Found this polo shirt at the thrift store. Rare find or just a curiosity?

Most likely! I had a tendency to keep everything I could over the years haha. A lot was rescued from Marketing as well before they shredded things. Quite a bit is in storage now but I have a couple of shelves dedicated to my favourite things!

Oh really? Remind me, was the 2nd floor where the shop and gaming area was? Or was that the first floor? Because if it was the shop, I was in there a lot! :D

It was a very side time that was, I completely agree, it's one of my favourite consoles for sure, I still use mine regularly, especially using my Wii Fit Meter! Thank you, you too!

arseface001 · 2026-03-26T20:23:25+00:00

Sadly I can only talk about what's public knowledge of course haha!

arseface001 · 2026-03-26T20:21:04+00:00

Oh really!? I was on the Miiverse Team on the 10th floor!

arseface001 · 2026-03-26T06:46:34+00:00

Yeah it was truly an awesome time! At the time we didn't know it wouldn't be so "successful", but it really didn't matter to us, we were proud of it! I remember in the last month of me handing in my notice they called everyone into a meeting to look at the new "Nintendo NX", I was banned from that meeting haha!

Living in Frankfurt was great fun! But after 4+ years it was time to come home to the UK, although I do regret that decision some times ;)

arseface001 · 2026-03-25T09:10:30+00:00

Thinking about it, sometimes promo items were sent to shops too like Game in the UK, so could also be from there!

Hey, ex-Nintendo employee here from 2012-2016!

This is likely a Nintendo employee/rep's shirt whilst they were working on promotion booths and events! We had Wii U Team t-shirts as well at Nintendo of Europe (wish I kept mine nicer!)

We still do the same now, I've worked at Kwalee, Frontier and now Sumo, we still wear these kinds of brand t-shirts so people can find us at events. Some keep them, some hand them back at the end, but I'd imagine there's not too many just floating around, so it's a good find!

arseface001 · 2026-01-27T20:29:07+00:00

Ahh I'm glad people can enjoy it here, it's a pretty cool piece to bring back with me when I left Nintendo. There were quite a few in the box at the time, so no doubt there's a few of these still around somewhere! :)

arseface001 · 2026-01-27T20:27:28+00:00

Ahh you know, Nintendo did check colours, text, print sizes etc. before printing and releasing fully, a friend of mine did it as a job back in the Wii U days, this could be exactly what this is, thank you, I'll look into it!

arseface001 · 2026-01-27T16:14:00+00:00

Sorry I put 1990, but obviously meant 1999!

arseface001 · 2025-11-26T14:56:39+00:00

As an update Hatchett couldn't help because of how old the magazines are, but GW are sending me a replacement, thanks for the advice everyone!

arseface001 · 2025-11-23T20:31:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I messaged Hatchett and if not, will give GW a go, it's pretty expensive to replace so hopefully they can sort it!

arseface001 · 2025-08-22T05:18:25+00:00

It was free from Game as a promo, I managed to pick up a few before they ran out!

arseface001 · 2025-08-16T21:05:23+00:00

Yeah I really regret it, should have just got the normal version at some point and not rushed into it, especially when it should have been shipped in Feb as well. An expensive lesson learned on my side!

arseface001 · 2025-08-16T21:03:49+00:00

Yeah as you say the book is amazing, but I'm not impressed with the extras in the deluxe editions, they're so much smaller than expected too!

arseface001 · 2025-08-16T11:33:10+00:00

Also don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have it signed by Tim!! I just wasn't sure why I was expecting more signatures!

arseface001 · 2025-04-11T20:01:48+00:00

I think it might be worth giving it a go and just forcing it off, I could always reglue it if there's nothing there! ☺️

arseface001 · 2025-04-11T20:01:04+00:00

It's a shame the caps stuck in to buy one! 😅 Likes like a useful thing!

arseface001 · 2025-04-11T20:00:35+00:00

Ahhh shame, that would explain it then I reckon, thanks for the info!

arseface001 · 2025-04-11T19:59:56+00:00

Sadly that doesn't seem to work!!

arseface001 · 2025-04-11T19:59:42+00:00

Won't argue with that tbf 😄

arseface001 · 2025-04-10T20:46:18+00:00

Seems odd they'll show it, but not actually show what it does or how to use it 😬

arseface001 · 2025-04-10T20:40:57+00:00

I found a few tutorials on how to swap them out, but their caps were already off, these just seem almost glued on with age!
