Super Mario RPG GameStop Pre-Order Revealed (North America)

They look better than the ones I got for Metroid Dread. I can put Geno on a beanie!

Buttons are not the same thing as pins. You can’t convince me otherwise.

Enamel pins and i'd have pre ordered in a flash, I'll hold for now and see what other stores offer. (Spoilt bratt)

I get that GameStop has like no money, but they could switch up the pre-order bonuses more often. I would love to see a Super Mario RPG ancient sword as a pre-order bonus.

I've pre-ordered games from GameStop and then never got the pre-order bonus, contacted them and had them say "oh yeah you should have received one, oops, sorry but SOL as it's out of stock" so. No thanks.

Good luck getting preorder items from GameStop. They get a few at each store so if you're not one of the first 3-4 people picking up the game, you're not going to get it.

I never will forget all those years ago in 03 I preordered viewtiful joe from GameStop and got a large joe bobblehead. It was very good quality I thought.

@HotGoomba What's good, Goombaa?

Too bad Nintendo themselves rarely make Special Editions these days. On the other hand, scalpers have largely spoiled the fun.

For starters, no gamer goes to GameStop. Secondly, the majority of us have rightfully stopped supporting archaic formats that cause waste and take up unnecessary space. Third, this bonus sucks and 90% of the people who do pre-order it from there won't get it anyway.

@NintendoWife The problem there are fake gamers paying the scalpers, and sites like eBay allowing illegal transactions. A rare item that's out of print, hard to come by, etc will command a higher price, that's natural. A brand new released item that is going for 3x more than what is available currently on store shelves is price gouging. Scalpers aren't the problem, it's the fakes who pay that price, eBay, and retailers not giving a damn.

@RobynAlecksys What do you mean by "fake gamers", you mean idiots with money who don't actually care about playing, just hoarding collectibles?

Yeah but it feels that the whole concept of "limited editions" is kinda broken in this age. You have people whose 'job' consists of monitoring release dates, snatching up all available copies and immediately raising the price by 200%.

It’s beautiful! That’s very cool they’re putting out a pin set to commemorate this monumental release. My favorite title ever is being remade for the masses. There’s a lot of buzz and I’m honored to be a part of it. Still can’t believe it’s real! 😭

Those look like buttons, not pins, and even if they are, the image doesn't really show their quality. Initial impressions make me feel they're likely cheap.

Normally I'm way into collecting pins, but I don't think I'll be sad if I missed out on these.

@RobynAlecksys I still go to GameStop. If you are lucky you can sometimes get a game there cheaper than getting it online surprisingly. (That is what motivates me to go there.)

I wanted to like this game, but the grinding feels so tedious and the humor feels forced. I won't be picking this up. The buttons are kinda cute.

@HotGoomba I'm pretty sure it's the game company that decides what to include in pre-order goodies.

@MKD88 I've never had a problem.

@RobynAlecksys Speak only for yourself.

I had expected any Mario related would come with something. But I did preorded all the upcoming Mario's series release.

It's Only Ever Pins And Stickers! I Wish America Got The U.K MyNintendo Preorder Bonuses.🥺
