cool calendar

Nintendo ran a Famicom 20th anniversary campaign in Japan over the summer where people who bought select games could send in these special proof of purchase seals to get a chance to win some prizes (including that killer Famicom version GBA SP). If you attached two seals to one entry, they sent you a Famicom calendar as a special gift. I figured this was gonna be some dinky little desk calendar, but it's actually a huge wall calendar with some great images! I took quick pics of all the months (they're too big to scan), so if you want to see, click on the links below the image.

This is probably the sort of thing you can come to expect from the new Club Nintendo service. Pretty cool if you ask me...
