NWC Press Photos, and some World Class Service Merchandise/Equipment

Penguin · May 2011

Thought I would post a couple cool things I've picked up over the past few months. First off we have some original Press Photos for advertising the Nintendo World Championships, these are date stamped April 4th 1990, and were sent to the Detroit Free Press. Pretty cool items, as you can see there is some info on the back, the Racoon Marioahs some clippings of some of the articles the photo was used in. Up next we have some service center new parts, a really sweet looking Nintendo Pamphlet holder, made of lexan, it can be folded up to stand like it is, or hung on a wall from the back. Also about 100 or so pamphlets from the service center, they are all the same. From what Otto has told me these were the last revision ones that were used before the centers were closed down, dated 2000 on the pamphlets. Theres a couple misc parts, 2 new NES button housings, some gameboy bezels, a full pad of Nintendo official part order forms, 50 new bags for systems that were repaired, and 50 smaller bags. Along with a roll of repair stickers that were used to seal the bags. Some orange repair stickers, a new pack, bunch of UPC's which appear to be for Gameboys. I know some of you may be thinking "why is this guy crazy buying pieces of plastic and paper?" Well as some of you may or may not know, I plan to re-create a Nintendo Service Center from the ground up, and have it as a sort of display corner. Going great so far, I have most of the test equipment and signs so far, missing a few binders and things, but hopefully in the coming months that will change. Thanks for looking at my madness! haha.

Oh another thing I forgot to mention, if you read the article on the Sony and Nintendo hook up, it talks about when Sony was developing the Play Station with Nintendo, pretty nifty. Just think how different things would be now if Sony and Nintendo had stayed together.
