Wii promotional inserts - any additional info?
« on: August 03, 2014, 07:27:25 am »
I am doing some kind of research about those "Wii" leaflets that were inserted alongside with manuals in many first-party games. I wasn't be able to track their changes during Wii lifespan because I had no Wii, so I have to do it post factum.
As far as I noticed, there is three kinds of Wii inserts, at least in PAL regions.
  • The first one has stock image of a white Wii and mention launch titles and "upcoming games" (interestingly, it mentions Project H.A.M.M.E.R). All copyrights are circa 2006, and I've found this leaflet in the launch-day edition of TLoZ: Twilight Princess (with red Nintendo logo), so I suppose it's the first edition of the leaflet. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#0
  • The second one has an image of a dude playing Wii and "P-RVL-EUR-1" code. Copyrights are 2006-2007, and the back cover has giant symbols of Wii Remote and Nunchuk. I've found it in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#2
  • The third one has images of white and black Wii, 2011 copyrights and "P-RVL-EUR-15" code. It was found in TLoZ: Skyward Sword. I think it's the last one, but I am not sure since I do not have any Wii games from 2012. http://imgur.com/a/JHHC0#4
Is there any other leaflets in PAL region that I missed? Is there some sort of list of games with these leaflets included? I often buy used games and I want to know that my copies have every single printed material.

      ======
      There's a different version of leaflets, with maybe 3 main ones, like you described above, but with different ads inside depending on the year of release of the game it comes with, hence the 12/13/14/15

      Yeah, I definitely overlooked that. I've collected a lot of information, thanks to all of you and people on NintendoLife forums, so I'm making a spreadsheet with all info that I know now. Of course I will post a link here - maybe it will come in handy.

      Okay, I made a spreadsheet and it seems that we have a lot of interesting data. There is, eventually, four main designs, the one I didn't mention is the one with a guy and a girl (P-RVL-EUR-7). Besides, we have two types of inserts that are identical to each other but have different codes and barcodes. Sadly there is a lot of missing data, but at least it's something.

      Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GoA8vOyVfYI2eOAGx2gPiU2XvQFRfDFv2fLU3QI2Q_w/edit?usp=sharing
