Super Mario 64

A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros., originally bundled with the console for $150, sold for $3 million at Heritage Auctions, breaking the previous $2 million record for the same game. The 1989 second-run copy was uniquely sealed with a glossy sticker instead of shrink wrap, making it the earliest known sealed version.

Nintendo is releasing a remake of Star Fox 64, a space-flight shooter game from 1997, on the Switch 2 console. The author has mixed feelings about the release, wondering why Nintendo chose to remake an old game instead of creating a new one. The original game was a childhood favorite of the author.
