Under Wii / Nintendo
Japanese purchasers of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will receive a transparent quill stylus as a gift when they put down their yen for the game. AndriaSang reports that the stylus will be given out on launch day as an “early buyer bonus,” but there’s no need to pre-order.
If the plastic quill seems familiar, it’s because Nintendo used it as a bribe back in 2007 for registering Phantom Hourglass and filling out a survey. Spirit Tracks choo-choos into retail on December 7. We’re currently unaware of the quill being offered as a pre-order in North America but if the retail masses out there know differently, please let us know in the comments.

The stars of this, uh, booth … were definitely the DS styli. As Gundam weapons, they’re crafted to the scale of popular Gundam models and terminate in a point suitable for use on a DS. We don’t want to think that’s pure awesome, but here we are posting it, so you can guess how we really feel …

[Update: The contest is closed! Keep an eye on your email to see if you've won.]
Shapeways uses 3D printing technology to fabricate items based on submitted 3D models — like the custom Nintendo-themed DS styli we’ve featured. The site has graciously offered to activate its futuristic alien technology for Joyswag purposes, meaning that one lucky winner will receive a stylus like the one above, designed by extrudedqwerty, in stainless steel, customized with the winner’s own initials on the back.
Shapeways is doing the impossible — printing a solid object just for you — and all you have to do is:
- Leave a comment telling us what kind of stylus you use now
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
- Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day
- This entry period ends at 11:59 am ET on Friday, July 24
- At that time, we’ll randomly select one grand-prize winner to receive a personalized Hylian Shield DS stylus from Shapeways ($30 ARV)
