Topic: Hot Summer Club Nintendo Contest in Japan

[Bloodworth]

More goodies most of us will never see.

Japan's Club Nintendo rewards program is running an exclusive summer contest for its members.  By registering a Nintendo DS or specific games, members will be entered into the contest and can pick their preferred prize. The hottest prizes are a series of Nintendo DS systems emblazoned with wireframe profiles of the Mario crew and what looks like a short message of your own. Only 200 of each design will be given away.  Additionally, 1000 will win a Panasonic digital music player with an SD card full of Nintendo music, and 3000 will win Nintendo DS carrying cases.  Pics of all are below.

Awesome looking. Darn it Nintendo! Send those to America!

I DEMAND PEACH! What? Stop looking at me like that!

Those wireframes are pretty detailled. I wonder if they're from SSB3? They're definitely not cutscene material.

Nintendo has high-quality models for promotional materials like boxart and wallpapers.  Let's not forget those Camelot FMV scenes.

Those aren't models for CG. Too many triangles. No subD. Too detailled for a subD cage. They'd look blocky close up and couldn't be smoothed to prevent that. If they were smoothed there would be a few more lines in certain places and if they were meant for smoothing they'd be less detailed and use no tris.

Mmmmm...Hot Summer Peach...

These are cool, I want one!  Actually, with 200 of each being released, there may be a chance of getting one on Ebay some day, although you won't get your own personalized message.

I'm going to pray for this.
