I hope you’ve all been listening to the GameFans Podcast featuring our dear WiiUDaily editor Ashley King, as well as myself from PS4Daily and Mark Hearn from XboxOneDaily. One thing we have in common with each other is our love for Nintendo. Now it’s time for me to share that love for Nintendo with you, our beloved readers.<\/p>\n
The first video game I ever played was actually Frogger on the Apple II. But I can clearly remember playing the Nintendo Entertainment System for the first time in the late 80’s. I’d come home after school and instead of unzipping my backpack and knocking out my homework, I’d pop in the Super Mario Bros.\/Duck Hunt cartridge and play until my mom came home. Busted!<\/p>\n
Fortunately for me, when my mom would take her anger out on my NES by booting it across my room, it still played just fine. Sure, the door snapped off, but it just got in the way of my games anyway. When you guys talk about Nintendo everyday with your Wii U woes or 3DS tales, I can’t help but recall my childhood growing up with NES and SNES and literally playing the early evolution of games.<\/p>\n
When Nintendo finally brought Club Nintendo to North America around this time in 2008, I couldn’t wait to be one of the first members. It is about to turn 5 years old in North America, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than giving away my cherished Club Nintendo rewards to a new generation of Nintendo gamer.<\/p>\n\n
The first of my collection up for grabs is the “Super Mario Characters Figure<\/a>” featuring seven iconic Mario characters huddled near a warp pipe. If you’re interested in placing this Club Nintendo Elite reward on your mantle, please read the next section carefully, and good luck!<\/p>\n If you live in North America<\/strong> and would like to enter for a chance to win one of my most prized Club Nintendo Elite rewards, please complete the follow steps:<\/p>\n
