Rare 1992 Nintendo Promotional CD: "Nintendo Sampler" (Canada Exclusive)

[Ocho-Six]

Hi everyone,


My name is Oliver, and I recently uploaded a very rare promotional CD titled “Nintendo Sampler”, released in 1992 in Canada as a collaboration between MCA Records Canada, Fidelity Electronics, and Nintendo of Canada.


This disc was not sold to the public and is almost completely undocumented online. It contains a few music tracks (in WMA format), and was likely used for in-store or event-based promotional purposes. What makes it even more interesting is that, when read on a computer, the CD identifies itself as “Nintendo Samole Sampler” — which I believe is a rare typographical error.


I’ve uploaded a working copy along with several reference photos here:

I’m currently researching its origin and distribution, and would appreciate any information, theories, or insights this community might have.


Additionally, a Spanish YouTuber made a video about it (in Spanish) titled "El misterio del Nintendo Sampler":



Any help, feedback, or preservation interest is very welcome. This feels like a great piece of lost media that deserves to be documented properly.


Thanks for your time,
Oliver (Ocho)
