

Although in the mid-eighties, the United States had a monopolized entertainment industry, the search for practicality and lightness in devices has led some companies to work on game consoles connected to televisions, which provided greater comfort to the players.

That’s when Nintendo saw the opportunity to expand westward and compete with big names by creating an inexpensive cartridge console. This is how the Family Computer was born, known by many as Famicom, of which about 500 thousand units were sold in just a few months in the Japanese country.

Although unsuccessful they decided to change the name of Famicom to NES, make some aesthetic modifications, add accessories such as a gun and a robot to play Duck Hunt.

With this scenario, it has been bought initially for US $ 140,000, about three million Mexican pesos, by the platform for buying and selling shares of collectible assets Rally, to later re-market it in a higher figure.

Users who invested in the page, to purchase this item, received a percentage of the amount. So, for people who are video game lovers and looking to earn income from them, this is an option.

Collectibles have been a source of investment, for patients who know how to identify the potential of an object, since, over the years, the initial value can increase. This happened with a copy of the Super Mario Bros developed by Nintendo.
