Mario is driving a go kart.
Mario is partying.
Mario is playing tennis.
Mario is golfing.
Mario is playing with himself.


Give me that sex.

* imagines a Mario-themed GC with Mario's face on the lid. Swoons.

They should do a Samus themed GC for the bundle in the states.

Now why aren't we getting this stuff from NOA?

"* imagines a Mario-themed GC"

Has there ever been a Mario themed console or handheld? It seems like that would be a given for a limited edition color--more so than something like the Pokemon N64 console.
 
Damn. I was saving my points for the Mario Family figure set, but this would be a great collector's item as well. Damn you Nintendo!

Still not as good wavebird

As much as I love my platinum wavebird, this controller is damn hot. I wonder if club Nintendo will have wavebird version out for this as well?

Now that is slick! Not since the DC days have i seen such a great alternate theme for a pad. Wish Nintendo would release that here.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
This is a clue that "Mario 128" is coming out this year. I expect an announcement soon.

Awesome, we need a Nintendo Club over here in America. I mind as well get some free stuff while I'm buying their games. I need two of those bad boys, one to play with and the other as a collector's item.
 
Did anyone ever get that shirt Nintendo was giving away via the clube? With all the controllers on it? I'd love a scan of that.

They will. After a year, if there is any surplus, and when this controller is played out like hell and 3 more limited special edition GC controllers are since released, it will hit the US.

Thats a question I had for a while now, it seems like NOA don't make any efforts to bring some thing exclusive or unique to the market for the GC gamers or potentials of America.

The MP bundle, needs to have a different image on the box, and a change in color for the console. Maybe add more than one color, also add a image of Samus on the console.

They're should also be a RE bundle with the same modifications.

Also try to get some American exclusives and stop waiting for NOJ to do everything.

A bronze/crimson GCN inside the MP bundle would probably be very effective.

God, why does NoA sit on their asses all day?
 
Awesome. I wish I'd get something half decent for registering games with Nintendo. Maybe they still have something more in store for us. The Zelda Collector's Edition disc was a great start.

I know the mainstream would think it's "teh kiddie", but I love the idea of a Mario-themed GCN and a Luigi-themed GCN with SMS and LM bundled in respectively. I'm talking red and green GCNs complete with the colored controllers as well. I wonder how much it costs Nintendo to make a new casing...

Is there a website that shows all the stuff you can/could get with the Nintendo Club? It'd be neat to see all that.

The yellow C-stick incedently matches the buttons on his overalls. They're just missing brown for his shoes (maybe the plug). But it's awesome the way it is.

That is fucking sweet. Imagine if there were both a Mario and Luigi version controller. How much ass would that rock, eh?
 
i don't understand how people like the wavebird...

maybe it's because i fear anything that uses batteries when it shouldn't have to...

or maybe i'm just cheap.. i dunno...

i can't stand it, and i love force feedback!

with all that said... the mario controller looks nice...

I don't understand how people can really miss rumble. I haven't thought about it since I purchased my Wavebird and going back to a normal GC controller feels awkward.

It took a little bit to get used to, but there's something about being able play from my bed or the other side of my room. On top of that, the Wavebird kills some of the clutter around my game space.

Batteries aren't a problem either. Unless you're on the controller 24 hours a day, you could go a couple months without a problem. An 8 pack of Energizers could probably take me through the whole year.

The Wavebird rules. All controllers should be wireless.

I wish it came in colors other than the regular off-white and the newer platinum. :(
