I wonder if Scott ever regrets this joke now that it seems to be the only joke his fans seem to know, and make it in the comments of every. single. goddamn. video.
@@pixelbomb97You know he's probably actually making an L button video since 10 months or so ago he asked people to submit a video for him to do and whichever topic got the most suggestions he'd do. And if you look at the comments on that community post all of them are basically "it's time for the L button video guys".
It's a shame they majorly nerfed My Nintendo after having it replace Club Nintendo, having that physical aspect to spending your points is so cool and while posters are cool, i wish we could have more
The physical My Nintendo stuff is a little niche, my post recent purchase was a Kirby carry pouch and a Detective Pikachu coffee cup holder. They’re on the right track but could use a little more time to get something cool out
I think it was really cool but i feel like for most normal customers the allure of physical things to open up definitely dies out as they get older. If i had a penny for the amount of people in Club Nintendo's time who didnt keep game cases and used those wallets and stuff, I'd have a good bit more money. At the end of the day, i think it was right for what it was- a small club that was a neat bonus you would get with games that could probably be ignored. Sadly, Nintendo obviously wanted to expand beyond just "hey you can ignore this" so the whole physical rewards system and philosophy and the "wow that's cool" factor had to go in place of something that made *everyone's* life easier if they used it. ...now if only they actually accomplished that goal with My Nintendo, maybe this wouldnt have been such a heart-breaking goodbye. :p
I don’t know if I remember this right but I think someone found an exploit in the system to get tons of stuff and a lot of people found out about I I don’t know though
My club Nintendo experience: I would buy the game and put in the disc. I didn't look at anything else in the box. I barely even looked at the box. I didn't know what club Nintendo was until it shut down. At that point I was like, "Well, crap."
Did you know? In Mexico and other Latin America countries, Club Nintendo was a magazine in the style of Nintendo Power, sometimes even having translated parts from it as an special insert. It lasted from the NES/SNES era until the Switch era, when it got cancelled due to the ease of access to the information on the internet.
Back then i loved to look at the images of new releases, once i cared enough to read them, i got so mad, i know that it featured some legendary personel such as Gus and Pepe (i learned after the fact) but i hated the opinion pieces and "facts" they showed, because they got SO MUCH wrong (specially because i navigated english internet since very young and the information differed drastically), back in 2012 i was very angry at that, and thought o making a video pointing out every mistake, but i didn't. 2 years ago i was making a video about CN, i found a few mistakes and started rambling about that, but once i learned about Gus and Pepe, i decided to not publish the video and deleted it (btw, idk if i'm spelling their names right, its been 2 years since i watched the video about them).
@@Schimnesthai interesting. I do remember the magazines having very biased opinions (for obvious reasons), but do you recall any specific facts they got wrong? I'm curious to learn more, lol I did also read english gaming media back then, but maybe I just got so excited about games overall I missed over the wrong info lol
I never got a damn thing from that program...i just remember looking at images of out of stock stuff id never have the points for even if it was available. Whole program just used to give me major Fomo! Hated it.
Holy crap, what a nostalgia trip! My most relished item from Club Nintendo was the reversible Mario felt-like Material DS Pouch. I do miss that specific item all thanks to myself misplacing it at a friend’s birthday party.
I remember keeping track all of the codes I got from the few Wii games I had as a kid for when I finally had the ability to redeem them, but when I finally had access to the internet I learned that they shut down the service a couple months earlier.
I have recently found out that I am stupid. I read "codes", "Wii games", and "shut down the service" and my mind jumped to the Wii Shop.@@PrinceDinoboy
I personally never got much into CN rewards, but the few I did get are really special. I still got my 18 slot 3ds cartridge with interchangable covers, and Majoras Mask soundtrack on CD.
Club Nintendo was fantastic and the first time I committed a crime for a free video game: Pokémon X! They were doing that promotion where if you registered a 3DS system and one of the games on a list, you’d get a free version of either. I already had the game physically, but my little brother wanted their own. We had one of the games (Mario Kart 7), but lost his 3DS’ Club Nintendo paper thing. So… I looked at my code which I already redeemed when I first started my account, changed one of the digits on said code, and it worked. This means I technically stole a code from an unregistered 3DS. Fun times. Also was great just getting some digital games for Wii U and 3DS; the bonus Soundtrack and Mewtwo for Smash; and other physical rewards. I miss it a lot and do plan on eBay purchasing myself one day!
imagine some kid getting a 3DS on their birthday, and they try to enter the club nintendo code and its already been used. this is why i love the internet
I look forward to the Scott's Stash video that's just hours of him putting together that Zelda's jigsaw puzzle. I never got anything from Club Nintendo though I do have a few rewards from the My Nintendo program - top of my head: the Zelda Twilight Princess Picross and Flipnote Studio 3D digital games, and the Splatoon 3 tote bag.
