On the eve of one of the most frustrating Nintendo release days of my adult life.. I figure I'd get into the spirit of things and ask what was yer favorite pre-order bonus of all time?

Personally, the one preorder bonus I went nuts for Ho-oh and Lugia figures on heartgold and soulsilver.

But there was also Harvest Moon SI/AP that had:

Also what was the strangest preorder bonus iyo?

Resident Evil 5's snow globe tops my list.

I don't usually buy games on release day, with the exception of Harvest Moon usually. So the only pre-order bonuses I've ever gotten were the HM dog from a long time ago (I was just a kid, I didn't even pre-order, somebody at Wal-Mart just gave me one randomly when I bought the game aha).

& the yak plushie that came with ANB (which I pre-ordered at EB Games)

The original HM dog is pretty nostalgic for me, so I'd say that's my favourite, but they're both adorable.

I think harvest moon had some of the best preorder bonuses; lost valley's has some really cute editions. I wish I could get the rabbit from the collectors edition(I believe) but maybe one day it'll just land in my possession. I really like HM plushies.

Also that's incredible you have that dog and especially the way you got it lol I saw him going on eBay for a good amount so I'm pretty sure I'm sol on obtaining him O: now we just need someone who has the cow
 
Preorder Donkey Kong for the N64 for Christmas for my family. Picked it up and got the cool plush toy that came with the deal.
She stopped me when I was leaving and gave me extra ones. Said that each child should get one.

Preorder City Folks and got a nice bonus $20 gift card to the store. Nice surprise.
 
Since I never really pre-order things/get the pre-order bonuses, the best thing was the Skyward Sword costume set download code with my Hyrule Warriors game.

I never got to preorder City Folk because I was told they couldn't take anymore orders. I would've loved to get a $20 gift card lolz

I always enjoyed the Lightning Returns pre-order dlc of Cloud's costume. I know it's kinda a cheap gimmick, but Lightning looks so good in Shinra infantry uniforms lolz
 
LIGHTNING'S COSTUMES IN LIGHTNING RETURNS
i also enjoyed the artbooks in Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD
 
I remember the figures for HG/SS; got the Ho-oh one even though I didn't preorder lol.
 
My favorite one was not a Nintendo one, but it was for Gran Turismo 6. The pre-order came with a car USB worth about $25 and some DLC so I somewhat got 50 off for pre-ordering.
 
I rarely ever preorder games, so I often don't get the nice bonuses...I've gotten a lot of bonus content regardless though since shops always have more than enough to just 'give away'.


Most recently I got the pre-order edition of 'Kingdom Hearts 1.5 remix'. The artbook was nice and the packaging was also pretty neat. Same with Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD. The artbook was nice, but the box was kind of cheap feeling since it was just a box with Tidus and Yuna on the front...Nothing special.

A lot of stuff has been download codes for DLC though recently, since developers seem to think that my country doesn't deserve anything nicer...And Nintendo usually ignores my country entirely.



When I was younger I bought 'Ultimate Spider-man' for the PS2. I didn't pre-order it, but they gave me the pre-order bonus anyway which was a super big 'xxxl' T-shirt (which is still way too big for me 10+ years later) and a Spiderman coffee mug.
I would say that the coffee mug is pretty strange.
 
I really love the pre-order figures you got with Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver. I'm kind of sad they don't do that anymore. I mean the posters are pretty but I like figures.
 
I don't think I've ever gotten pre order physical items, but I do enjoy the in game weapons and armor packs often provided for pre orders. I've had plenty of special edition physical items though.

For the double sided Gamestop poster... The artwork was pretty solid, just wished it was bigger.

And of course the Toys R Us preorder if you got both games came with one of these. <3

Outside of Nintendo and more into the realm of bundles and collector's editions... I remember people preordered CoD Modern Warfare 2's Prestige Edition because it came with it's own set of night vision goggles.
