Four ‘90s Nintendo games ‘now worth £3,000' each if you've still got cartridges at home – & top title could fetch £5,250
Published: Invalid Date,
IT turns out that splashing out on those Nintendo games back in the 1990s wasn't a waste of money after all.
Four fan-favourite games could now fetch £3,000 apiece – and potentially much more.

They were all released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), one of the titans of nineties console gaming – decades before the Nintendo Switch 2.
So if you had the machine, check your drawers, cupboards, and the loft right now. You might have a fortune just waiting to be flogged.
GAME #1 – Brawl Brothers (£3,718)
One retro game that collectors will fork out for is Brawl Brothers.
This side-scrolling beat 'em up landed in late 1992, but didn't make it to Europe until 1993.
And if you have a sealed copy of the game, it has an estimated value of £3,380, according to video game collectibles tracker PriceCharting.
Better yet, a sealed copy that's been professionally graded could be worth £3,718.
The price is still high for an opened but "complete-in-box" copy of the game, fetching an estimated £1,300.
Sadly the loose cartridge is only valued at £68 – but the box is said to be worth £276, while the manual is reportedly worth £172.
These estimates are based on previous sales of the game, so you could end up receiving higher or lower offers if you decide to flog yours.
And keep in mind that your old games could go up (or down) in value if you hang on to them.
Everything we know so far about the Nintendo Switch 2
Brawl Brothers was notable for being the only SNES game in Europe and the US to have the Japanese version featured on the same cartridge – accessed by entering a cheat code.
GAME #2 – Final Fight 3 (£3,720)
Also worth a pretty penny is Final Fight 3, which – like Brawl Brothers – is a side-scrolling beat 'em up from Capcom.
It came out in December 1995 on the SNES in Japan, before arriving for European gamers in March 1996.
A sealed copy is said to be worth £3,382, but that rises to £3,720 if you get it professionally graded.

The complete (but opened) box is worth £1,301, while an empty box would reportedly fetch £520.
A loose cartridge has an estimated value of £178, while the manual is worth about £89.
The game received average reviews, and its side-scrolling design was scrapped for a 3D format with the sequel: Final Fight Revenge.
GAME #3 – Captain Commando (£4,510)
Third on our list is Captain Commando, a 1991 beat 'em up game, again developed by Capcom.

It's set in the year 2026, where Earth is plagued by Super Criminals – and it's your job as Captain Commando to stop them.
The game was originally created for arcades, but landed on SNES in 1995.
And if you have a sealed copy if the game, it's worth an estimated £4,100 – or £4,510 for a professionally graded version.
Even an opened but complete-in-box copy is worth a whopping £1,577.

The box alone is valued at £630, while the manual is listed at £394.
And a loose cartridge could fetch about £168.
The title was later released for PlayStation in 1998 – and also featured in the 2018 Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle compilation game.
GAME #4 – Pocky & Rocky 2 (£5,275)
Out-pricing all of these titles is SNES shoot 'em up Pocky & Rocky 2.
8
It arrived in Japan and the USA in 1994, before landing in Europe in April 1995.
The game landed to very positive reviews, and featured a two-player co-op mode.
If you still have an unopened Pocky & Rocky 2, it's worth an estimated £4,796.
But that'll climb to £5,275 for a professionally graded unit.
Sadly the complete-in-box game is only worth £301, while a loose cartridge is valued at £107.
The box could fetch about £71, and the manual is listed for £74.
Of course, depending on how many copies are available, the eagerness of collectors, and the quality of your game, you could end up getting higher or lower offers from SNES super-fans.
The good news is, if you've got any old Nintendo consoles sitting at home, they might also be worth thousands.

