Rare Video Games & Collectibles on eBay: Super Mario Bros. Cheez Whiz & Nintendo World Championships Gray Cart

March 20th, 2010

Figured it’s time to post some of the retro video game radness that I’m watching on eBay this week. Seems my theme this week is vintage Nintendo merchandise. Happy eBaying!

A Super-Uber-Doober Rare Game

Nintendo World Championships NES (No. 0122) NTSC RARE Everthing about this listing looks ok to me except for the sellers explanation of how he got the games: “I bought a package about 40 nes games (ntsc) with console from ebay.com 6 years ago. Now I have seen that one of this games is very rare. In the package there was Stadium Events NTSC, too.” (Update, the listing seems to have been taken down…must have been something fishy.)

Fantastic Fiber Optic Nintendo Game Boy Store Sign (MODEL: NES M90M)

March 15th, 2010

And the people bowed and prayed to the [fiber optic] god they made…

A friend and fellow retro video game collector received this fantastic fiber optic Nintendo Game Boy sign for Christmas. Lucky guy! His dad (yes, his dad keeps an eye out for things for his collection…lucky guy) saw it come up for sale at an area auction and snatched it up for him. It’s complete in original box including foam inserts and the original customer feedback card. The sign is so incredibly beautiful that I had to record and share it. It’s given me a deep appreciation for well done promo items. For more photos, check out the gallery below the video. Happy retro gaming & collecting!

Just for reference, the product info on the metallic stickers on the top of the sign reads as follows:

** Rare N64 Prototype – Translucent purple/white ** While it may be possible to make a similar N64 by taking apart and 2 N64s and swapping one top for another, I haven’t seen that lighter white/light gray color of a bottom before. The seller explains the following about this unit’s design. “Up for sale is a N64 Prototype console in translucent clear purple/white color as you can see on the photos – This prototype was manufactured back in 1998/1999 for Nintendo of Europe together with eleven other N64 Prototypes before releasing the famous Funtastic Color Series. Nintendo produced several colors to decide which of them will hit the maket. This one did not!”
