An unique copy of Kid Icarus for the Nes sold for a bundle at a recent auction.
A man in Reno named Scott Amos was rummaging through the attic of his childhood home when he found a copy of Kid Icarus that turned out to be worth quite a lot of money at auction.
Released in 1986 for the Nes, Kid Icarus is a fairly beloved Nes game that nevertheless isn't necessarily considered to be one of the rarest Nes games ever made. That honor would go to games like Nintendo World Championship Gold and Stadium Events.
However, the Kid Icarus that Amos found happens to have not only been unopened but still sealed and resting alongside its original receipt. Amos recognized that a sealed Nes game would likely be valuable to some collectors, but it wasn't until he contacted some experts that he quickly realized that he had discovered something truly valuable.

Marvel’s Avengers isn’t simply a retelling of events we’ve seen unfold in the McU over the last decade.
In fact, if you hadn’t heard already, Crystal Dynamics’ most ambitious project to date will have zero connection to the film franchise but what implications does that standalone canonicity have for next year’s superpowered adventure? The first and most obvious, of course, is the drastically different appearances of each main cast member. Captain America’s design, in particular, has come under fire for its perceived inaccuracy but in light of recent comments made by Crystal Dynamics studio head Scott Amos, the departure is to be expected.
Speaking to Games Industry, Amos discusses how Marvel is supportive of its approach to the source material and how its input has helped shape the final product.
“They’re very savvy. They know what’s going on in their world, from movies to shows to games.