MAFS UK star left devastated after being 'dumped via text' following whirlwind romance
A MAFS UK star has been left devastated after being 'dumped via text' following a whirlwind romance. Personal trainer and mother-of-two Marilyse Corrigan was unlucky in love on the series in 2021 after marrying fellow fitness fanatic Franky Spencer. However she revealed in September last year that she was in a relationship with a new man. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for Marilyse with a source telling The Sun: 'Marilyse is really upset and can't believe she's ended up single again. 'She was dumped over text after falling head over heels. It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed.' Marilyse wed military man Franky on the series but they split just before the final episode aired. She later moved on with Matt Murray who also appeared on the Channel 4 show in 2022, but they split in March 2023. Marilyse later fuelled rumours that she had secretly rekindled her romance with Frankie in December 2023 when she shared a cosy photo with her former 'husband.' Fans flooded the comments section with their well wishes, with one adding: 'Awww hope it's not out of place but I always think you two should give it another go… you seem so good together, it's all in the vibes xx' The former couple split after their relationship 'went a bit dry' after 'spending too much time together'. During the show Marilyse had decided to stay with her Dubai -based husband, who had been dubbed 'controlling' by fans, after the programme ended in the couple's vow renewal. But speaking to The Sun after the show, the contestant revealed her relationship with Franky ended when it turned into more of a friendship. 'It's really sad as we got on really well and Franky has a heart of gold,' said Marilyse, explaining that it was a mutual decision to end their relationship. Adding that the experience was 'full-on', she admitted: 'I saw a lot of Franky and that probably spoiled it because we spent too much time together. She continued: 'Eventually things just went a bit dry and we ended up being more like friends than people in a relationship.' Following the show, Franky moved to Beverly, while he looked for a job in Leeds, amid planning his return to the UK from Dubai. Marilyse later sparked romance rumours with Matt in October 2022 when they jetted off to Turkey together. However, they both announced on social media in March they have decided to break up due to being 'too different' to one another. Marilyse told her Instagram followers: 'I've received multiple messages asking if Matt and I are still together. 'Out of respect to you guys and the support you've given us, of course it's only fair to be clear. So the answer to this is no we are no longer together anymore but I do wish Matt all the best for his future.'

Robbie Williams, 51, reprises iconic dungarees from his Take That heyday at new album Q&A as he admits he's battling with his hair which is 'thinning everyday'
Robbie Williams gave fans a cheeky throwback to his Take That days as he attended a Q&A for his new album Britpop on Tuesday. The hitmaker, 51, arrived a pair of denim dungarees akin to the ones he wore while performing in the beloved boyband back in the 1990s. Robbie, who is set to release his new album on October 10th, also reflected on how his appearance has changed over the years, during an interview with Joe Lycett at London's Groucho Club. The Angels legend confessed his hair is now 'thinning everyday' and he's struggling to keep his locks looking full for his fans. Asked how he's maintained his ageless appearance, Robbie said: 'Because I've got like ADHD and I don't look, and my self care is appalling and then I have to remember to apply moisturiser, which I do have. 'Then it's just a fools error because then I don't do it again for another two months. Robbie Williams gave fans a cheeky throwback to his Take That days as he attended a Q&A for his new album Britpop on Tuesday The hitmaker arrived a pair of denim dungarees (left) akin to the ones he wore while performing in the beloved boyband back in the 1990s (pictured right in 1992) 'The hair is powder and scaffolding because it's thinning and it's going and I think about it everyday. 'The skin at the moment is due to my makeup artist, who I think has done a really good job.' Robbie famously wore his denim overalls, and little else, while taking to the stage with Take That to perform at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party back in 1992. Reflecting on the look in an interview with British Vogue, he previously said: 'Dungarees were part of my look back in the day, cost effective, slightly unusual because not many people were wearing them. 'I'd be naked underneath with my top, but it could cover up my belly, so it gave the illusion that I was a buff ting!' Robbie's new album also sees him reunite with his Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, with the pair working on a song together for the first time since he briefly reunited with the band for an album and tour in 2010 and 2011. He said: 'I've collaborated with Gary on a lot of tracks actually. It's great because that particular track is a song made by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow about Morrisey. Describing the song as 'considerate', he added: 'The reason I'm considerate about it is because I'm writing it from the point of view of a stalker, so it's somebody who's stalking, and is completely obsessed and in love with him.' Robbie, who is set to release his new album on October 10th, also reflected on how his appearance has changed over the years, during an interview with Joe Lycett The Angels legend confessed his hair is now 'thinning everyday' and he's struggling to keep his locks looking full for his fans Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. It was reported earlier this month that he and his wife Ayda have splashed out £30 million on a lavish new waterfront mansion in Miami. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.' Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States. He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself. 'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway. 'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'