I have the Mario hat from Club Nintendo, and it's pretty nice. It's got a foamy feel, but the quality is way better than what you'd get out of random Mario cosplay suits you find online.
My favorite Club Nintendo reward, and like Scott, one I only got after the fact, is the playing cards. I think he mentioned them off-handedly in his Club Nintendo video as a "whatever" thing, but I really like playing cards, I love collecting different decks of them branded with different themes, and having a set of Mario cards was just so nice. And they're not just your standard paper playing cards, they're like, gilded? Kinda transparent? It's so hard to explain, go look them up, they're VERY cool.
I have a ton of unredeemed Wii games and back then I had no idea what Club Nintendo was. Really wish I knew how to use it, that would have been awesome.
I have so many memories of just browsing the rewards on club Nintendo when I didn’t have any coins just wishing I could get something, a lot of the stuff was pretty bad, but my two favorite things I got from club Nintendo were the Mario playing cards (I think that was a platinum reward) and the Mario messenger bag, I love that bag so much I still use it all the time
I know you didn't like the pins (even though the box/display design looked pretty cool!), I always wished they did a Real 3DS Badge Arcade pin set - so just made the badges real (and not a 2d image on a button pin)
I had quite a lot of stuff from Club Nintendo, I would take my friends codes from their games since they never used them. Got quite a few platinum awards along with other miscellaneous junk. I still have quite a lot of it that I still have on display too. I sadly never got my Smash Wii U/3DS music disc, it got lost in the mail. Oh and the Dark Moon poster glows in the dark too!
I never really knew about club Nintendo till it was shutting so the only thing I ever got was the Mario 3d world soundtrack BUT recently I actually managed to buy that game and watch collection (the Japanese version) for £1.50 in a charity shop. So stoked to have found that bad boy. I want those Mario kart trophies so bad
I remember pre-club nintendo, they had this forum that i was SO devastated about losing when they got rid of it for club nintendo. club nintendo was still the better deal (even the american one) I still use my 3ds 18 cart carrying case lmao
@@savageofdebt2434 YEAH THATS IT I've been trying to remember the name, 12 year old me who shouldn't have been on the forums was so convinced nintendo destroyed it because of club nintendo. still kinda sad it wasn't very well archived
Prior to Club Nintendo the US used to have another reward program known as MyNintendo (not related to the current MyNintendo that replaced Club Nintendo present day). The old MyNintendo would sometimes give free rewards like stickers and posters that matched whatever game you registered. The old MyNintendo was also used as one of the two alternate methods to get The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition and Metroid Prime 2 Echoes Bonus Disc on Gamecube if you didn't want to buy the Gamecube bundle sets sold at retail (the other alternate method was subscribing/renewing to Nintendo Power magazine).
To be fair to Game & Watch Collection 2, it does have more value than the original by having a remix of sorts, hybridizing Parachute and Octopus into one dual-screen game. Granted, it is a little silly going from rescuing air droppers from shark infested waters to then occasionally dive into said shark infested waters to steal treasure from an octopus, but hey.
The game card case was my baby i used to carry that around with me all the time up until i lost it one day at school with my entire 3ds library. 9 years later as an adult I finally rebuilt my entire library over time just not putting them all in one case lol.
I miss Club Nintendo but more because of their digital offerings, as someone who doesn't live in north America the physical rewards were never an option, it's sad that now MyNintendo technically exists officially here but we don't have physical rewards available
I was big on club Nintendo just before it ended. I mostly used it for the 3ds game card cases and retro game downloads for the Wii U. It was clearly underrated, because most used games I purchased still had unused codes. I actually...... went into used game stores and took pictures of codes the last week it was active. And redeemed them for prizes. They woulda gone to waste! And it didn't matter how many Wii Fit codes I submitted, it gave me points every time! Don't judge me! I also made it a point to complete my Nintendo DS collection before Club Nintendo ended. Because it was a really good sign when buying a used DS game if it had an authentic Club Nintendo code in the case. There was, and still is, alot of fake DS games out there and they can be difficult to spot. Obviously an authentic Club Nintendo code didn't 100% guarantee that the game was authentic, but it was definitely a reassuring sign.
