It connects with 1, but that was still enough of a reason for me to add 2 to the list.

I'm reasonably confident in this being the NA list. Note that it doesn't include games that only use the infrared port or the printer (the latter of which technically use the cable). Marble Madness supports the cable on GB but not GBC. Pokémon Yellow has a nebulous status for reasons that are its own topic and has been officially treated as either GB or GBC at different times. I don't count it here.

You'd probably find no games in the last 20 years that meet that 100% standard, aside from maybe things on the scale of Jump Rope Challenge. Watch the credits of any game and you'll find other companies involved in some aspects even if Nintendo was the developer.

My dividing line is "does the front of the box look different when you glance at it from across the room?" This is the actual criteria I used for my NOA releases list, because I'm more interested in the way the same was sold.

Fair warning, there are some mistakes and omissions in this guide having to do with things like what walls are bombable. This is going from memory and it's possible later revisions fixed it.

Since it was mentioned that these aren't eShop downloads, are these initiated by doing something within the game or is it done over SpotPass (blue notifications)? If it's the former, chances are you'll be able to do this for as long as 3DS supports online play, which will continue beyond the eShop closure. If it's the latter, it's anyone's guess since that's handled game by game.

Trio the Punch, and while we're at it, Sonic the Fighters.

I'm sure that I saw something somewhere from the Lance Burr (the one who redesigned it) that corroborated the toy part, and at the time, it would definately look that way. I always had the impression the color scheme was meant to look classy. It fits the soundtrack of F-Zero and Pilotwings in a way.

I've played a New 3DS XL heavily since launch and that hasn't happened once. Today I tried holding it the way you described, but it made my hand pretty uncomfortable. I think the difference is because it's meant to be viewed more at a downwards angle the way I normally hold it, whereas in order to be keeping it where your pinky would be on the power button, it would have to be held more directly ahead of your face.

It might have been conflated with the similarly-titled How to Win at Super Mario Bros. Games (which itself is missing a word on this list).

The copyright date on the version with no game box is still 1992. While it's possible that it was released later, I'm inclined to think it wasn't too far off from the end of 1992 since the games featured on the side and on the included poster fit that time frame better.

I can never take a source seriously that doesn't put a space in Game Boy. But more to the point, they're probably good enough for strictly games, but should be avoided for things like hardware and accessories.

There were also figures included with some packages of Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver and Sun/Moon. As far as game bundle-exclusive amiibo figures go, there was also Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival.

I left arcade games out because everything here goes under what I see as the consumer products side of things, rather than things that were more designed to be in public places, which would also include stuff like store demo hardware and other items used during events. I'm still interested in the arcade games, but didn't really see them as part of the same side of Nintendo in the way all of these are. If I added just the arcade games continued to exclude those other things, it would be just for the sake of making the "game" list complete, which would be easy enough to do as its own thing. That said, the door is open for anyone to use this as a starting point for whatever list they'd want to compile themselves, as long as they link back to this.

I've been working on this step for ages, but I was finally able to compile the full list of products offered in Super Power Supplies along with a handful of other missing magazine-related bonus items. I've been wanting to do this all at once, so after narrowing them down to those that were more likely than not to be Nintendo-produced, I've expanded the criteria for what types of items are listed. Of course, if you have any information suggesting otherwise, don't hesitate to share. This project has now reached what I've always wanted to be its final form as far as scope is concerned, though updates will continue whenever new information comes along.

I found it! Pop'n TwinBee.

This probably isn't too unusual, since games with hard release dates were still the exception at the time and stores tended to start selling copies whenever they got them. Still a good indication of it being from the first run.

There's really never been a point that my identity wasn't entirely video games, and I'm just as likely to play games from one era as any other. More generations become classified as retro over time, and so how retro I appear to be also changes over time. But I don't count the retro label as part of my identity. I prefer to feel like time is an illusion and I perceive all points in time at once.

It gets a lot better when you try to imagine the train of thought that led to picking that name.

It's possible that I conflated details about the Funco person (maybe either Douglas Brown or Andy McNamara?) with those that were mentioned by Neil Levin of Play it Again, both of which are mentioned in this video. It also points towards a similar conclusion. Here's what the Lost Media Wiki has to say about it: "The first person contacted was Andy McNamara, who works at Game Informer and was a former employee of Funco. When contacted by Lost Media Wiki Forums user co, he stated that David Pomije, CEO of Funco, was the one to compile the mail-in order lists. Later on, the list was also complied with buyers. Andy also said that it was likely that the list was created by looking at games available on the market in the early days. The second person contacted was Neil Levin, one of the founders of Play it Again. Lost Media Wiki Forums user stintergalactic was able to reach out to him through LinkedIn. After this, a phone call interview was scheduled between the two of them. Neil said that the person who ran the company would often put in fake listings to catch people copying Play it Again. This was a common business practice, according to Neil. Through this contact, the theory that Yeah Yeah Beebiss I was a copyright trap is strengthened."

I got the Fire Emblem 30th Anniversary Set in store. Of course, the game itself was a download code, so if that doesn't count, then it would have been the Nintendo Labo VR Kit.

I can't find it, but I could swear I saw a video pretty recently where someone tracked down the person in charge of Funco listings at the time and they said it was definately the kind of thing their boss would have inserted as a paper trap.

No, I had no idea about the prize. I didn't buy the game at launch but it was a very long endeavor.
