They failed to relase limited edition stuff for outlandish prices!
Imagine this- A specail gaint Brawl tin with the box art of the game on the tin's cover. On the back, the contents are advertised:
5 inch plushies of every character in the game!
3 set CD of every song in the game!
A "making of" DVD
A character concept and art book
A limited edition exclusive brawl character- Geno! (beauty of this is that Nintendo has to pay royalties ONLY on the limited edition games)
A limited edition exclusive course
Advanced techniques, such as wavedashing, L cancelling, CCing, and foxtrotting available only in limited edition brawl! (old style of airdodge included)
Special limited edition brawl box- different box art on front, promo on back that says "limited edition"
They could easily sell that tin for $199.99 and at least 100,000 (may be up to 500,000) fans would lap it up. I know I would buy 2 (one to gouge people on ebay with later)
What do you think? Why didn't Nintendo do this? Too much work?
