Author Topic: UncleBob's New Crazy Contest regarding his MyNintendo account. (Read 8345 times)

UncleBob · « **on:** May 21, 2008, 01:36:44 AM »

So... I like to register my games on Nintendo.com. I know there's no real reason to do it... I just want Nintendo to know how much I love them (hint: a lot).

I just registered WiiFit (before even playing it... hell, if I could register it before opening it, I probably would)... and I'm up to having 110 games/systems registered.

So, here's the contest. Take a guess as to what my 125th game will be. It could be anything from Wii, Virtual Console, WiiWare, DS, GameCube, Game Boy Advance... there's no limit (aside from stuff that can't be registered or stuff that is already registered, of course...).

There's a few things though...

~~1.) I won't divulge my list of registered items. Maybe after the contest.~~
2.) I will continue to register items as soon as I buy them/get home/get time. I will not hold a game until I get a different one to register first.
3.) I will not divulge information regarding upcoming purchases. Well, nothing extra. I won't answer questions or such, but I might mention in another thread about how I can't wait for GameX.
4.) Keep in mind, if I find a game that I'm totally uninterested in that I can register for cheap, I'll do it. I bought a Pokémon GBA Video for $1.50 just so I could register it. (well, that, and I wanted a GBA Video to mess around with and try out the interface and such.)
5.) You're only allowed one guess. You can change your guess as often as you wish. If you want to change your guess, go back and edit your old guess to remove it, then create a new post with your new guess.
6.) More than one person can guess the same title - however, only the person with the earliest *unedited* correct vote will win.
7.) I don't know what the prize will be. It'll be something crappy, I'm sure. You're not allowed to complain about the crappy prize.
8.) Other rules may follow. If I add/change a rule, I will update the OP and reply. I will not intentionally create rules to screw anyone over.
9.) When I register a game, I will make a new post to let everyone know (so people can change their guesses, etc.). I can't promise I'll make the post as soon as I register the new game, but I'll try to remember ASAP.

I'm gonna go for the longshot and say Super Mario RPG on the Virtual Console.

I'll take Mario Super Sluggers for the potential win, bob.

It's probably going to be something stupid, I just registered Wii Fit and it's my 111th registered game on My Nintendo. I looked back and as far as I can tell my 100th game registered on My Nintendo was the SNES game Vegas Stakes on the VC, which this site (back when they did recommendations for VC games) did not recommend for anyone.

UncleBob · « **Reply #7 on:** May 22, 2008, 12:58:55 AM »

Crap.

I have to suspend the contest.

I registered WiiFit last night. When I did, I had 93 items registered. WiiFit should have made 94... but it didn't add to my list automatically. This isn't too unusual, so when I went back today to make sure it was there - it wasn't...

...and my list said I had 92 items registered!

So, I did what any sane person would do... went through my games and compared them to the list to find out what was missing.

I found a total of 13 games (5 Wii Games, including WiiFit, 1 GBA game, 4 DS games and 3 Virtual Console titles) that weren't on my list. As I mentioned before, I almost always register my games before I even play them, so this surprises me (not to mention the fact that the Virtual Console titles should register automatically). Two of the titles not registered are Mario Kart and Brawl - two titles I *know* I registered.

Anywhoo... the contest is over, I suppose... Once I get this straightened out, perhaps I'll revamp it to something like my 110th title or such....

Super Smash Bros Oh

Yeah, MyNintendo seems to break when you have that many items, mine seems to lose stuff all the time when I register them. I've actually had to reregister some of my stuff years later because they got dumped magically.

UncleBob · « **Reply #11 on:** May 26, 2008, 11:29:26 PM »

Disqualified: That game will never come out (despite it's Japan release date)

I was gonna go with The Conduit but what I hear about bob here tells me he likely will surpass game 200 by then.

UncleBob · « **Reply #15 on:** May 28, 2008, 12:19:39 AM »

#111 - Dr. Mario Online Rx Demo WDL

UncleBob · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2009, 10:37:31 AM »

Here's to bumping old threads. I was sorting though my list (someone requested a list of GCN titles you could register - while I don't have them all, I gave them my list, which should get them a good ways.

Well, the 125th thing I registered... was a Nintendo Game Boy Advance, on 11/22/2008

Of course, since this was in regards to games, I went back and took out the systems... Game #125 - Super Mario Bros. 3 for Wii Virtual Console.

For fun:

Before the official launch of Club Nintendo, I had 123 items registered, the last being Personal Trainer: Cooking. Since the launch of Club Nintendo, I have registered a total of 172 items. This includes games I've since registered twice (like, Mario Kart: Double Dash) when I have multiple copies and systems that I've registered up to three of.

My first registered title was my GameCube, followed by Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga for the GBA.

#25 - Metroid Prime Pinball for the DS
#50 - Classic NES Series: Ice Climber for the GBA
#100 - Bomberman '93 for the Virtual Console
#150 - Nintendo DS Browser (My second one, I registered it, along with my second copies of 1080 and Double Dash once I realized I could register them on my family account)

My most recently registered game is Zelda II for the Virtual Console.

I've registered 29 VC and Wii Ware titles, 18 Wii titles, 53 DS titles, 24 GCN titles, 24 GBA titles, 12 DSiWare titles and 14 systems.

Game that I have registered and you don't:
Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube, registered on 11/24/2006.

Oh yeah well I got a plush GameCube toy for playing Melee at E3 2001 and you didn't.

HARH!

How did you register 15 systems? Can you register systems older than GameCube?

3 GameCubes
3 GBAs
1 GBA SP
3 GB micros
1 Wii
1 DS
1 DS lite
2 DSi

And no, attempts to register older equipment are rebuffed with a "This product is not registrable" message. Which means that Club Nintendo recognizes my old SNES-mini's serial number, they just don't care.

Stratos · « **Reply #24 on:** February 14, 2010, 07:52:08 PM »

Too bad they didn't allow the older codes to be accepted under a group called 'Legacy systems' so you could still track them.
