New Club Nintendo Prizes Underwhelm
Members of the Japanese version Club Nintendo who have racked up the required number of points from their Nintendo purchases will be able to secure one of the lovely prizes seen above — a gold painted Mario Kart Wii wheel, a Club Nintendo calendar for 2009 and a plush-looking Mario hat. Were the Wii wheel to come in Wario purple and gold and have a little "W" stamped upon it, I'd snap it up instantly, but would have to settle for the hat — were I to be a member. More » -

U.S. Version Of Club Nintendo To Hand Out Physical Goodies
Nintendo of America announced that it was bringing the Club Nintendo customer reward programing stateside in October, just prior to Tokyo Game Show.

But what kind of stuff will we, the purchasers of Nintendo stuff, get in return? More »

Club Nintendo Finally Coming Stateside
Stars. My god it's full of stars. Big news came at the very end of Nintendo's super-special press conference in San Francisco today, when President Reggie Fils-Aime announced that the Club Nintendo, the customer loyalty program already in place in Europe, Japan, South Africa, and Australia, is finally going to make its way to North America this holiday season. Running in a similar fashion to the previously established programs, fans will be able to collect points by completing surveys and registering products to save up for nifty premium items from a North American Stars Catalog.

First Look At Premium DS
A shiny finger print nightmare. Here's a first look at the actual Club Nintendo "Premium" DS Lites announced last July. It comes with a groovy pouch too, it seems. There are only 3,000 of these cover plated "Premium" DS Lites: 1,000 Premium Silver; 1,000 Premium Black; 1,000 Premium Rose. These are actually the standard-in-Japan "Gloss Silver", "Jet Black" and "Metallic Rose" DS Lites treated with a special metallic plating cover. Club Nintendo members interested in snagging one of these need to enter the serial numbers of two purchased DS titles that went on sale after August 2006 into the Club Nintendo online application. There's a limit of five entries per member! From that, 3,000 winners will be selected at random. More »

Club Nintendo Expands Its Reach
Club Nintendo's expanding into a new country! Sadly (for Americans) it's not America. Luckily (for Australians) it's Australia. I picked up my copy of Mario Kart this morning, and tucked softly inside the game's cover was this very personal invitation, asking me if I'd like to register the unique pin code found inside in exchange for Club Nintendo star points. Why yes, yes, I would. The Australian version of the site's not quite ready yet, so you can't browse the reward items, but it'll most likely be identical to the European one, so head there if you'd like to see just how many games you'll need to buy if you want that golden Link + Epona statue.

Japanese Club Nintendo Members Get Even More Cool Swag
We all know by now that Nintendo of Japan offers its Club Nintendo members way better swag than we will ever see here in the States. But in case you needed more proof, here it is. Currently, Club members are being offered a choice between three gifts that range from so-so to totally awesome. First there's the so-so Nintendo desk calendar followed by two much better choices: a two-disc Super Mario Galaxy Soundtrack and a Wii classic controller shaped like a SNES pad. Something tells me Nintendo is going to end up with a lot of calendars sitting in a warehouse somewhere. More » -

Mario Family Figure Set Signed by Miyamoto on eBay
Here's a nice little find for you Nintendo collectors, especially for those of you who like MIB. Well, technically I suppose the MIB has been ruined by the signature of the genius Miyamoto, but what are you gonna do? This is a boxed set of Nintendo figurines gotten from Japan's awesome Club Nintendo and signed by miyaoto himself complete with little quotes for each of the characters. The set in this form is not available in the U.S. (although you can get the individual ones at the Nintendo World Store) and of course the signature makes it ultra rare. At the time of the writing of this article, there were six bids bring the price up to a reasonable $46 although the reserve has not been met yet. If you want this precious, precious Nintendo treasure for your very own, you have until July 25. More »

Crazed Boozehound Defiles Ultra-Rare DS Game
This is almost too painful to watch. It's Wired Game|Life blogger and published author Chris Kohler tearing into not only a bottle of rum, but also, heartbreakingly, into a shrinkwrapped copy of the Game & Watch Collection for the Nintendo DS. As Chris explains, this game is only available to folks in Japan. Only members of Club Nintendo—which sadly has no North American counterpart—with 500 expendable points got their fanboy mitts on this game. Sure, its basically a port of three very shallow Game & Watch titles, but come on. This is rare stuff. More »
