Unofficial 'Club Nintendo' Anthology Smashes Kickstarter Goal

Hmmm interesting, I'd hope if it is a definitive archive then the author(s) will be sure to include region exclusive rewards!

Whenever I see something like this, I always wonder what's going to happen when or if the creators crash against the tide of copyright clearances.

I miss Club Nintendo so much. Was nice being able to just get things like Wind Waker or Tropical Freeze for free as opposed to nowadays when it's like you get a wallpaper or something. Though the Gold Points are nice.

An interesting idea I guess but it's that stupid kickstarter thing. Low form capalatism.

Inb4 Nintendo ninjas taking it down

I like the look of this book, but I think maybe those add-ons are going to get it in trouble using the Mario coin imagery like that?

Nice. I love in-depth content, and am an avid reader of all things retro. I wonder what the write-ups for each item will be like.
I hope it delves into things like "this promotional item was created to celebrate the x anniversary of y franchise, which happened on the nth of Monthary." and things like that. Maybe taking a peek into the designers, and maybe even proto-pics and things.

NDA NINJAS COMING FOR YOU!!!!

Miss Club Nintendo so much, My Nintendo rewards can't even leave their warehouse without being sent back to them as they don't understand where Guernsey is (all they need to do is fill out a customs form)
I do have my two Mushroom Cup Trophies (they sent me two for some reason), my Hanafuda Cards, my Mario see through playing cards and my SNES controller for Wii all from Club Nintendo

Ironically, this would have made a nice Club Nintendo reward.

I got some amazing stuff out of the old Club Nintendo; keyrings, mousemats, charm chains, pin badges, dioramas and a few games too across the GBA and GameCube. I miss that catalogue, it was far superior to the near pittance we get now.

The latter half of the book will showcase a fine collection of png keychains.

300 pages on Doc Louis' Punch Out and Grill-Off with Ultra-Hand

I got myself a couple of small things and the Zelda Picross 3DS game from Club Nintendo, but when it was reaching its end, some very generous fellow member of another gaming site offered to use their accumulated points to get rewards for people. They got me a really nice soft grey pouch for my N3DS, it still lives in it. People can be great.

I got my VIP fat pre-launch DS from there. Amazing memory.

Club Nintendo was great and even leading into the WiiU/3DS era rewards were fantastic. I remember getting the Hanafunda cards and the giant 3DS '?' card. Later, I was able to redeem points for DK: TF and Warioware on WiiU. The current loyalty program is a shadow of what used to be offered.

I got a copy of his Mario book a short while ago. It’s really very well done. The kickstarter campaign ran super smoothly and everything happened on time. I’ll be backing this 100%.

When’s Nintendo taking this down?

I remember when Nintendo offered free shipping for those rewards. Now I gotta pay ten bucks to redeem any of the physical goods.

I would enjoy this book, but shipping to the US kills the deal for me.

Start collecting those physical My Nintendo Rewards guys.

Using the Nintendo name and characters in something soliciting money without a license is asking to get sued in record time.

Has anyone mentioned Ninjas yet? Checked. Good. Wouldn’t want people not to be predictable.

Club Nintendo 😔 I've got a few nice posters and some other physical goodies back then, including a basket like bag that I store all my Amiibos in to this day. Very nice, very cool.

Nintendo, BRING IT BACK!! 🤣

This might be the dumbest thing I have ever read.

"This idea is interesting; too bad I'd have to pay the people making the product in order to acquire one."

They type from the device that they paid for...

I still cherish my Mario character diorama.

I thought Club Nintendo was clever for it's time. I think I have a Mario hat, a diorama with Mario characters, and Nintendo hanafuda cards I've gotten from the program. It's nice that something will chronicle this era in Nintendo history that most likely Nintendo will not be reminding us of any time soon, for whatever reason.

As soon as it's out Nintendo will issue a Cease-and-Desist and send their assassins to obliterate every sent copy

@J-Manix98
That person said "An interesting idea I guess" and mentioned they don't like Kickstarter which you interpreted as "I like this and want it, but don't want to pay for it." Quite a leap on your part and then to say it's the dumbest thing you've ever read is hyperbolic and rude.

I think I agree with their sentiment, or maybe I'm just mixing in my own thoughts, but I would also describe a crowd-funded product which is a picture book of someone else's products low form capitalism.

@MaxC Thank you, very kind words.

@J-Manix98 I buy real things from real companies.

So this is a sparse, low effort, stock image picture book and little else? No thank you. I'd rather put money to an anthology that has some actual graft to it.

@Folkloner Where does it say, 'sparse, low effort, stock image picture book and little else'?

I have this creators first book. It's beautifully crafted and this new book looks like it will be the same, except better maybe because there is nothing else like it available. Backed it as soon as I could.

@dew12333
that makes no sense.

@J-Manix98 What is your problem! I guess you are one of those people that profit from kickstarter are you, is that why you keep being curt!
