As much as Nintendo is known for its stable of franchises and iconic characters, one of the most preeminent mascots of the Kyoto-based gaming giant is none other than its jovial senior managing director, Shigeru Miyamoto. Aside from laying the foundation for the publisher's current success by creating figures such as Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong, to name a few, Miyamoto is often credited as a primary contributor in the development of Nintendo's hardware, including the chart-topping Wii.

So, how much would one of these systems be worth were it signed by the legendary game designer? In seven days and counting, the world will know, as a listing for a Miyamoto-signed Super Famicom has surfaced on Internet auction site eBay. In addition to the graffiti'd console with appropriate cords, the auction includes a number of Super Famicom staples, including Super Donkey Kong; Super Mario Kart; Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3; Mario & Wario; and Mikey's Tokyo Disneyland Adventure, as well as a Super Game Boy.

Unlike most auctions of this ilk, the swag comes with little backstory, other than the auctioneer linking to a nondescriptive blog post in which he apparently met Miyamoto at an event in 2005.

Should be cool to see how much this goes to.

I cannot live knowing that I sold something that rare to someone. Personally, if I were to just leave that system in the box (like the seller atm), I'd just keep it in the box. I mean... imagine opening that box, and seeing the Super Famicom with Miyamoto's signature on it 50 years from now...

I would definitely part with that dirty thing...Its definitely a rarity, and something you wont find.. But Look at the discoloration. Its not that hard to get it off.. i've done it to my collection.

he should have cleaned the dang thing before getting it signed ! Oxyclean or something ! .. jeez... I wouldn't pay for it. I'de rather get a mint one, and sign it myself. Actually... i might just do that.

Lol try cleaning the discoloration off now.. " Oh crap i dripped some on the signature.. let me wipe it ".. " Crap ! .. oh well.. " ...
Or putting in glass or something .. " Hey nice signed super Fami behind the glass... looks great with the beige yellow tint of dust and cigarette smoke " " Really adds to the signature" ...
