I expect it to be an exclusive "preorder" bonus. No official word. However, I am certain the set will be given to some outlets as promotional materials. I know some GS/BBs got merchandise for MK8 and Smash that was never mentioned as preorder bonus.

Now lol. Guy told me I have to return it if I return the game. What game lol? They didn't even mark the receipt like for the NWS 10th Anniversary coin, though it wouldn't matter as receipt isn;t needed for preorder. Go put a preorder and never pick up worse case scenario lol (pretty sure you're in the NYC area).

I have to go demo the games and get a set for myself first!

It looks like Best Buy is also offering the pin set as a preorder incentive: link

Preorders look to be open now too: Mario Maker Preorder

*Edit: To qualify for the pins, it says "...when you pre-order and purchase two games from a list of select Wii U and 3DS titles... Check back on June 17 for qualifying games. You must be a My Best Buy® member to receive this offer."

"Your coupon for the 7-button set will arrive in December 2015."

This is odd.

Nintendo has people all spun up and frenzied to go buy up multiple retail games at $60 that are also months out.  All for things like pins and early amiibo access.  It is quite ridiculous. 

These Nintendo fans are the antithesis of CAGs and they're brainwashed.

At least for me, I want three of those games for sure even without any incentives. With GCU discounts, the preorder bonus items like pins are just icing on the cake.

 
Some CAGs are always a pleasure. 

Can't say I'm super excited for anything so far. The new Star Fox controls could either be annoying or fun to me--I'd need to demo it before I consider buying. Then again, I wouldn't buy anything Star Fox for more than $30, so I'll have plenty of time lol.

fuck the pins, I'm pre-ordering them because I want those games.

 
Why on earth nintendo don't at minimum release a Super Mario Sunshine HD remake bundled with a Mario/Fludd Nintendo is beyond me. I think Nintendo needs all new management. They should be a new large world Mario game something like Galaxy 3 or Mario 64 Scale but that seems out of the question since Nintendo can't even get an HD remake done even though they know it's sure $$$. 

 
Where is everyone getting pins from? They're clearly advertised as buttons.

It's not really Amiibo related, but how are these "reward buttons" being handed out? Employees probably don't know what the heck is going on with this, do you have to order today or the 17th to qualify?

"N" is very broken, and I see no fix in their future. You can't fix a problem, until you admit you have one, and they are the most blind fuck er's, I've ever seen.

Almost everything they do now a days, seems like they want to go out of business. There are "TONS" of sound products and games they could be releasing to bring money in hand over fist, and they seem to dumb, stupid, or blind to seem to be bothered. I have my memories, and when it comes to "N", that's all there is, because their current business is just flat out tragic.

 
didn't pick up any amiibo at NW as I was waiting to demo stuff.  If anyone interested in wave 4 (no exclusives, Robin/Lucina will be trades), splatoon, or silver mario I can pickup.  Nintendo World Championships (1990 remake ver) shirts/tanks and Nintendo World Store 10th anniversary shirts available too.

Only got to try Trioforce Heroes which was okay. Felt a bit slow.  So unorganized as employees would randomly ask people if they wanted to demo a game, and then be allowed to line up.  I was not asked for any of the Wii U demos after waiting 30+ min after Triforce Heroes (wait time for that 5-10min)

 
Ok, after just watching the close up look and discussion on all the new amiibo's at E3 on nintendo's treehouse I have to say Rob in both nes and famicom colors is amazing. I really want Rob amiibo's but it would probably be easier to get a functioning T-800 endoskeleton. I'll get me a Rob though even if I have to Rob a bank.

You're absolutely right, it seems to be in stock, which is not a Nintendo thing.

On an amiibo related topic, R.O.B. famicom looks crazy dope.

They need to fire Reggie. I don't know how that asshat still has a job.

Did not have time to wait for demo b/ rep gave me a pin. I forgot to preorder a second game to get button offer. Will go back. Coupon states offer available through July 17.

How was the event for it handled and how long was the line? Was it just one Wii U demo station? Did people only get to try levels or where they allowed to make a course? I wanted to go but the nearest one was like 40 minutes away and I didn't want to bother driving all the way just to wait hours in line as people played a 1 Player game.

This thought occurred to me earlier today but Nintendo is more of merchandise company now than they've ever been.

I remember back in the days, they used to have the little NP catelog with some cool stuff you can buy... that's nothing compared to what they have now. I've seen Nintendo characters officially plastered on literally everything... it makes sense, they've got a loyal following who grew up playing their games that now probably don't have time to play games but have plenty of disposable income to buy shit.

 
I played Mario Maker today, my location also had a demo of Zelda Triforce Heroes and it was A LOT of fun. Got a nice amount of Nintendo swag. Love these types of events wish they happened more often. 

As usual, no amiibo at the BB location lol. (well minus mario party ones all over the place and pikachus)

No, not in NY - thus the request :) Looks like I'll have to fleabay that Starfox pin. Did you end up getting yourself any?

 
Heads up to any local hunters still looking near Garner/Clayton, NC:

At 3:20 pm, I spotted 1 Charizard, 1 PacMan, 1 Wario, and 1 Splatoon 3-pak in the GameStop nearest 40/42 (the one in the Walmart shopping center). No claims or holds on them yet the GS employee said. The Charizard may be an issue if you don't open, but the others look great! Good luck!

Not exactly true. The game is free but you need amiibo to play it. Sounds the the physical game comes with 2 amiibo and cards for $59.99 so its really not a big deal.

I totally hate this concept being used for the animal crossing ip. They should have done a traditional one but with some tweaks and upgrades imo. I'm afraid of nintendo abusing amiibos for their project "nx" console :(

That's fine. If you aren't interested in it then its simply not for you and you can choose not to buy it.

Don't know if this has already been said or not, but the pins are from e3. I got the 30th anniversary pin from playing Mario maker.

They gave out a booklet that detailed which games had Mario pins. You had to play Mario maker, Zelda, Mario tennis, MP federation force, etc to get them. Star fox and yoshi had patches instead. The main star fox booth (which had you playing the game from replica arwings) had special star fox pins.

Pretty cool to see that I be able to get the rest of the pins by just pte ordering games I was going to get anyways
 
Got all my wave 5 preorders from Japan. Once again, pay a little extra save a lot of time and gas money. But then again, I don't buy them so they can sit in a box on the shelf.

Was that the Arwing pin? I saw that yesterday on Twitter, that thing was pretty sweet. Wish it would show up as a preorder bonus.
 
Ugh, I'm never using Tenso again. Everyone raved about buying Wave 5 from Amazon and using Tenso, but it's going to cost like $40 to ship the 5 amiibo. :whistle2:/
