Is there an old Nintendo 64 sitting around your house collecting dust? Do you own the games Mario Kart and GoldenEye 007? If so, Less Than Jake (http://www.lessthanjake.com) has a deal for you. The band is willing to trade guest list spots for this summer's Warped Tour, as well as a handful of merchandise, to get their hands on your products. If you're willing to make the trade, please e-mail Vinnie here (wunderlandwar@aol.com).

Haha, that's so rad. It shows that them being a pretty "big" pop punk band hasn't gotten to them.
But fuck, I sold mine. =[

hahahaha....

Mario Kart and Goldeneye for n64 are two of the best games ever created. Add Mario Party and Mario 3 for Nintendo to that list aswell.

Damn, I have an N64, but neither one of those games...

Well, I imagine they have alot of free time on Warped Tour, and especially while driving, so that should be your answer.

I don't see a problem with that. They'll make the trade with one, or maybe two people, and then they'll likely say "thanks, but the deal is over" to anyone who e-mails them after that.

First of all, Nintendo 64 systems aren't exactly in the front windows of any stores these days, and with being on Warped Tour and having to drive to a new city every single night, I would imagine they don't have much time to leave the venue and go shopping.

Secondly, how is that lame? They're offering guest list spots, as well as merch, for something you could pick up for like $15 all together in a used store now. I think that's a great deal.

No problem with that? Then why post it on Ap.net if it's only going to be subject to a couple of people? It's decieving to lead people on to such deals. That's fucking stupid.

Obviously you can't go out and buy them since they're 2 console generations behind (duh!)... but hey, there's always ebay:

Goldeneye for less than 5 dollars (with another game) http://cgi.ebay.com/2-NINTENDO-64-GAMES-GOLDENEYE-007-AND-WWF-ATTITUDE_W0QQitemZ330001587523QQihZ 014QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZView Item

Mariokart for under 5 dollars.

So what is the point of this whole thing if they can easily get it themselves on ebay and seeing that they'll only offer it to a few people. waste of a "news release" on this site.

They can't buy them on ebay right now for the same reasons they can't go out to a used game store and buy them. They're on the Warped Tour, and they clearly want these games to play and keep them busy while on the Warped Tour. So, enlighten me, how are they supposed to order them on ebay and have them shipped to them if they're in a completely different city every day? If they weren't out on tour, this request wouldn't of been made at all, but they are, so it was. Think about it.

Why did I make this news post? I don't care if this deal will involve a million people or one single person. If this offer can make a single person happy, than that makes me happy, and that one person will be happy I posted this. Also, let's not forget, Less Than Jake are one of the nicest, most appreciative bands I've ever met, so why not try to help them out a little bit on tour if it only involves making a single news post?

Lastly, wow - take it easy. I think you're getting a little worked up over this, or at least you would appear that way. But, this is the internet, so who knows, right?

I would imagine you would bring them to your Warped date - but, I'm not entirely sure, so e-mail Vinnie.

07/03/06, 09:24 AM

I have an N64 and both those games. +3 controllers. So i emailed vinnie. Not quite sure why though since Warped already passed my city... but i honestly never play that thing anymore regardless of the fact that those truly are two of the best games ever. Why let it sit in my closet collecting dust when somebody could be enjoying it.

Plus, they mentioned free merch. That's for me man. Hope he gets back to me.

I can appreciate your efforts on trying to make one person happy and that's completely cool.

I used to play that jurassic park game at a friends house... that was crazy as hell back in the day, then recently, I downloaded it (with tons of other ISOs and an emulator), played it and was like 'wow, this is the shittiest game ever'.

07/03/06, 10:16 AM

Hahaha I JUST happened to pick all of those up because I randomly got interested in playing them. I have no problem trading them for that spot on Warped AND free merch, especially when I can go get them again for about $40 Canadian at my local store.

Ryan Imhof

07/03/06, 10:20 AM

why are these people putting up an argument? hahahaha it just says to trade your 64 for a spot on warped.. if you want to do that, go for it. if not, thats cool too. I really don't see a problem here.. I actually laughed reading this thread. Thanks guys.

07/03/06, 10:26 AM

I swear to God, just about an hour ago I was sitting at this girl's house talking about Nintendo 64 and she told me her roommate has one and I asked if she had Goldeneye because I NEED to play it. That's so fucking weird.

I have been checking out older systems and games on ebay lately I guess to possibly relive the memories. As for the people bitching about the deal I dont get that. They want to play these games and are giving you more than enough to compensate for them.

I have both and would definitely be willing to perform some kind of trade. I don't need to be guest listed I think I will be already on The Early November guest list. Do you think I could get something else?
Who knows? I'd suggest shooting Vinnie an e-mail, though, and seeing if they can offer anything else.

you're a gigantic moron.
less than jake want mario kart and goldeneye, they don't really have a lot of options in ways to get them... they probably thought, hey wait a minute, kids like warped tour right, we have guest list spots right, we can also give them some free merch as an extra thank you so why don't we make some kid happy as well as get what we want, its more than a fair trade towards whoever gives them the games, a warped tour ticket is give or take $25... and merch is around $10 a piece, considering these games go for less than $5 to a used games place i'd say the kid is getting a deal.

if you can't understand that you're an idiot.

this isn't a waste of a news release either, sure one or two people may only end up with it... but that doesn't mean that only one or two people should know about it, because you have to tell a lot of people before you're going to find the willing person.

thats like saying they should take the underoath competition down because only a few people will get something

people like you piss me off, so fucking stupid.

What local store? I need to buy another n64 because mine isn't working anymore.

I picked it up in Brampton actually, Cardboard Memories has a lot of games and so does the Microplay in Square One. However, Microplay is ridiculously over priced. Cash Converters has quite a few (Buy 2, get 1 free) and I found a flee-market that has pretty much every N64 game near the Cash Converters in Brampton, it's called "Entertainment Experts"

sidenote: Me and 2 of my friends are having a summer long Mario Party 2 tourney. A manditory 35 turn game every Monday and Thursday with as many games as we can fit in between. We figure it's going to be over 1,000 turns of Mario Party 2 this summer. And everybody knows Mario Party 2 is the best Mario Party ever.

so why don't they go by the games and system themselves if it's so cheap? i'd rather hold onto those games than spend an afternoon with a shitty pop punk band and i guarantee there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way. it's lame because they could just have one of their roadies run to a gamestop or eb and pick this shit up, in any city in america.

Who knew that Less Than Jake and Nintendo 64 could stir up so much controversy!

I have everything they want, and Warped is still two weeks away - and as much as I love my N64 and those games, I never play them. Maybe once every year. But if I really want them back, I'll just eBay that shit and buy them back from someone else. Might as well see what my chances are...

apparently you've never known anyone on tour. getting mail on tour is pretty easy. a buddy of mine is guitar tech for the dropkick murphys, he had me send him some cds and stuff when they were on warped tour last year, it was easy. they know where they're staying for every leg of the tour, you just send it somewhere they're going to be in a couple of days and *shock* the hotel/venue holds it for them until they get there.
