A new set of awesome-looking postcards are available for My Nintendo members and they really tickle the nostalgic part of my brain. Dubbed the “Classic Games Postcard Set,” this latest addition to Nintendo’s rewards program is fashioned after old-school game boxes from the N64, Game Boy, and Game Boy Advance generations. Going for a measly 450 Platinum Points, buyers will be able to have recreations of Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Metroid Fusion among others.
Strangely, no sizes are listed for these postcards, but the N64 boxes seem to be standard-size (which is 4”x6”). The Game Boy ones are square, so likely 4”x4” or some approximation. I doubt Nintendo would do full-size recreations of the boxes as postcards, but either way, I kind of want these. I was such a spoiled kid that I owned every one of these games back in the day, so it would be really cool to have a memento of my childhood framed on the wall.
You can grab these over on the My Nintendo website by signing into your Nintendo Account – the same one you use on your Switch – and redeeming your Platinum Points. Platinum Points are what you get for simply playing games on Switch and for completing various tasks in Nintendo’s mobile games. 450 is a minimal amount to reach, so it shouldn’t take a long time if you’re starting from scratch.
