In late 2023, CGC announced that it would begin offering its expert grading services for international games, starting with select regions and consoles. Soon after, CGC announced that it would begin grading Japanese Nintendo 64 games, which are very popular with collectors. This launch was extremely successful, and CGC is thrilled to now offer authentication, grading and encapsulation services for most international games.

“Nintendo is among the most popular type of video games to collect,” said Kenneth Thrower, Director of Grading at CGC Video Games. “Now that CGC is ready to authenticate, grade and preserve Famicom and the Japanese Nintendo handheld family of games, all regions of these Nintendo games are now eligible for CGC grading, making CGC the most convenient and affordable option for collectors.”

Also, with the addition of Atari and Sega Genesis cartridges, CGC is now ready to grade most of your Sega Genesis games, as well as all of your Sony PlayStation 1 and Sega Dreamcast collections!

While CGC will accept most Famicom and Famicom Disk System games, it cannot grade larger box sizes (such as big boxes), unaccompanied manuals and inserts or pirate reproductions.
