Nintendo of Canada offers sealed NES, SNES, GameBoy titles for charity auction
Video game collectors have just been given a golden opportunity (and another thorn in their significant others' side). Nintendo of Canada is cleaning out their warehouse and is auctioning their collection of
brand new, sealed retro games, with all proceeds going to
United Way charity. The auctions, totaling 421 games in 24 different auctions, break down as follows:
- 70 NES games over 4 lots
- 169 SNES games over 13 lots
- 182 GameBoy games over 7 lots
As of this writing, the highest bid in any auctions
is US $1,013 for a collection of NES games that includes
Mario's Time Machine,
Dragon Warrior IV,
The Great Waldo Search and – this is the big draw, folks –
George Foreman's KO Boxing. There's some great games in the other lots, too, with
Addams Family and
Lost Vikings activating the most synapses in our nostalgic minds.
Joystiq got in touch with Nintendo of Canada to confirm the auction is legit, so
what are you waiting for? Bidding for all lots ends June 5.
