These donated Nintendo bundles now help fund moves for families in need.
There’s something magical about hearing the startup chime of a Super Nintendo or sliding in an N64 cartridge until it clicks.
For a lot of us, these systems weren’t just video games—
they were sleepovers, sibling rivalries, paper routes saved for new games, and Saturday mornings that felt like they lasted forever.
Recently, Deliver Purpose received something truly special:
two full retro Nintendo bundles, donated with love and packed with memories.
And the best part?
They’re not just going to collectors—they’re going to help families in our community who need a fresh start.
🕹 The Super Nintendo Bundle
This SNES set includes:
Console + OEM controllers
Super Mario RPG (case + manual!)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Star Fox
Vegas Stakes
Extra classics in great condition
Everything was cleaned, tested, and photographed by our volunteers—ready for its next home.
🎉 The Nintendo 64 Bundle
Loaded with heavy hitters:
Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Bros.
Paper Mario (with official guide!)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Star Wars Racer
Controllers including memory and rumble packs
PLUS bonus titles and manuals
Collectors know how rare a clean N64 bundle is. This one checks every box.
💛 Why We Share These Stories
Because this isn’t just resale.
It’s purpose in motion.
Every donated item that gets listed helps fund moves for families escaping crisis, starting over, or rebuilding their lives with dignity.
And this specific collection has its own personal story.
Years ago, my original childhood system was sold at a garage sale.
I spent years hunting down the same games and rebuilding that collection piece by piece.
Today, instead of keeping it on a shelf, I’m choosing to pass it forward—to turn nostalgia into something bigger.
These memories are becoming momentum for someone else’s new beginning.
