I went to a goodwill today, and I found a nintendo 64 radio. seemed like a normal radio, but had the 3D N logo(N64 logo) and nintendo 64 at the bottom. It looked like a sticker, so i tried to peel it off, but it was part of the clock. there is no other sign, not even in the copywrite. has anybody seen these before?

Not clocks, but Nintendo licensed the logo to just about anything companies wanted to cobrand. So, you'll see watches, radios, and who knows what else too.

I seen their logo on a 35mm camera, got a gas credit card statement in the mail, there was a camera offer they were pitching....did'nt seem like a quality product...but it had the N64 logo on it!!! Seen one in a local thrift just the other day...My suspicions were correct...EL CHEAPO!!
I do try to snag anything in the advertising of any game system/product type stuff...you know posters, pins, the stuff they give away for free...whats the general term for this type of stuff? :roll:
I did finda cool salesman type pin...it pictures all the color N64 units and has a flashing LED you can turn on or off. Stuff like this is cool to find when nothing can be found otherwise!! :o The Keeper

They also made Mario gloves, which were very stupid, but also quite cool. They float around on eBay once in a while and never get bought.

I believe the correct term is swag (sometimes spelled schwag), pronounced shwag. You can buy the licensed crapola, but the watches, flashlights, yoyos, knick-knacks and whatnots are for the most part produced by nintendo to be given away for brand awareness. otherwise, the stuff you see on store shelves like gameboy candy and mario clocks is just called a licensed product.

yeah, i expected it to be another crapola product that nintendo would stick their logo on to make some spare scratch.
