The purchase of the game was made by a group of renowned video game collectors: Jim Halperin, founder and co-chairman of Heritage Auctions, Zac Gieg, owner of Just Press Play Video Games, and Rich Lecce who is the owner of Robert B. Lecce Numismatist Inc.
"Super Mario Bros. is not only the most recognizable game of all time, it saved the video game industry in 1985," said Wata Games President, Denix Kahn. "In terms of rarity, popularity, and relevance to collectors, this game has it all. Mario is the most recognizable fictional or non-fictional character in the world, more so than even Mickey Mouse.