It didn't look that great when displaying, and compared to the awesome 3d Mario statue you could get for platinum rewards from a different year, pins were lame
Those handheld history cards are super charming. It'd be cool to see other companies do some similar stuff. Xbox and Playstation, specifically. Not necessarily for points or stars or whatever, but sending out a little a magazine, sticker pack, cards, or whatever PSN or Live subscribers. With the prices of their online service already being pretty high and occasionally increasing, sending just a little something out to people who either buy a year or maintain a monthly subscription for a year would at least feel both like you're getting something special AND that they are celebrating their history. It'd cost pennies and fans love that kind of stuff. It'd likely even drive up subs, even if it's just a small amount.
I have the DS game holder that let you display your DS game cases in a bookshelf-like format, where the endcaps are mario hats. It's pretty cute, and functional! I always put my favorite DS games in it to display
We got terrible stuff for Club Nintendo except for that bowser statue. I remember I was hunting for that Mario Kart trophy for a long time. The Japanese Club Nintendo stuff was incredible! RIP
I loved scratching the codes off of the leaflets that came inside of Wii and 3DS games, and browsing through the website. I had quite a lot of those things, since many seemed to never use theirs even on used copies. I wish I got to own that Mario or luigis mansion statue they did at one point.
I live in the UK and whilst I remember there being some really cool physical items being advertised through the club, they were nearly impossible to get hold of because they were made in such limited quantities and would sell out immediately. The only big ticket item I think I got was a discounted Nintendo DS, which I seem to remember getting a week or two before it was officially released, with a copy of Mario 64 DS and a t-shirt that said "Touch Me" on it. Sold the console a long time ago but I still have the t-shirt in a box somewhere.
im a lil surprised scott didnt mention the mario paint medley being on the smash 4 CDs. that song actually wasnt in the base game, only being added in the june update in 2015. the CDs shipped out in january, so it was the only way to listen to a then unused song for a while.
Actually I think my Nintendo has some pretty good rewards. I here a Mario kart lanyard I use, but the most useful thing I have is a case for my games, it’s a switch box with some my Nintendo art on it, it holds 8 games, I constantly use it when I go on trips.
My fave club Nintendo reward was my three gold collectible coins for the 3 RPGs. Xenoblade, last story and Pandora's tower. ( We also got a cardboard sleeve for the three games. ) The coins were ina special case and were very cool.
There was an expensive Europe only Animal Crossing wrist watch which I could never find on eBay. The only info I could find was the wiki and a random article from like 2010-2012 or something announcing its release. Anyone know anything about it? Maybe something Scott should add to the collection. 😂
18:33 One time I tried plugging in my SNES mini controller into a Wii remote and played Kirby's Dream Land 3 on Dream Collection and it actually worked. I guess this accessory explains why...
That's why they used those proprietary connectors for the Classic consoles instead of just USB. I don't have either of the Classic systems but you can probably do the reverse, plugging a Wii Classic Controller into a SNES Classic should work as a controller.
I was able to get a few of these rewards back then but I wasn't able to buy a lot of games due to my very limited budget then. Missed out on some things I really wanted. Nintendo didn't have to do all this but it was cool that they did.
Except if you live in any of the Nordic countries, the games and systems came with the code cards, but it wasn’t available here because Nintendo doesn’t sell directly, they use a company called Bergsala. My Nintendo did come here and was great, at first with 3DS themes, some games and apps plus discounts on Wii U and 3DS. Now we don’t have anything other that icons to use the platinum coins on, because there is no shipping option for physical rewards here. 🥺
I have a lot of special memories with Club Nintendo. Those 8-bit Mario pins especially. Long story short, my little sister wanted a few of the pins, so I let her have some. Cut to a few years later and she's sadly no longer with us. My family was cleaning up her room sometime after that, and among other things they find one of those pins I gave her. The 8-bit Blooper. It was dented, but otherwise still good. She still held onto it all this time. I keep the pin on my favorite jacket to remember her by.
i bought that super famicom club nintendo controller back then as soon as i knew they got that as a reward..still have it today...thing was/is still cool to have with wii being a emulation machine
The A button on the Wii remote controller is a channel up button for basic channel surfing, while on the D-pad, up and down are for channel control, left and right are for volume, and the home button is an off timer, a feature that allows you to turn your tv off at a specific time. Can’t read what the plus and minus button are sadly but yeeee
That collection of Famicom games for the GBA is THE BEST OF THE BEST, I LOVE SEEING THAT THING EVER SINCE I SAW IT ON THE NES CLASSICS VIDEO ❤️❤️❤️ Also, Seeing that messed up Mario Sprite at 22:43 is SO Hilarious 😂
I was a sneaky SOB. I used to open the cases in GameStop (the ones they had to advertise the games, not the new ones) and those cases would still have the codes. So I’d take a pic of the code and just kept getting free stuff from Club Nintendo
❗️My Timestamps: 0:05 Over here in 🇪🇺 (I'm from England🏴), 'Club Nintendo' was called 'NintendoVIP'. 7:17 When I first saw those Handheld Cards in the 'Lookback at Club Nintendo' Video I instantly went on E-Bay but haven't found them since.
