You can still buy it new, just not at the corner store. http://shop.lomography.com/us/films/110-filmOriginally Posted by Koa Zo
There was a Mario 64 Nintendo 110 format film camera on eBay not too long ago. I wanted to buy it except for the problem of 110 film being obsolete.
Whaddya mean invalid parameters?!
9,000 gigs of ram and it still can't answer a simple question!
Wow B&W even!
Thanks for that link
He's an idiot. I've seen a couple different (not this one) N64 calculators before, they were more multi colored for a non-adult type group. I've held a few N64 film cameras as well at a goodwill before. Nintendo in the US did a lot of merchandising of that N logo onto a lot of unrelated weird junk in the 90s.
lol. promo junk. companies put their name on all kinds of stupid junk for years. I've had mousepads, pens, pads, calculator, erasers, stress balls, beer cozies... you name it. That crap used to go all over the place at E3 (before it exploded to what it is today), CES, hell even gamestop used to get promo stuff like this. And thats just the free promo crap. Nintendo was huge into this stuff, actually Sony was too, in the 90s. I am pretty sure I have a sega branded magnifying glass (wtf?) somewhere.
As for cameras, alarm clocks, shower curtains etc, that was the good ol late 80s and early 90s when kids were still the target audience of games. Merchandising was critical in making money. It was like cartoons, you create toys and merchandise around it then market the show to kids and watch the money roll it.
Both trends have really seemed to die down in the last decade or so. I remember lots of promo Gamecube junk but that was the last of it. Same goes for retail merchandising. Guess the industry just grew up.
as for that calculator, Rare? Definitely. Valuable? Not by a long shot.
