Title: Pikmin Memory Card??? Post by: singlebanana on October 30, 2012, 03:11:27 PM I picked up a copy of Pikmin (GC) yesterday from a local retail store and when I opened it, there was a memory card with a Pikmin sticker on it inside. Just curious, but did some of these games come with a special memory card, or was there a sticker in the materials that you could put on your card. Can't find any information about this anywhere.

Title: Re: Pikmin Memory Card??? Post by: Razor Knuckles on October 30, 2012, 03:19:27 PM I don't know much more than you do about the sticker variant memory cards. I bought the memory card used so I don't know if it originally came with the game. I thought someone just slapped a little sticker on it but since you mentioned it I guess they did come with the games.
Thats all I know. Title: Re: Pikmin Memory Card??? Post by: singlebanana on October 30, 2012, 03:22:26 PM Yeah, it seems odd that there are random Pikmin stickers out there. Not sure the title was that popular at release. Anyway, hopefully we can figure this mystery out. ;)

None of the current ebay auctions that show the pack-in materials have a sticker sheet. Could possibly have been a sticker from something like Nintendo Power though. I actually have the NP issue at home that features Pikmin, so I can check when I'm home this weekend.

Post by: singlebanana on October 30, 2012, 03:30:05 PM The sticker seems to be made for a memory card. There is a Pikmin figure and underneath it are a few lines so you can write on the card. I'll try and load a scan of it tonight.

Title: Re: Pikmin Memory Card??? Post by: techwizard on October 31, 2012, 12:05:50 AM the animal crossing one actually had in-game bonuses if you played the game with it. i don't remember everything, but i think it gave you 2 extra of the in-game emulated NES games
