The rest were supposedly returned to Nintendo where they were reused for parts. Out of the 33 cartridges, there is said to be only two remaining today. The second-place winner at each event got a Star Fox Jacket, which had been left over from the Star Fox Competition the year before. The winners of each event won a trip to San Diego, CA to play in the World Championships. These were used in stores across the country in 1994 for around 130 different events. Nintendo produced around 33 cartridges for the PowerFest ’94. The Powerfest Competition tested how many points could be racked up in a certain amount of time in level 1–1 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, the first track of the Mushroom Cup in Super Mario Kart, and the home run derby in Ken Griffey Jr.

Instead the 1994 Powerfest used beefy, improvised cartridges containing several EPROMs (one for each game plus the front-end in addition to a DSP chip to be used in Super Mario Kart) and 8 dip switches to customize the amount of time players got to spend playing the games. Nintendo also did not follow the same model of giving out and using collectible game cartridges this time around. The SNES was still indeed popular, but Sega had kicked in as the “cool kid” by 1994. In the US, the NES dominated the 8-bit era and was synonymous with video games. In 1994, Nintendo tried to replicate the experience during their Super Nintendo era, but for various reasons, it didn’t quite build up quite the same enthusiasm. Nintendo experienced a wave of hype from their 1990 World Championship competition (the buzz from the 1989 film, The Wizard, may have helped), and the resulting game cartridges that were given out to finalists (gold) and used in the competition (grey) have become holy grail fixtures in video game collecting.

If you’d like to see the full 2018 guide for comparison, I have made it available to my Patreon members. I compared those averages between our 2018 guide and this 2022 guide to calculate the value growth percentage. In the chart below I compared the average pricing between the different the average loose price levels for a game and their highest mint copy sale during the time frame. With four full years since our last guide revision, it was easy to notice a lot of ranking shifting with the North American retail releases. The fragility and rarity of the cardboard boxes decade after being opened also factors highly into premiums

Loose cartridges are also increasing significantly, but it’s been surprising on how comparatively fewer complete games are entering the resale market. Values Current as of February 2022 Recent Growth of North American Retail Gamesįollowing the trend of the NES and some other mainstream retro consoles with high historical and nostalgic value, we are seeing a strong increase in complete and mint values. | Limited Edition | Standard USA | PAL Releases | Rarest Japanese | RARE & VALUABLE SNES GAMES TABLE OF CONTENTS: The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices.

In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, this Rare and Valuable series will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you’ll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling. While it may not be a surprise, boxed copies are continuing to see even more of a premium. With so many more obscure games rising in value, this list could give you more motivation to dig through your piles for valuables and give you a solid reference while treasure hunting in the wild. At the same time, we are starting to see some of the true rarities and gems surface into collectibles and some less rare classics hold steady instead of getting further out of hand. The 8-bit and 16-bit Nintendo markets have really taken off in the last five years even in comparison to the growing retro gaming landscape as a whole.
