The low-key swag of the Nintendo Media Summit
Free stuff is one of the many reasons we wish we had gotten to go to the Nintendo Media Summit. Like most industry events, those in the press who were lucky enough to attend also walked out with swag.
Game|Life's Chris Kohler took this picture of his bounty: not an epic E3-sized haul by any means, but it includes some exclusive items, like the giant Wii bottle (he already covered the joke) and the light-up Wiimote keychain. Attendees also got a free Wii Points card and a Wendy's giftcard, so they can download Blazing Lazers and live Burgertime. By which we mean "eat burgers," not "assemble giant burgers by walking on them while avoiding animated food."

Giant Wii Bottle
I think I'd rather think twice before going outside with a giant bottle reading wii, regardless of its contents.
Heh, "It's just like they're asking for the jokes"
But that's cool swag. Now, if I only had a wii...

Pretty cool, the bottle is ridiculous. I want the keychain though!

What could you put in a bottle like that, I wonder? Reminds me of a sky vodka bottle.
The swag factor of any media event varies. Back when I did some work with the small-time gaming press, I realized this idea that people are throwing free stuff at you at E3 and the like is bull. You have to figure out whether you're going to go and play all the games that you're supposed to be covering or if you're going to stand in line for 3 hours for an inflatable sword. That sort of thing.
