Now Live on InsertBid With a Starting Bid of Just $50

An extraordinary piece of Nintendo history has surfaced-one of the rarest interactive retail display units ever produced during the golden age of the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Nintendo M82 Full-Size Standing Kiosk, a fixture once found only in select retail stores during the mid-to-late 1980s, is now being offered in remarkably preserved condition and accompanied by a signature from one of Nintendo's most influential designers.

A Retail Icon, Never Sold to the Public

The Nintendo M82 was not a consumer product. These kiosks were engineered exclusively for in-store demonstration, allowing shoppers to test NES titles directly on the retail floor. Locked within a secure chassis and controlled by a selector panel, the M82 could house up to 12 pre-loaded game cartridges, instantly switchable at the press of a button.

Produced in extremely limited numbers and intended solely for commercial use, very few M82 units survived beyond their store deployments. Complete, intact, and clean full-size standing models are considered holy-grail items in the world of retro gaming hardware.

Stunning Condition - A True Collector's Dream

This particular unit presents exceptionally well. The kiosk's original construction shows minimal wear, with all factory components, red accent striping, and iconic Nintendo logos preserved in outstanding condition.
From the handful known to exist worldwide, only a very small number remain in this level of completeness and cosmetic integrity.

Signed by Lance Barr - The Vision Behind Nintendo's Most Iconic Era

Adding to its historical weight, this M82 kiosk is personally signed by Lance Barr, the legendary Nintendo engineer responsible for much of the NES-era industrial design. Barr helped define Nintendo's hardware identity for nearly four decades, shaping the aesthetics of the NES, its accessories, and countless innovations across the brand.

His signature transforms this already ultra-rare kiosk into a museum-worthy artifact connected directly to one of Nintendo's most influential creative minds.
