Nintendo fans unite! Check out your collection because you could be sitting on a rare N64 game cartridge that could be worth a lot of money, however it must have a particular mark
A rare Nintendo 64 game cartridge could be worth over £200 ($300) but only if it has a very specific mark. Do you have one?
Launched in 1996, the Nintendo 64 quickly became the must-have present on every child and gaming-enthusiasts wish list. Although it was discontinued in 2002, games and consoles are still in demand and are often sold on sites such as eBay and Vinted.
And just like old rarer Pokémon cards, some are worth a small fortune. Taking to TikTok to share his findings, Joey at DKOldies explained that a specific WWF game could make you a tidy profit – if you’re willing to part with it that is.
Speaking to the brand’s 2.5 million followers, he said: “Rare game alert! Check your collections guys. Here we’ve got an N64 game WWF No Mercy. There were actually two variations of this game. The first one, like you can see here, you can identify because it just says USA down here at the bottom, it had a bug.
“When you were trying to save the game it wouldn’t save consistently, so they issued a second release of the game and that bug was fixed. And down here on the bottom, after the USA, it says dash one. So if you’ve got that dash one copy in your collection, that game is worth a lot of money.”
A quick search on Google proves just how rare this specific cartridge is, with zero results showing one for sale. According to PriceCharting.com, the most recent copy sold in September for £150 ($200), however the previous deal went for £282 ($375) just a few days previously.
Games fans were astounded by the knowledge that and flooded the chat with comments. One person replied: “This was the greatest wrestling game of all time.” Another user added: “I had no idea of this. now i wish i looked at every copy i came across more closely.” While someone else lamented: “I threw away 3 copies not to long ago… I didn’t know this information…”
