A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. has sold for $3 million at auction, making it the most expensive video game ever sold. The game is from an early 1985 release and still has its original seal, which is extremely rare. Although millions of copies of Super Mario Bros. were made, very few unopened copies from the first production runs still exist. Experts say only a small number of sealed copies from this version are known. The game was also in excellent condition, which helped increase its value.

Takashi Tezuka, a longtime Nintendo executive and close collaborator with Shigeru Miyamoto, is retiring as Executive Officer effective June 26, 2026. He played a major role in creating early hits like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda for the NES, helping establish Nintendo’s core game design principles over his decades at the company. Well deserved

My book "Porting Video Games to Fast Simulators with Agents" is out! Over the past year, I've been trying all sorts of tricks to reimplement my favorite games in rust, C, and CUDA so I could have more control and even get them so fast that I could train neural nets in them. I've done this for Minecraft 1.11.2 (netherite -- my pinned), New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario Kart Wii, and Terraria. This guide is aimed at not just documenting the process, but showing a super sped up version of the /goals I ran and the decisions I made at each step, letting you stumble into the same questions to learn my style properly. I aim to iterate on this like I do with all my projects, so I'm super pumped for any feedback you have. I included a ton of visuals and poured my heart into making this a fun and smooth read. Hope you enjoy!
