It’s truly a Christmas miracle! A few new physical rewards were added to the North American Club Nintendo website today, and you could argue that they’re all quite good. They’re better than the typical posters at least!

For 700 coins, you can order the NES Remix 2 t-shirt. There are also two 3DS Game Card Cases – one based on Zelda (returning), and another featuring Pikmin / Super Mario Bros (new).

You can check out the latest Club Nintendo rewards here.

Part of the appeal of Super Smash Bros. to me is the history behind it all. With their large cast of characters, range of collectibles and obscure music picks, I always seem to be discovering new games with each installment. The original game introduced me to Earthbound, while Melee first brought Fire Emblem to my attention. This new Smash Bros.’ cast of newcomers are largely from games released in the last few years, but what I find interesting how Namco-Bandai’s involvement in development resulted in Namco’s history finding a way into the game.

Pac-Man is one of my favourite characters to play as in the new Super Smash Bros. and it’s partially due to his “Namco Roulette” taunt. This taunt involves Pac-Man summoning a bunch of old Namco sprites from the company’s golden age for a quick cameo, but there’s no trophies or anything to give context to these characters. With that in mind, let’s look at all these Namco icons as we take either a trip down memory lane. Namco have a legacy of creating incredible arcade titles that still persists to this day –I’ve been hooked on Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost lately- and it’s great to see it represented in Smash Bros. in some form. So let’s start by traveling thirty-five years back in time…

Tomorrow’s Discussing Everything will take place at 4:30 PM ET / 1:30 PM PT. Bumping the event back a half hour seemed to work well enough last week, so we’re doing the same thing this week!

As far as what we’ll be talking about, there was a surprising amount of news over the past few days. The most interesting things were found through new interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto. We’ll discuss the important bits he shared and probably a few other topics as well.
