…he said sarcastically. You may recall that a year ago, someone acquired one of the 26 Nintendo World Championships Gold carts and then — to the great wincing pain of every collector watching — dismantled it, then had the VGA laminate it in pieces. He claimed that framing it this way would keep it preserved [...]

Ninja Gaiden, first released in arcades in 1988, and later on NES in 1989 (North America), is known for its innovative use of cutscenes and notorious difficulty. Prototypes of NES games are commonly sold for high prices, and are also highly coveted by those who don’t want to own simply retail versions. Often times, a [...]

Guess what? The NES version of Duck Hunt you’ve known your whole life was actually a remake. The first and original Duck Hunt game was released by Nintendo in 1977 and consisted of a projector device that flashed orange ducks on your wall. It also came with a light gun, which worked the same way [...]

Gamemaster Howard of Nintendo Power fame has another auction up for grabs! The Ultimate Nintendo World Championships 1990 Package Welcome! – my name is Howard Phillips, also known as the (Nintendo) “Gamemaster”.  NOTE: this not “just another NWC cart auction” ; ) BACKGROUND In 1990 Nintendo put on a major national event-based promotion named the [...]

Since the seller of this lot regularly sells games themselves, it’s a safe bet to assume this is one of those “let hope this drives traffic to my store” listings. Still, it is a very nice collection. It’s a complete NSTC set, with lots of PAL and Pirate carts to boot. Plus the display setup [...]

I’m guessing these came from the official Nintendo Game Play Counsellor Binders. This auction is for the 8 Eyes maps as seen in the pictures. These maps came from a former Nintendo call center employee. They were used by Nintendo employees to help players who were stuck in the game. Very few of these maps [...]
