Nice: Club Nintendo's handheld system collectible cards photo

I want these Club Nintendo Handheld System collectible cards. They cover the 30-year history of Nintendo handhelds, from the Game & Watch units all the way up to today's 3DS.

There's 12 cards in all, featuring hand-drawn art and history info. They come in a pouch featuring system art, too. 

You'll need 300 Coins to nab this new item. Hey, I've got that much!

Looking at these has me thinking back to my favorite handhelds from Nintendo. I still love the Micro, and I had mad love for my Timex Indigo-lit Game Boy Pocket.

Not to mention it should cover everything they have made console wise.

Pass. Still saving for that Ball Game & Watch and I think I'm only 200 coins away.

I'm holding my coins for a Nintendo Club 2nd Circle Pad for the 3DS.


Because that would be a neat way to get Nintendo Club Members.

Um, if I get all the cards at once, how are they "collectible"?

@Jordan Mann1: Nope! Virtual Boy may be portable (well, that's debatable), but it is certainly no handheld. I mean, just look at the thing. It sits on two legs!

Ordered these when I heard about it on Tiny Cartridge, got an email this morning that they've just been shipped.

I love these, I usually have a tough time deciding what to spend my coins on, but this was a no-brainer. This is a perfect tribute towards my love of handheld gaming.

Playing Drill Dozer on the Micro was a great experience. What an overlooked game.....

Interesting. Apparently the Virtual Boy doesn't count.

I'm sitting on almost 2000 points,the only things I've gotten are the LoZ Poster Set and the 3DS pouch,I wish NoA would hook us up with that sweet Golden Link and Epona statue that NoE had a few years back or any of the sexy shit the Japanese Club Nintendo gets (SMG soundtrack,Super Famicom Clasic Controller),I would get them in a heartbeat.

I think the virtual boy doesn't count because it wasn't really something you walked around with, it was more something you left at home. The virtual boy is kind of like a hybrid between a portable and a console. Also if they added the virtual boy that would be 13 systems, and that would mess up the symmetry they have in the rows and columns for the design on the side of the holder.

It is kind of a bummer it's missing though, it would have been the most interesting to read about.

Awesome! I just HAD to use my points for this! Previously I used my points for a life sized AR card. :P This is better.

Why would you want this? It could be a poster and get the same job done... instead it's multiple pieces of paper that you'll read once or twice and never look at again..

@KuebelR33: On the other hand, you could stick them on the wall in a rectangular pattern and turn it into a cool poster. Or several posters, even, in an irregular pattern. I might just do that!

I see they didn't include the Game Boy Light. Oh well, it WAS a Japan exclusive system. Sucks there's no Virtual Boy either. (Hugs functional Virtual Boy on shelf)

@OrangeArmy: Hear hear! I'm still waiting for them to add some actual utilitarian items instead of posters, folders and card sets...
