so would have a Nintendo rep toured with this package? I'd love to find out the backstory.
When I worked in the Video Game Retail side, Nintendo reps would come around and put up Nintendo swag on up coming releases and also they would swap out Kiosk carts for newer games that were either being released soon or going to be with in a month or so.
After the games would be released the rep would come back to swap out old swag for new and same with the Kiosk games. What I would say this set was, was a rep who worked in the retail big name retail chains. They would eather send the games back to NOA here in WA or field destroy them or just "field destroy into their collections". Sometimes they were allowed to keep the games and other swag promo items.
