Seems like Nintendo has given people just a bit more incentive for pre-ordering Galaxy.
Does not look that good to be honest. The design could be better
Nintendo has a free bonus right at their finger tips that wouldn't cost them a dime.
Just give out free versions of Mario games on VC with a special code.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

Not sure how that "wouldn't cost them a dime" considering there are people buying Mario games every day for $5, $8, and $10 on Virtual Console.Originally Posted by Penguin

that wouldn't be 'free' for them, as they'd lose guaranteed sales.
That's one crappy bonus
Why is platformers.net breaking an exclusive?
well its no OoT rerelease, but still its nice
Do they even have preorder bonuses in Europe? I have never ever seen any preorder bonus for a single game here. Looks like I'll have to eBay this.
its obviously a mock-up
Hopefully VGPlus will be getting these in!
I don't know about pre order bonus (I have never pre ordered before) but we did get a Mario Kart stylus with Mario Kart DS, which was nice.Originally Posted by Capndrake

That's what I wanted to post. Never saw any reason for preordering here...Originally Posted by Capndrake

That's...um...Exciting?
I mean kinda cool for collector's sake I guess but nothing to get worked up over either.

Meh.
platformers.net? who are they? why would they know? what's the source? why is there a question mark after "revealed"? where is that image from? why are they being so vague? why is no one else reporting this?
etc.
etc.
Again, I really don't think this is real. It seems really unlikely that platformers.net would break an exclusive, period, and it seems even more unlikely that they'd break a retail-world exclusive.
The picture they're using is obviously a CG mockup--and I don't think I've ever seen a CG mockup for a retail pre-order bonus. We're also not told which retailers are going to stock the bonus.

in europe you can use your free mario coin to claim your new copy of Galaxy after Nintendo recall them, due to a game ending bug on the press start screen.
The eve syringe for bioshock for example? There are preordering bonuses in spain at least, maybe not for nintendo but for other games they are (Call of duty 3 + faceplate for example)Originally Posted by :Motorbass

Well I got a free stylus with Pokémon Diamond (which broke in the post, but GAME was nice to replace at least), but apart from that I've seen nothing. My incentive to pre-order has really dwindled in the past few years as I don't really feel that double loyalty points is that great.Originally Posted by Capndrake

Better than nothing.
Dang I thought it was gonna be a coin like from the actual mario games, made out of real metal and stuff. For that i would have had to pre-order this without even owning a Wii yet. :lol
The mario coin from SNES games (think when you turn on SM All stars) looks way better.
I was expecting to see a mario game like gold coin, not this silver one.

What is this crap?
Just give me the game, no need for this useless junk.

............... ok i really wanna preorder nao.
Wow. About as lame as they come. It's not even worth the nonsense of pre-ordering.
If this is real is this supposed to be japan only?
this has been known by people who've seen GameCrazy's pre-order gift list for some time now, i thought? seems pretty legit to me.
If it's small it could look quite nice. Anything too big and it'll look cheep and shitty.
Well I'll argue that the size-vs-shittiness curve isn't linear, and that while a 1 inch coin would look stupid, a 10 foot coin would be the bee's knees.Originally Posted by TheGreatDave

I'm sure it's going to be very cheaply made, they have to keep it small to stop that being too obvious. Do we have any size dimensions anywhere?
Well I am off the to the store to pre-order 100 copies. I'll be sure to tell you guys what happens when I collect them all!
I have a pretty good idea, Nintendo wouldn't let me down on this.

Shoulda been the original SMB coin and not some boxart re-imagining.
who cares? I want that damned Club Nintendo barrel puzzle goddamnit.
That's what I was hoping for.Originally Posted by Brandon F

I've seen faceplates for 360 and occasionally DVDs and/or posters if you preorder. I think they have some Halo 3 campaing going on where you can get 10€ off from Live Gold / Extra Controller / something else (30€ savings if you buy all three), if you preorder and fill some coupon and mail it to MS. It varies from chain to chain though. most preorder bonuses are from the stores themselves, I think
I don't see this swaying anyone into a purchase.

Us North American Nintendo buyers should get some free shit for all the crap that we register.
