Super Mario Party Cartridge
Apparently, an eBay seller managed to find an early copy of Super Mario Party just laying around in an airport, and it was promptly put up for auction, with the listing ending at a whopping $7,100. To show its authenticity, the seller uploaded a YouTube video of the game being played, complete with Joy-Con control.



Oh man, this game is having a blast with the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers, leaning hard into their motion controls and that tingly HD rumble to make minigames feel like you’re right in the action. Take the “Sizzling Stakes” minigame—you’re literally flicking the Joy-Con like it’s a sizzling frying pan to cook virtual steaks. It’s the kind of clever, grin-inducing trick that shows off just how wild and fun the Switch’s hardware can be.

Super Mario Party is the first game in the Mario Party series to introduce online multiplayer with the “Online Mariothon” mode, where players can compete in five randomly selected minigames from a pool of ten to achieve the highest score.

Yes, despite the game not being out until October 5th, one lucky person claimed to have found a working cartridge for the game sitting near an airport. On their eBay listing – which has now ended and is unavailable to view properly – the person describes the cartridge as being “in decent shape”, noting that it is “slightly damaged” but works just fine,” according to Nintendo Life.