I miss old nintendo, before Reggie Fils. The days before he ever came along were the golden years of Nintendo. Unfortunately, many if not most of you will never get to live through a time of such absolute perfection and special. Everything was new, creative and downright cool. Today, its theft of ideas, stale rehashes and lackluster attempts at anything. I hate getting old.
I remember checking Club Nintendo one day after school and seeing Kid Icarus AR cards available for free. The crazy thing is that these were some of the few cards released in North America. By the way, several comments have mentioned that the LM poster glows in the dark but so does the Majora's Mask puzzle.
3:08 Me too. Like right now for some reason I feel like I NEED to own every Mario Kart. All I need is Mario Kart 64, Super Circuit, and Super Mario Kart. :P
From memory.. The best I got was a cool soundtrack and book set - Nintendo Sounds Selection (endings and Credits).. A couple of Zelda faux leather bags. A Stylus set. A 3ds wallet.. A Mario hat shaped 3ds case.
i have that pin set and its really just sitting there doing nothing. i have played around with it enough to know the other patterns. but when you put it back together i knew it looked off. Started to flip and i noticed mario is not near the top of the pole... i knew it was coming but it still gave me a chuckle. i did the exact thing before 😂 i missed out on the first game and watch collection, so i got the second one. as much as i liked parachut and octopus i wanted donkey kong much more. got the japanese ver on ebay - eng was way too expensive. played dk till i got 999 then quit. green house i am not as good or interested. never had oil panic as a kid so that didnt do much for me. Club nintendo was great, but my nintendo is starting to catch on. i have these cool keychains that look like n64 game boxes. just got a set of the pins that look like the coins. cant wait for a video on that.
Great video Scott. I liked your update video yesterday too. I know most of us only know you as a great content creator, but you are just a person like a lot of us. Don't burn yourself out. But we appreciate the great content
Great selection. The GC controllers are absolutely awesome. I'm still missing the Wario variant and the Club Nintendo Wavebird, but they are really hard to find and super expensive. The 8-bit Mario plush is another reward that I really like, and my absolute favorite must be the Gameboy Micro player II cover for the 20th anniversary Super Mario edition. We didn't get rewards like that in Europe either.
I have two 18-card cases for 3ds games, 3 posters from mario all stars 3d, and a gold & platinum pin set. I really wanted the 3ds xl charging station, but the 2 or 3 runs they added to the store instantly sold out.

Because it was a really good sign when buying a used DS game if it had an authentic Club Nintendo code in the case. There was, and still is, alot of fake DS games out there and they can be difficult to spot. Obviously an authentic Club Nintendo code didn't 100% guarantee that the game was authentic, but it was definitely a reassuring sign.
I loved how Nintendo did this stuff
"I've seen cheese with better packaging"
Brilliant Scott, just brilliant.
That pin set is amazing, not sure how people thought that was lame
It didn't look that great when displaying, and compared to the awesome 3d Mario statue you could get for platinum rewards from a different year, pins were lame
My thoughts too
Those handheld history cards are super charming.
It'd be cool to see other companies do some similar stuff. Xbox and Playstation, specifically.
Not necessarily for points or stars or whatever, but sending out a little a magazine, sticker pack, cards, or whatever PSN or Live subscribers. With the prices of their online service already being pretty high and occasionally increasing, sending just a little something out to people who either buy a year or maintain a monthly subscription for a year would at least feel both like you're getting something special AND that they are celebrating their history. It'd cost pennies and fans love that kind of stuff. It'd likely even drive up subs, even if it's just a small amount.
I have the DS game holder that let you display your DS game cases in a bookshelf-like format, where the endcaps are mario hats. It's pretty cute, and functional! I always put my favorite DS games in it to display
We got terrible stuff for Club Nintendo except for that bowser statue. I remember I was hunting for that Mario Kart trophy for a long time. The Japanese Club Nintendo stuff was incredible! RIP
Nostalgia is one hell of a thing.
