[GaijinPunch]

Well, not up for grabs per se.
Haven't seen this posted anywhere else, so...

anyways, i would love to have a complete Famicom edition gba sp signed by miyamoto. it would easily become my prized pocession and sit in a glass display case for friends and family to drool over :D

[HellStar]

Thats awesome!

They will go for a pretty penny on ebay! LOL

[MarioAllStar2600]

He has an insane signature!!!! LOL

[Gnarkill]

*drools*

[tholly]

That would be an amazing prize to win. Even though, I won't even try because I am not about to attempt to translate Japanese and I really don't have the dedication to do more than type in my name and e-mail address to try and win something.

This reminds me of what I read on GameScience (http://www.gamescience.com) a couple of days ago..

"Bandai announced yesterday that total sales for games in the Gundam series have now exceeded 20 million. From the first Gundam game "Mobile Suit Z Gundam Hot Scramble" on the Famicom (19 February 1986) to the latest game "SD Gundam G Generation Seed" on the PS2 (19 February 2004), there have been 117 titles in the series.

This month sees the first Gamecube outing for Gundam, with the release of "Gundam: Senshitachi no kiseki" on the 18th. To mark the release, Bandai are offering a Famicom Mini (GBA) version of the very first Gundam game, to selected participants in a prize draw. There are no plans to release the Famicom Mini version to the general public, so this prize is sure to be a highly sought after collector's item."

If they don't release that game, it will be a very nice item, especially in Gundam-crazed Japan. :)

Did someone say "Miyamoto's signature"? :D

Yes, that's my copy of the Japanese OoT bonus disc personally signed by the man himself...

[Cmosfm]

nice!

Personally I'd just like to have a Famicom GB SP. Sig or not, I'd be happy with just the system. The packaging is SOOOOO COOL!!!! If they released an NES style one over here you can bet it wouldnt have nearly as cool of a box. It'd probably just be the system on from and the words "retro edition" or something stupid like that.

Nintendo Of America sucks. :(

[GaijinPunch]

Cool OOT disc... wonder why the sigs look so different though?

Considering there's only 10 of them, I'm sure they'll be quite a hot item, although signed stuff is only valuable to those that will pay for it. In the case of Nintendo, that could mean a lot.

I made another post abou that Gundam Famicom Minigame coming out, but seems like every other gameshop in the hosue beat me to it. Surprised nobody reported the signed Famicom ones though. (fingers crossed)

That's really nice. I would love to have something like that as part of my collection.

that's a pretty badass signature...the only consolation I have is a copy of sonic heroes signed by Yuji Naka.

[pango]

seriously though, of all games they could have put in the famicom mini line-up, why did they put mappy in it?

[Jasoco]

Sadly, I gave up going after the Famicom and just got a Flame SP for $80.

But I did order SMB from Lik-Sang.

I'd love anything signed by Miyamoto. But of course, it'll never be in my posession. Unless I fly over to Japan and force him to sign my Flame SP. LOL

[Mayhem]

The signature on my OoT disc is his "standard" way of signing things. Perhaps he is mixing it up with some "unique" tags for the SPs? :)

Best sight I've had? Taking a picture of him signing someone's Donkey Kong marquee. I don't think he expected to see that! LOL

Now you must post it!

Imagine if he turned up at Classic Gaming Expo this year and you could get anything you wanted signed by him. Wouldn't THAT be cool!

That would be the day I didn't bring anything worth signing.

I'm still kicking myself for not having getting Steve Jobs, who was standing 10 feet away, sign my PowerBook Duo 2300c. I had it in my backpack at the MacWorld NY 2001 expo. (Two months before 9/11) I watched person after person walk up to him and shake his hand. Didn't see anyone get anything signed, and I didn't have a marker, but would have loved to shake his hand.. But I froze and stood there casually not trying to make eye contact (And failing) and the one second I turned away, he disappeared. Him and the two women he was with. And one was wearing bright pink.. how could I not find that in a crowd??

[Kicks self harder]

Steve Jobs and Shigeru Miyamoto.. two people I'd love to have sign my stuff.

:drool: X_x @_@ O_O

Please don't toy with me and my dreams... do you think you could get him to come? PLEEEEEEEZE!!!

Is this another suprise. Like Nolan Bushnell, I am imagining this guy would be a tad bit harder to get considering he doesn't live here. I would hug you forever Joe, err I mean 'it would be cool to have a brewsky after that one as my kind of manly thanks' *says in manly deep voice*

Now you must post it!

I'll find where I stuffed the few pics I took of his visit to the UK last February and put them back up. It was chaos really, and despite queueing for 3 hours, almost didn't get in there to have something signed.

When it's his first ever "official" appearance and promotional trip in the West, and he picks London to come to, you know something must be special and you had to make sure you were there ;)

[GaijinPunch]

Queued for 3 hours?!
Wow! Your deserved to have more than a few things signed.

You know, I'd probbaly go que for a few people, but they don't really do that stuff that often here... at least not that I know of.

[Mayhem]

Couldn't find the pics last night, but I'm sure I've got them somewhere... I've just forgotten what I called them!

As for the visit, well I was the last person of our group to get to the Virgin store at just after 11am. Miyamoto was due to start signing at 1pm if I recall. Anyhow the first of our group got there around 10:30am and I'd say there were 300-400 people ahead of him when he started to queue. By the time I got there, I'd say there was at least that number again behind us.

Quite soon after Miyamoto-san appeared and the signing began, people realised to get as many people through as possible, they had to limit signings to one item. The first 20-30 people got lucky and had 2 or 3 items done, plus the first 10 also received free copies of 4 Swords GBA signed by Miyamoto. Those 10 had camped outside Virgin the night before to make sure to be first in line. It was rather cold that night, so I think they deserved it!

3 hours was way under estimating here actually now I think about it. I don't think we got to the table to have our stuff signed until at least 2:45pm, and the signing session was due to end at 3pm. In the end apparently they elongated it until about 4pm, but there were still plenty of people who missed out. One of our group had brought a Donkey Kong marquee from a mate of his, and his own stuff, but with the one item rule, he sacrificed his own items to get the DK header done. I'm certain I saw Miyamoto smile when he put that on the table :)
