Nintendo Gaming / RE:New European Stars Catalogue

« on: September 09, 2003, 10:39:55 AM »

Nintendo.co.uk have now posted an article saying that there was too much demand the first time and their system crashed, and that they'll "re-relaunch" the catalogue again at some unspecified future time.

Quote
The demand for our relaunched Stars Catalogue has been big. So big, in fact, that our site experienced some technical problems - and those of you trying to access those brand new gifts have been greeted by some very long loading times.

We want everyone to be able to access our raft of new gifts - not just those with a fast enough connection to wade through the syrup successfully. So we're temporarily postponing the Stars Catalogue relaunch until we have the hitch fixed.

Those of you who did manage to purchase a gift with your Stars needn't worry - we've got the details of every completed transaction, so if you received a confirmation mail, you'll get your prize. And if you missed out, don't fret - after the relaunch, the Stars Catalogue will be updated every week with new gifts. Well over 800 items are on their way, so there are plenty of opportunities to come away smiling.

To everyone who turned up and contributed to the spectacular and unprecedented demand on Monday - sorry for the problems, and be assured that you won't have to wait too much longer to get your hands on those long-awaited real-life goodies. We'll update you on this site in plenty of time for the rescheduled relaunch, so keep your eyes right here.

I'm confused by this whole situation. For me, the Stars Catalogue is still showing the "The Stars Catalogue is Changing!" page, with the countdown which long since reached zero. These gifts must have been there extremely fleetingly if I missed them.

Hey, I was going to register just to talk about how damn great Tetris Attack was. But I see it's already been done. It was great when you got such a big combo at the same time as your opponent and it slowed the SNES down. Aaahhh.

Anyway, I'll choose...

Super Mario Sunshine
GameCube
2002

Noone seemed to go that mad about it, and (travesty of justice) Eternal Darkness bet it to 2nd place behind Metroid in IGN's GCN game of 2002 poll. But it was just so much fun. The spraying... and the stuff. Especially just the carefree larking around in Delfino Plaza. It improved in SM64 in every conceivable way. The joy of discovering a new mini-game or something. Even those goddamned impossible-to-find blue coins. And a final boss battle in a hot tub! Genius! Oh yes.