I loved scratching the codes off of the leaflets that came inside of Wii and 3DS games, and browsing through the website. I had quite a lot of those things, since many seemed to never use theirs even on used copies. I wish I got to own that Mario or luigis mansion statue they did at one point.
scott has more nintendo history than the nintendo history museum in the NYC nintendo store.
I live in the UK and whilst I remember there being some really cool physical items being advertised through the club, they were nearly impossible to get hold of because they were made in such limited quantities and would sell out immediately. The only big ticket item I think I got was a discounted Nintendo DS, which I seem to remember getting a week or two before it was officially released, with a copy of Mario 64 DS and a t-shirt that said "Touch Me" on it. Sold the console a long time ago but I still have the t-shirt in a box somewhere.
im a lil surprised scott didnt mention the mario paint medley being on the smash 4 CDs. that song actually wasnt in the base game, only being added in the june update in 2015. the CDs shipped out in january, so it was the only way to listen to a then unused song for a while.
take a shot everytime he says “back in the day”
Something that would be cool to see is a room tour of his new game room
Damn Scott owns video games that’s nuts
Actually I think my Nintendo has some pretty good rewards. I here a Mario kart lanyard I use, but the most useful thing I have is a case for my games, it’s a switch box with some my Nintendo art on it, it holds 8 games, I constantly use it when I go on trips.
My fave club Nintendo reward was my three gold collectible coins for the 3 RPGs. Xenoblade, last story and Pandora's tower. ( We also got a cardboard sleeve for the three games. ) The coins were ina special case and were very cool.
My 3 favorite CN rewards I got are as follows in order:
Majora's Mask Soundtrack
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
There was an expensive Europe only Animal Crossing wrist watch which I could never find on eBay. The only info I could find was the wiki and a random article from like 2010-2012 or something announcing its release. Anyone know anything about it? Maybe something Scott should add to the collection. 😂
18:33 One time I tried plugging in my SNES mini controller into a Wii remote and played Kirby's Dream Land 3 on Dream Collection and it actually worked. I guess this accessory explains why...
That's why they used those proprietary connectors for the Classic consoles instead of just USB. I don't have either of the Classic systems but you can probably do the reverse, plugging a Wii Classic Controller into a SNES Classic should work as a controller.
I was able to get a few of these rewards back then but I wasn't able to buy a lot of games due to my very limited budget then. Missed out on some things I really wanted. Nintendo didn't have to do all this but it was cool that they did.
Definitely frame that club nintendo poster. you already know that.
Except if you live in any of the Nordic countries, the games and systems came with the code cards, but it wasn’t available here because Nintendo doesn’t sell directly, they use a company called Bergsala. My Nintendo did come here and was great, at first with 3DS themes, some games and apps plus discounts on Wii U and 3DS. Now we don’t have anything other that icons to use the platinum coins on, because there is no shipping option for physical rewards here. 🥺
I have a lot of special memories with Club Nintendo. Those 8-bit Mario pins especially.
Long story short, my little sister wanted a few of the pins, so I let her have some. Cut to a few years later and she's sadly no longer with us. My family was cleaning up her room sometime after that, and among other things they find one of those pins I gave her. The 8-bit Blooper. It was dented, but otherwise still good. She still held onto it all this time. I keep the pin on my favorite jacket to remember her by.
We need a Scott club that just talks about Scott the woz
22:45 that made me laugh too hard.
But I sincerely love that concept around every side of each box having artwork to swap together with SMB1 sprites.
Back when they gave out the pin set as the platinum reward, Nintendo sent me two. I felt so lucky to have two sets of them.
i bought that super famicom club nintendo controller back then as soon as i knew they got that as a reward..still have it today...thing was/is still cool to have with wii being a emulation machine
22:44 - God Tier Comedy
The A button on the Wii remote controller is a channel up button for basic channel surfing, while on the D-pad, up and down are for channel control, left and right are for volume, and the home button is an off timer, a feature that allows you to turn your tv off at a specific time. Can’t read what the plus and minus button are sadly but yeeee
That collection of Famicom games for the GBA is THE BEST OF THE BEST, I LOVE SEEING THAT THING EVER SINCE I SAW IT ON THE NES CLASSICS VIDEO ❤️❤️❤️
Also, Seeing that messed up Mario Sprite at 22:43 is SO Hilarious 😂
The day he drops a video on the L button, fucking run.
"My Nintendo" Collection when?
