Having been able to secure a pin set, I am feeling pretty grateful as a big Nintendo/Mario fan but also acknowledge the big picture that this is a piece of unnecessary nonsense that I will just display as a collectible in my office. I’m feeling very fortunate but many others must be feeling really chapped and burned right now. I love Nintendo but they sure do put that love to the test.
Thankfully I had ordered from Nintendo Store before so my address and credit card payment were saved, which was one less hoop to jump through.
SUPER MARIO BROS 35TH ANNIVERSARY PINS CODE
The code did not guarantee you anything unless you fully finished the check out process. I kept telling myself, “don’t worry, since you got the code you are guaranteed to get the pin set once the website starts working again” but from the sound of everyone’s experiences, that was definitely not the case. The Nintendo Store completely popped the bed under the weight of all the traffic. Once I got my code, however, it took me another 2.5 hours of fighting with the cart/check out process to pay for shipping and get an order number. I happened to be home and in front of my computer so I was one of the folks who checked about 20 min before official “live” time and was able to get my code. Sadly, it appears scalpers are already reselling the pins for prices that are most-definitely well above their value while some people have seemingly missed out altogether. What are we even doing here?- ??Super Nintendo Chalmers?? September 22, 2020 From here, a lot of Nintendo fans took to social media to vent their frustration: Classic Nintendo. Other users said they had received a code for the pin set, but were then informed by the website it was no longer available. When the pins went live (which mind you, caught many fans by surprise), the My Nintendo website in North America, in particular, was overloaded - with users encountering the following error: Was just trying to checkout with the Mario pin set when this happened.
Nintendo recently ran its first wave, and according to multiple comments on websites like Reddit, there have been technical issues (resulting in some serious waiting times). Obviously, it's a limited supply thing and well, that's caused some drama. The second Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary pin set will be available through My Nintendo after that for people who buy the game and complete 14 other missions.During the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct earlier this month, Nintendo announced a special Mario pin set would be made available on My Nintendo in the US and Canada. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury will come to the Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2021. (If it goes like it did the last time, you will need to pay the shipping costs.) Your set will include six pins, which feature a group 35th anniversary shot and images of Mario from New Super Mario Bros U, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Odyssey, and Super Mario Sunshine. The only required one is “Purchase the Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury game.” The other 14 can be any of the other tasks on the mission page, like “Try the Super Mario Music Player” or “Visit the official Super Mario website.” (This also means if you were keeping up and completing missions for the previous set of pins, you might already be close to being done.)Īfter Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is released, people will be able to get a code to use at the Nintendo Store for the pins. The second Super Mario Bros pin set missions require you to complete 15 tasks on the Super Mario My Nintendo page. Now, it turns out there will be a second Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary pin set people can get by buying the Super Mario 3D World Switch port and completing My Nintendo missions.
