A sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. for the NES just sold for $114,000 USD, which is now the world record for the sale of a single game. Kotaku's Chris Kohler Tweeted out the news for this Super Mario Bros. copy that was sold on Heritage Auctions, which you can see below. This copy of Super Mario Bros., which was released in 1985 as a launch title for the NES, features a carboard hangtab, which "were originally used on the US test market copies of black box games, back before plastic was used to seal each game." These carboard hangtabs were only in production for a few months, a short time for a game that has gone on to sell over 40 million copies since its release. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/30/top-10-console-launch-games-ever"] In 2019, another copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for $100,150 USD, making it the world-record holder until this new sale, which is actually a newer printing than the previous one. We did a deep-dive into why these cartridges are so valuable and brought in Kelsey Lewin, the co-owner of Pink Gorilla Games, and Frank Cifaldi, founder of The Video Game History Foundation, to help tell the story. This sale is one of the many in the video game world that have sold at a high price, including the Nintendo PlayStation prototype that sold for $360,000.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will arrive for PS4 and PC on August 4. Announced at Devolver Direct, we got another look at the neon-hued 60-player minigame battler, and saw how big its selection of un lockable costumes and wild events would be. Pre-order the game on Steam, and you'll also get an exclusive Gordon Freeman Half-Life outfit (complete with the now weirdly fashionable headcrab hat). In our hands-on with Fall Guys last year, we described it as a playable game show disguised as a battle royale. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.

Olija, a 2D action-adventure centred around a mystical harpoon, has been announced for a Fall 2020 release on PC and Nintendo Switch. Revealed at today's Devolver Direct conference, the pixel-strewn adventure looks equal parts haunting and horrible, seeing a shipwrecked hero called Faraday attempting to escape the hostile country of Terraphage. You can try a playable demo on Steam right now. Olija's the work of one man, Thomas Olsson, under the guise of Skeleton Crew Studio. It's been in development for some time, and is inspired by the likes of the original Prince of Persia and Another World.

Carrion will be released on July 23 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC. Announced at Devolver Direct, the 'reverse horror' game sees you stalking the corridors of a lab as an eer-growing tentacle creature, slaughtering its human occupants as you go.

Devolver Digital has released Devolverland Expo, a miniature first-person game that includes trailers for games shown off in today's Devolver Direct broadcast. Out now for free on Steam, Devolverland Expo takes you through a ruined convention hall filled with aggressive robots, and offers missions, puzzles and items to find along the way. Ultimately, your goal is to grab Devolver swag from game booths - while watching trailers for upcoming Devolver games along the way. The trailer also looks as though it's covered in Steam codes - it might be worth freeze-framing and grabbing one of those if you can.

Another Devolver Direct, another opportunity to question ourselves about whether it was something we should ever have been allowed to watch. Thankfully, we also got a raft of new gameplay and announcements, all of which you can find below:

Devolverland Expo

Described as a "first-person marketing simulator", this free mini-game places you in abandoned conference center and has you fighting and puzzling your way to find Devolver-themed goodies, including trailers of games shown in the Direct.

Olija

Fall Guys

The 60-player battle royale/game show is coming to PC and PS4 on August 4, and we got a look at its many minigames and costumes - including a pre-order exclusive Half-Life outfit to grab on PC.

If players wish to change their gender in World of Warcraft, they would have to purchase the $15 USD Appearance Change from the Blizzard store. With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Blizzard will be dropping this fee entirely. Executive producer John Hight spoke to Eurogamer and explained the decision and how players will now be able to change their gender at a barber shop for free in Shadowlands. "A long time ago, we had the ability for players to go in - it was actually a paid service - and change their character. Much of that is now in the barber shop in the game," Hight said. "And as we were adding things up in Shadowlands, we realised, 'Gosh the only way you can change your gender in World of Warcraft is to go through this paid service.' And we felt like that's not the right message." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/08/world-of-warcraft-shadowlands-developer-update"] "Unfortunately we can't fix that right now but it is our intent with Shadowlands to take that out of being a paid service thing and [put it] in the barber shop. But that's not something we can easily hotfix - unfortunately we can't do that right now. It is something that we're going to have in Shadowlands itself." Hight gave this answer after talking about the new Shadowlands NPC named Pelagos, who many believe to be the first trans character in the game. Pelagos is part of the Kyrian covenant, which players can join in Shadowlands, and will be a key part of the story. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is set to be released later in 2020 and a Beta is set to begin next week. This new expansion, which is World of Warcraft's eighth, will take place in Warcraft's version of the afterlife. It has five new zones, an "ever-changing dungeon" called the Tower of the Damned, and much more.

EA has announced that EA Sports UFC 4 will be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 14, 2020, and Israel Adesanya and Jorge Masvidal will be the global cover stars. In EA Sports UFC 4, players will be able to go from an unknown amateur to a UFC superstar in the new career mode, experience "the origins of combat sports in two all-new environments," and battle others in new Blitz Battles and Online World Championships. UFC 4 promises more authentic fights with "fluid clinch-to-strike combinations that offer more responsive stand-up gameplay, and overhauled takedown and ground mechanics to deliver more control in those key phases of the fight." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/11/ufc-4-official-reveal-trailer"] The new environments mentioned are the Backyard and Kumite. The Backyard is meant to recreate where some of the most successful fighters made their first impressions, and Kumite will pay homage to the old lore of MMA as its an underground temple with one purpose, to allow fighters to "impose the dominance of their fighting discipline on any challengers." Those who pre-order EA Sports UFC 4 will be able to play as both Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, two of boxing's biggest stars. There is no word as of yet on if EA Sports UFC 4 will be headed to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but it will be available on EA Access. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ea-sports-ufc-4-screenshots&captions=true"] In our review of EA Sports UFC 3, we said "EA went back to the gym with UFC 3 to work on many of the weaknesses that had the previous two games struggling to find their footing. A fantastic new striking system and a much-improved career mode lead the charge, but UFC 3 is still hamstrung by a cumbersome ground game, weird collision issues, and the straight-up terrible Ultimate Team Mode."
