A sealed second-production copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES that was called "the most significant video game ever offered at auction" sold on Friday for $3 million. The game has been sitting untouched in a box with a launch edition NES Control Deck console — in the original packaging with the plastic still intact — for the last 40 years, according to Heritage Auctions. What makes this particular copy so special is that it sports an unbroken glossy sticker seal, which was introduced in 1986 for a brief time before Nintendo switched to shrink-wrapping its games.
