NINTENDO PROMOTIONAL MEDIA KIT This is interesting to look at, not only
for the giant beta screenshots of Link's
Awakening, but for the expose to how the press
got their information twenty years ago. I rewrite
press releases as part of my job now, and it
involves opening an E-mail. I guess it used to
mean getting these hulking things in the mailbox
This kit also includes a
screenshot of Mario & Wario, a game which ultimately stayed in
Japan
eBay Price: $499.99

| "FAMICOM WARS" PROMO
VHS Given how
balls-to-the-wall insane most of Nintendo of
America's VHS giveaways were, and how MORE insane
Japan tends to get, I can't imagine what could
possibly be on this tape
Someone get it and upload it!

some cards?"
Pauline: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ARE YOU
CRAZY?"

SUPER NINTENDO EXERCISE BIKE
PERIPHERAL And you
thought the wackiest game peripherals came from
the 2000's, didn't you?
The bike worked with two games,
both on one cartridge: "Speed Racer"
and "Mountain Bike Rally"
Local pick-up only, so if you
buy it, you better live in Austin, Texas
eBay Price: $2,490.00

DEBUG MODEL PS3 Past debug systems we've seen for other
systems have been different colors, or marked in
some other way besides a plain "TEST"
on the side. Sony gets a D for effort
eBay Price: $350.99
|
| DEBUG MODEL SNES Whoa! THIS one's sure different
"Emulator SE" never
caught on as well as "Test Unit" or
"Debug Unit." This particular model was
owned by Micro Prose Software, possibly to make
Civilization for the SNES
It's rare to see this machine
on eBay because normally it is flagged down due
to the word "emulator"

| NINTENDO M82 DISPLAY UNIT A couple years back we saw the M8 display unit, which Nintendo used in stores to demo
12 games at once
The M8 was the first model and
all its games were wired in. The M82 is the
improved version that will take any game
cartridge
And this particular one has
been improved further....it's been modded to have
no time limit and support an RGB connection.
Though this probably brings down its value, it's
a unit you can actually use

SOMEONE'S ENTIRE COLLECTION It's not uncommon to find someone's
entire collection of video games sold in bulk on
eBay, but this guy? This has to be the poster
child for the Anal Collector With A Nasally Voice
And A Clip-On Tie. See all these consoles and
games? They're unopened. He never opened a single
one. Instead he had the VGA laminate them and
stuck them up as museum pieces. HE NEVER PLAYED
WITH A SINGLE ONE OF THESE

GAMECUBE COMPONENT CABLES If you want your Gamecube games to look

46-INCH COMPUSA MARIO STATUE I can't possibly describe this as well
as the seller did.
"Hello Internet. So you think you've got
the biggest, baddest, awesome..est...Nintendo
collection ever? WRONG.
"Please, allow me to introduce you to this
big beautiful magnificent bastard: a 46 inch tall
statue of the very icon of Nintendo itself, from
the 1990s, the era of the Nintendo 64. That's
right, not only is he a visual representation of
your favorite retro video game company, he's
authentically the same age as the romanticized,
memorable, nostalgic childhood wet dream that
made you the nerd you are today. Oh whats that?
You want to own this extremely rare collectible
that seldom gets publicity every few years? Please...dare
you think that you have the cajones, much
less the wallet to own the very living face of
Nintendo, no, VIDEO GAMES itself, to guard
your front door, to watch you sleep with your
girlfriend in the dead of night, to go to a chili
eating contest as your wingman, to ride shotgun
in your monster truck as you make the ladies
swoon, or to adorn your now unbeatable retro
video game collection arcade, there is no
substitute, no equal, no other. This is THE
ARTIFACT that will bring full glory to your life.
This is what you've been waiting for.
"An official licensed Nintendo item.
Nintendo itself created these and deemed them
worthy of watching over their Nintendo 64 in full
store display, He watched over you as a kid as
you shamelessly stood there and played Mario 64
until your neck gave out from staring up at the
screen, and then some. This is the guy that
looked back at you while your mom had to drag you
away from the store.
Now its your turn to put him back where he
belongs, above your N64 and other video game
collections, so you can both be reunited again, Forever.
Because if you don't get him now, you will never
see him again due to a testament of your
faith."

SEALED COPY OF DUCKTALES 2 Yes, there was a sequel to DuckTales
released within the life of the NES. You missed
it because the game didn't come out until 1993
Games from the end of a
console's lifespan tend to become valuable,
sealed copies even more so, and unplayed sequels
to beloved titles very much so
eBay Price: $1,500.00
|
| "INDIANA JONES GREATEST
ADVENTURES" FOR GENESIS This game was a SNES exclusive.
Apparently publisher JVC developed a Genesis
version, but it never left the prototype stage.
This version of the game has never been dumped in
ROM form online, so this is all anyone's seen of
it so far
It was completed and reviewed
by Gamepro (who gave it a 3.5 out of 5) but like
many other Genesis titles that would have come
out in 1995, it got shelved
I remember this being a very
Mode 7 heavy game. Wonder how they dealt with
that
eBay Price: £770.00

MEGA MAN II SOUNDTRACK ON
VINYL One thing, Capcom
never released anything like this. It's a fan
print
Which leads to the second
thing: the price the seller set is way overinflated.
Unless everyone wants a vinyl of Mega Man II and
this is the only one that can ever be made
eBay Price: $7000.00

| LIMITED EDITION EUROPEAN
BAYONETTA 2 Wow, that
looks nice. Way better than ours
