HHW Gaming: A Crispy Sealed Copy of ‘Super Mario 64’ Fetches A Record-Breaking Amount of Coins At Auction
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bloomberg / Getty One lucky collector who really loves video game nostalgia has dropped some serious coins on a pristine copy of Super Mario 64. Engadget reports that a completely sealed copy of Mario’s first 3D adventure Super Mario 64, has sold for a ridiculous $1.56 million over the weekend.

Ed Sheeran’s ‘Bad Habits’ Leads U.K. Chart Race as Soccer Anthems Score Early
After 48 hours, “Three Lions” was the second-most streamed song with 2.17 million plays, and the fourth most downloaded song of the week so far, according to the OCC. Meanwhile, Atomic Kitten’s “Southgate You’re The One (Football’s Coming Home Again),” a reworking of their 2001 chart-leader “Whole Again,” lifts to No. 10 on the chart blast.

With England losing a nailbiter to Italy, expect the frenzy for football songs to cool dramatically in the days ahead.

As the director and star of the pop band comedy film That Thing You Do!, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Tom Hanks has an affinity for music. To celebrate his 65th birthday on Friday, the beloved actor assembled an hour-long DJ set of rock ’n’ roll deep cuts for Boss Radio 66, an independent online radio station.

His set extends far beyond the Elvis and Buddy Holly classics we’ve all come to know and love, making a great opportunity for some deep discoveries. “It’s gonna be a bitchin’ year! 66!
