On September 27, 2014 Nintendo released their latest game for their Wii U console, Hyrule Warriors. The mash-up of The Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors franchises has been well received by fans and reviewers alike, but that’s not the story here. As part of the launch celebration for the game, Nintendo produced an extremely limited edition of it.

Just 300 copies of the Hyrule Warriors limited edition were produced and sold at the Nintendo World store in New York City. This edition came packaged in a special box and also came with a replica of the main character’s scarf that he wears in the game. Copies of the limited edition have since been seen on eBay, with bidding soaring to well over $500. The regular edition of the game retails for about $60.

Now, 300 copies might seem like an unbelievably small number for even a “limited edition” of a video game. But that’s not the smallest number that Nintendo’s produced of one of its games. Just 26 copies of the “Gold” edition of Nintendo World Championships were ever produced, making it one of the rarest video games ever made (second only to the North American version of Stadium Events).

The actual Nintendo World Championship event took place in 1990. It took place across 29 cities and was based on the competitors score in Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer and Tetris, within a time limit of six minutes and 21 seconds. Grey cartridges were used during the event itself, and only 116 of those ever existed, and some finalists during the competition were awarded the gray copies of the game as a prize.

But the Gold cartridges were distributed differently. Nintendo fans could win a copy through a contest in Nintendo Power magazine and that’s it. Only 26 were ever made, and only a fraction of that run is still accounted for today.

In February of 2014, a Gold copy of Nintendo World Championships surfaced on eBay in “acceptable” condition; the cartridge functioned perfectly but the label on the game had been torn off. This copy sold for $100,088 nearly quintupling the previous sales record for the game ($21,400 in 2007).
