Mail-ordering Nintendo memories: Super Mario Stamps, Animal Crossing Wild World K.K. Slider music

(tags game, goods, collector, Super Mario Bros, Animal Crossing Wild World)

Pictured last time along side with the Sudoku was that Super Mario Bros. commemoration stamp set order form. (licensed by Visions Inc.) I learned about it when visiting the post office, but just the day after that, Kotaku had the scoop. I almost forgot to order this, but luckily I remembered the last week it was available. I can't believe that one set goes for 3150 yen + 500 yen S&H. Expensive for just 10 stamps (800 yen) and collectable folder. It will get here the first week of June.

Speaking of mail ordering, the magazine publisher Enterbrain is selling a 2 disc Animal Crossing Wild World (おいでよどうぶつの森) "K.K. Slider music" (とたけけミュージック) soundtrack. You have to buy one of their magazines, DS + Cube + Advance, Weekly Famitsu, or Famitsu Wave (any released between 2006-05-20 through 2006-06-23), cut out the postcard form, paste it to a standard postcard and send it off, and pay for it when it comes around the beginning of August. Deadline is 2006-06-30.

According to the page, it is the same as the previously released CD soundtracks for the Nintendo 64 version of Animal Crossing (CD 1, 2) back in 2001, and is exactly the same as the music you hear at The Roost (ハトの巣) live bar. Yeah, rip, mix and listen on the music player. This has questional value, though. I rarely hear these songs, and the ones I have aren't memorable.