Scott pulls out a big bingo card binder
Those handheld cards are really cool. Great to display the handhelds with the cards in a game room.
I always went for the posters - my college dorm room was filled with posters from Club Nintendo.
5th grade me felt like such a badass with that bowser jr. folder
I would love a scott stash video where scott goes over all his games on other consoles he ownes playstation etc
I used those cards to decorate my bedroom as a kid.
Club Nintendo was the predecessor to edging for Nintendo fans
im calling the cops
have u considered framing all the handheld cards and making like a cool collage of the framed cards on a wall?
I got so many points off of the games people would trade in back in the day that never got redeemed!
The ghost on the Luigi's Mansion poster glow in the dark. Love that poster.
I was a sneaky SOB. I used to open the cases in GameStop (the ones they had to advertise the games, not the new ones) and those cases would still have the codes. So I’d take a pic of the code and just kept getting free stuff from Club Nintendo
I do think that the Majora's Mask CD presents value because none of that stuff is officially released on digital platforms
❗️My Timestamps:
0:05 Over here in 🇪🇺 (I'm from England🏴), 'Club Nintendo' was called 'NintendoVIP'.
7:17 When I first saw those Handheld Cards in the 'Lookback at Club Nintendo' Video I instantly went on E-Bay but haven't found them since.
I miss old nintendo, before Reggie Fils. The days before he ever came along were the golden years of Nintendo. Unfortunately, many if not most of you will never get to live through a time of such absolute perfection and special. Everything was new, creative and downright cool. Today, its theft of ideas, stale rehashes and lackluster attempts at anything. I hate getting old.
My My Nintendo collection when
I remember checking Club Nintendo one day after school and seeing Kid Icarus AR cards available for free. The crazy thing is that these were some of the few cards released in North America. By the way, several comments have mentioned that the LM poster glows in the dark but so does the Majora's Mask puzzle.
I've never seen a luigi controller in the box before. That's incredible.
LUIGI CONTROLLER
I had chills when I saw Scott actually wrapping the Cable around the Controllers. You cannot tell me these two still work, these cables are boned.
Doing that will only damage the wires in a cable if the cable is wrapped tightly and frequently, otherwise it's fine
Babe wake up new Scott upload
3:08 Me too. Like right now for some reason I feel like I NEED to own every Mario Kart. All I need is Mario Kart 64, Super Circuit, and Super Mario Kart. :P
From memory.. The best I got was a cool soundtrack and book set - Nintendo Sounds Selection (endings and Credits).. A couple of Zelda faux leather bags. A Stylus set. A 3ds wallet.. A Mario hat shaped 3ds case.
i have that pin set and its really just sitting there doing nothing. i have played around with it enough to know the other patterns.
but when you put it back together i knew it looked off. Started to flip and i noticed mario is not near the top of the pole... i knew it was coming but it still gave me a chuckle. i did the exact thing before 😂
i missed out on the first game and watch collection, so i got the second one. as much as i liked parachut and octopus i wanted donkey kong much more.
got the japanese ver on ebay - eng was way too expensive. played dk till i got 999 then quit. green house i am not as good or interested. never had oil panic as a kid so that didnt do much for me.
Club nintendo was great, but my nintendo is starting to catch on. i have these cool keychains that look like n64 game boxes. just got a set of the pins that look like the coins. cant wait for a video on that.
Great video Scott. I liked your update video yesterday too. I know most of us only know you as a great content creator, but you are just a person like a lot of us. Don't burn yourself out. But we appreciate the great content
Great selection. The GC controllers are absolutely awesome. I'm still missing the Wario variant and the Club Nintendo Wavebird, but they are really hard to find and super expensive. The 8-bit Mario plush is another reward that I really like, and my absolute favorite must be the Gameboy Micro player II cover for the 20th anniversary Super Mario edition. We didn't get rewards like that in Europe either.
my favorite thing about the luigi's mansion dark moon poster is that the ghosts glow in the dark. that's such a nice touch
I used to go into GameStop and take pictures of the club Nintendo cards in the preowned cases on the shelf
I have two 18-card cases for 3ds games, 3 posters from mario all stars 3d, and a gold & platinum pin set.
I really wanted the 3ds xl charging station, but the 2 or 3 runs they added to the store instantly sold out.
Here in Europe we had this SNES Controller for Wii as well and I'm so glad that I got one of them back in the day 🤗
i rather see scott's stash videos than regular scott the woz ones and i love scott the woz
23:55 THE EL CONTROLLER
I'm glad I'm not the only one who waisted my points on getting both Wiimote cups
