Man, we actually miss the times when print magazines have been all the craze. Yes, name us outdated, we do not care!
There was one thing particular about choosing up the newest challenge of Nintendo Official Magazine (later succeeded by Official Nintendo Magazine, or ONM) and NGamer, particularly once they included bonus goodies that you simply could not discover elsewhere.
One such goodie was a curious pack of taking part in playing cards based mostly on the GameCube traditional, Super Smash Bros. Melee. These have been present in a difficulty of Official Nintendo Magazine and have been, on the time, one of many few ways in which Nintendo formally marketed its excessive profile brawler.
The playing cards are principally misplaced to historical past nowadays, and though you in all probability will not discover it too troublesome to supply a pack on eBay, Reddit consumer bonejangles could have saved you the effort by importing top quality photos of all playing cards contained within the pack.
It’s a facsinating take a look at how Melee was promoted again within the day, and a number of the character descriptions included on the playing cards are actually one thing. Asking across the Nintendo Life workplace, we’re fairly positive a number of of us had these exact same playing cards sooner or later, however our recollections are getting fairly hazy in our outdated age…
Regardless, if you happen to fancy a peek at a little bit of historical past, make sure to test it out!
