The Game & Watch Collection is a popular catalog item for Club Nintendo, but this year’s gift for Japanese gamers who reach Platinum status takes the Game & Watch nostalgia even further. It’s a real Game & Watch.
Nintendo is producing a new run of the classic handheld Ball, specifically to give away to Club Nintendo members who accrued 400 points or more in the last year. It’s a replica of the original, with a Club Nintendo logo added. Like the other Platinum awards, this doesn’t cost any points (so Platinum members can still buy Wii de Ultrahand), and will be sent out to everyone who qualifies.
As usual, gold members get a calendar.

We’re enjoying our DS game cases , and our other DS game cases, and all, but we can’t help but be a bit jealous at the latest gift available for Japanese Club Nintendo users. Wii de Ultra Hand is an exclusive Wii game based on the classic extendable grabbing toy — specifically, Nintendo’s own version, designed by Gunpei Yokoi and released in 1967.
The game uses the Wiimote and Nunchuk to simulate the handles of the Ultra Hand, and tasks players with picking up meat from grills and depositing it on plates. It’s available today for just 50 Club Nintendo points, one third the cost of a Wiimote stand.

Several Joysitq staffers were pleased to discover that the 2009 Club Nintendo rewards have begun to arrive today. For those that need a reminder of
what the gifts are, Platinum members got to choose between a
real life Mario hat or a download of
Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!!, a special version of
Punch-Out!! featuring Little Mac’s trainer, Doc Louis. Meanwhile, Gold members were limited to one gift, a 2010 Nintendo calendar. Check out the gallery below for images of all the different gifts.

Some Nintendo fans are disappointed in America’s Club Nintendo initiative. In spite of giving away free swag the company is completely not required to do, many found this year’s Elite bonuses (a hat and calendar) a bit lackluster. Perhaps a new bonus, “exclusive” to Club Nintendo members will cheer the naysayers.
Nintendo’s Denise Kaigler teased IGN readers with this cryptic message: “Keep your eyes on the Club Nintendo Web site in September. That’s when we will offer members some exclusive Nintendo artwork.” To make the offer even more enticing, she emphasizes how super-secret it is. “For the reason I mentioned earlier, I can’t say any more than that right now – it’s a secret to everybody.”
Perhaps Club Nintendo members will be able to get a super-exclusive sneak peak at the next Zelda game? Probably not — but your theories are certainly welcome!

A few lucky Japanese WiiWare shoppers who pick up the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games next week will get limited-edition gifts from Club Nintendo. Fifty people who buy at least two of the three WiiWare roguelikes will get this pop-up book thing, which is, honestly, not that exciting of a pop-up. It’s basically a paper dome. Two hundred people who purchase just one of the games will randomly be drawn to win a Wiimote/DS strap featuring artwork from the game they purchased.
Meanwhile, Nintendo of America has indicated no plans to release the games, and it won’t indicate any such plans until they magically appear on the Wii Shop. Don’t expect any promotions like this, or, really, any promotion at all.

Nintendo of Japan just updated its Club Nintendo rewards shop with a bunch of new exclusive items that will no doubt have you crying into your canvas Wiimote storage box. The most eye-catching new item is the 350-Coin Kirby flying disc, which looks just like a flat Kirby made out of nylon.
Other new items include Zelda posters, a Mario & Luigi 3 soundtrack (which is discounted for those who purchased the game), pencil cases, and a very cute set of Animal Crossing magnet clips. We can’t help but think that no matter how sad we are over our inability to obtain the Kirby frisbee, we’re going to weep openly when Japan’s Platinum and Gold rewards are unveiled.

Nintendo loyalists that have been diligently registering their games can now pick up a reward through the Club Nintendo loyalty program. Those who have earned 300 or more Coins (equivalent to 6 Wii game purchases) are granted Gold status, while those who have earned 600 or more Coins are granted Platinum status. These members are now entitled to an exclusive members-only bonus.
Platinum members have the choice of two prizes:
- Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!! — this downloadable WiiWare game is available exclusively to Club Nintendo Platinum members. In this special download, you’ll be able to fight one-on-one against your coach, Doc Louis. Update: Screenshots now added.
- Mario Hat — a “true-to-life” replica of Mario’s signature headpiece. Nintendo notes that the hat “may be big for small children.”
Gold members will receive a special 2010 calendar. See more images after the break.

If you’ve been having a tough time accruing enough coins in Club Nintendo to get your very own copy of Game & Watch Collection for DS, know that Nintendo is planning to parcel out nine different Game & Watch classics to DSiWare in Japan. Kotaku reports that Nintendo will be offering each individual game for a very reasonable 200 DSi Points over the summer, meaning you can have your own piece of gaming history on the go for a measly $2.
There’s no word on these escaping Japan, but considering that a majority of the content offered on DSiWare there has made its way over here, it’s likely only a matter of time.

This is, necessarily, your final reminder: today is the last day of the “year” for Club Nintendo Gold or Platinum status in North America, which means that today is the last day for you to enter points toward whatever the exclusive free gift is going to be. We don’t dare hope for the kind of awesomeness seen in Japan’s Platinum rewards, but we want free things.
If you aren’t yet at 300 coins (for Gold) or 600 coins (for Platinum), and you’ve got more games to register, get to it right now! If you’ve been thinking of picking up Punch-Out!! or something this week, you should probably do it today! Conversely, if you’re at 600 now and you have more stuff to register, wait until tomorrow so it counts toward next year’s total!
If you’re not sure about the eligibility of an older (pre-Club Nintendo) game and don’t want to waste time registering it, consult the list of eligible games in the “Product Registration” area of the Club Nintendo FAQ.
