"While supplies last"
We all know how that's going to go then.
Up until now I have just been roaming around, trying to find sources of water to stick my face in if I wanted a drink. Thanks to Nintendo I will finally be able to take water with me on the go. Nintendo innovation coming in hot once again!
I was expecting a 10% discount on some games and maybe a free wallpaper. I'm honestly surprised!
Wow. I'm surprised that we don't have to pay 2000 gold points and a pint of blood for this amazing bottle.
Nintendo seems unaware that New England even exists, despite it being one of the more densely populated regions of the country. Why do they never have events in Boston?
@thesilverbrick Because Boston is irrelevant when it comes to east coast sites.
Not driving 5 hours for a water bottle, can't wait to see what those limited supplies are scalped for on ebay.
Given how cheap Nintendo manufacture stuff, enjoy your rust tainted water.
A fitting my nintendo reward
2 stops in PA and none in MA? Not that I want a water bottle, but jeez.
Of course no where near WV. Why isn't this kind of thing on My Nintendo's site?
Reminds me of this story.

Expect some of these to end up on Ebay as well.
Another failure of My Nintendo.
Wtf my Nintendo just sucks we used to get so much cool stuff and games from club Nintendo now it's just garbage I don't even check it anymore😒
Sweet! The Harborplace is down the street from where I work. I may end up "stuck in traffic" and arrive to work a little late (with a water bottle in hand)
I'm going to the one in Chicago and I hope to get one. I'll never use it, but I love odd branded collectibles like this.
Technically, the first physical reward for My Nintendo??
...Great, I get to fight all the out of town Super Heros @Comic-Con for it....
... that should be fun!....
@thesilverbrick I have been to multiple Nintendo events in Boston. There was an event for the 3DS and another for the Wii U held in Quincy Market. There was also one for the Gamecube held in Cambridge. That one was cool. It was at night in club type atmosphere and was even sponsored by Maxim magazine which I thought was pretty un-Nintendo at the time.
Just another way that Nintendo is thinking about your health.
You gotta stay hydrated while adventuring around in the world of Hyrule.
My only dream in life is to have a metal water bottle someday.
My Nintendo is such a crap system.
I actually live a short drive away from the Mall Of America, so I may end up going to this event. (and I'd probably pick up that water bottle, just for the hell of it)
Metal water bottle? Now it's just a matter of determining to which city I should book a flight!
USA only?
Woo-hoo! My Nintendo finally has a physical reward! It's quite a shame I won't be getting one without booking a train ticket. This is a collectible not to be missed!
(If you're still confused by now, this post is 100% sarcasm)
My Nintendo does more harm than good. It would be better to have no rewards program than... oh wait, it is a no rewards program. Nevermind.
At least they're finally having an event in South Florida. Don't care for the dumb butt water bottle I just always wanted to attend one of their events.
THUMBS DOWN
How about a free water bottle for ALL My Nintendo users on all continents as a sorry for what you've done with Club Nintendo, huh, Nintendo?
More things like this please. Give us a reason to actually log into My Nintendo and attend events with games we've all already got.
Yep. They don't understand rewards programs. I give up.
Baltimore? Not Washington, DC? Why does Nintendo never come to the capital?
How about they shove those metal water bottles up their... warp pipes.
See? Free water bottles are so much better than free virtual console games! I wish My Nintendo didn't exist.
@DarthNocturnal Didn't you know? The USA ceded from North America and became it's own continent. The prototype name is Trumplandia, but that's subject to change.
I miss the Nintendog postcards from Club Nintendo. Just as pointless, but at least I didn't have to travel to get a pack!
One for Milwaukee. Excellent I can one
Was going to Summerfest anyway so I'll take it. Still not nearly as cool as the Nintendo Skateboard and Trucker hat I won from them like 15 years ago.
@thesilverbrick Why do they rarely visit anything South of Maryland?
They never come to North Carolina...
@DarthNocturnal Only a little over half of us act like that. I hope you don't hate all of us, a good amount of us are really nice people who are (at least) just as frustrated as you are.
I miss Club Nintendo...
Hmm. Closest venue to me is 4 and 1/2 hr drive away. Don't think the trip is worth 'maybe' getting a metal water bottle.
Any related with Ultra Pokemon and Moon?
I live in one of the largest cities in the entire country and yet they are not coming within 500 miles of this?! Idiots.
Nice! Let me hop in my car and drive 3 to 4 days to a location and pick one up!
