Handheld games can also be cult games
Some of them, such as Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core, are now back in updated versions. Pokémon Blue, released on the GameBoy in 1998, is not the same. But it could well be the most valuable title in your collection, as it can sell for over $140,000.
A Pokémon GameBoy game worth over $140,000
Yes, you read that right. Auctioneers Heritage Auctions have listed an American copy of Pokémon Blue on GameBoy, which is in perfect condition. What makes this version unique is the text on the back, which identifies the game as a copy of Pokémon Red. A mistake due to the fact that this is one of the first produced versions of Pokémon Blue, the site explains.
Its price is $144,000. Surely few players in the world own this very rare copy, but you never know. If you do, it could fetch you a very nice sum and allow you to buy thousands of times a 'The Witcher ' game currently on discount. If not, you can make an offer of $144,000 to the current owner of the version available on Heritage Auctions.
