Bandai To Hold Super Mario Lottery In Japan With Really Cool Prizes To Be Won

The Bowser towel, Boo dispensers and Mario ashtrays are all pretty sweet.

The alarm clock and soap dispensers look pretty awesome.

Boo soap dispensers are obviously the creme of the crop here. All of these are nice though.

Japan only though once again I'm guessing.

These are the sort of things that would be great as physical rewards on My Nintendo.

I do. I need to grab me some nice wifu as well/

Some of this stuff looks kinda cheap and tacky but those boo soap dispensers are kinda neat.

As mentioned by a few before me, the boo soap dispensers are the ones to hope for, but I’d walk away happy with any prize from that!

These are cute. I've seen this kind of stuff with Kirby merch before in Japan, so it seems like it's somewhat common there.

That's totally Rosalina's portable fan.

The Boo dispensers <3

Meanwhile Nintendo hold a charity raffle with Dragonball Z prizes.

That’s cool! Alas, I’m not in Japan.

Oh man, they really should sell these things

The Bowser towel. You could say he is Dry Bowser. Okay I'll leave.

All this just gives me a newfound craving for lifestyle merchandise like the Animal Crossing kitchenware.

@sikthvash I was ok with getting rid of it. The scalpers held up every good item towards the end and America/Europe are larger markets than japan so I’m sure Nintendo was taking losses doing it(it was probably more because of the point card system being abused but still)

@Ulysses yea that’s me and evangelion. Any lifestyle product I can get my hands on I just scoop it up. I have a bunch of the animal crossing kitchen tumblers form a few years back too.

@BoFiS Europe/America are too large a market plus the companies that usually license the name usually suck and produce piss poor items of varying quality. Misty in japan do they really do product right. It’s like anyone outside of japan just doesn’t care the way they do design wise.

Did I miss something? Why is Bandai dealing with Nintendo merchandise?

The Boo soap dispensers and the Bowser towel are awesome.

Lotteries like this are very common in Japan for all sorts of things, but especially games and anime goods.

I'm so glad I don't live in Japan. It would be hard to be a homeless person with all that merch that I'd blow my money on. I have a hard enough time to stop buying plastic now (I'm going to be so disappointed in myself when I'm like 80).

This is the problem of Nintendo. They just do things for japanese people, forgetting the rest of the world.

@Strictlystyles Oh aye, it was certainly flawed, but it would be nice to have some sort of replacement ^_^

@sikthvash I’d be fine with some discounts on switch games. Not even new ones lol. They are so stingy with those😭

@Strictlystyles talk about! I mean there's plenty of decent games 3DS / Wii U offered there, but for minimal discounts & it's usually for stuff 99% of us have already got. Def needs some tweaking with some Switch representation

Pretty nice stuff.
