Encapsulated and graded 7.0 with a “First-Party H-Seam” seal rating of A by WATA Games. Offered here is a sealed and graded copy of "Super Mario Bros." developed and published by Nintendo for their Nintendo Entertainment System. Directed by Shigeru Miyamoto with the iconic score created by Koji Kondo, "Super Mario Bros." was an NES launch title that sold over 50 million copies and singlehandedly resurrected the home console market after the 1983 collapse caused by Atari that almost killed the nascent home console industry. The platform game featuring Mario and Luigi and their quest to free Princess Toadstool from the evil clutches of Bowser launched the "Mario" franchise and cemented "Super Mario Bros." in pop culture and is considered one of the greatest video games of all time.
This presented sealed copy features a "Hangtab," a "NES-GP Code," a "NES TM" label, and a round Nintendo "Seal of Quality" indicating that this is an early production copy produced in mid-1987. Sealed copies of "Super Mario Bros." are always in high demand, as the game is the single most important video game ever made as it revolutionized home console gaming and was responsible for resurrecting the entire home console market. This offered copy is a testament to the franchise's success and a stunning specimen from Nintendo's golden age.
