This Nintendo Game Is Worth $25,000, Would You Like To Buy It?

When Nintendo decided to re-introduce the NES Classic edition, a lot of people have gone through great lengths just to have the console and everything that is associated with it. And when we say great lengths, it means purchasing the console at $88,000 for the sake of nostalgia. The story about these sheer fanaticism does not end there because another fan has decided to buy one Nintendo game for $25,000.

The Nintendo game in question was Stadium Events, one of the rarest Nintendo titles. It was not a popular game yet the scarcity of its copy in the market has made it very valuable. A lot of myths and legends have even surrounded the game adding to its value.

According to stories, Bandai, the developer of the game, and Nintendo destroyed the rest of the copies of this game after it flopped in the market. However, Howard Phillips from Nintendo of America, said that there were actually 10,000 copies of the game but no one knows where they are right now. Somebody might have buried them or it might be sitting in dust in somebody's attic.

Back to Tod, he was as obsessed as a lot of people to have the game in his hands. In fact, he already owned one copy for $1,475. Years later, he found a much better copy of Stadium Events and bought the game for a whopping $11,518.19 on eBay. He did not stop there because an announcement revealed that the a brand new copy of Stadium event, inside its box with the cellophane still intact, will be auctioned online. Tod waited for that even and was one of the people who fought hard to have that game. Finally, he won and bought the game for a whopping $25,000.

If you think that Todd spent a fortune for Stadium Events, that's nothing because someone named Cory (he doesn't want to reveal his last name for fear) from Atlanta paid $35,100 for a copy of that Nintendo game. After that, he sealed it in a plastic case with UV protection.
