Club Nintendo Japan sending Game & Watches as Platinum gifts

125eb_ball1118 Club Nintendo Japan sending Game & Watches as Platinum giftsThe 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.

These members are now entitled to an exclusive members-only bonus.

Platinum members have the choice of two prizes:

  • 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.

More Club Nintendo goodies announced for Japan

26a63_tmpphppzrhlc More Club Nintendo goodies announced for Japan

While it prepares to wheel out Club Nintendo in North America later this year, Nintendo has decided to torture us one last time with stuff we can’t have.

Every year in Japan, Platinum and Gold members in the Japanese program get a free gift. This year, Platinum members have three to choose from, including the snazzy golden Wii Wheel you see above. This takes us back to GoldenEye’s multiplayer, and us petulantly refusing to play unless we could steer Oddjob with the only gold-colored N64 controller in the house. Also up for grabs is a Super Mario Cap, which Nintendo reports is too big for girls and schoolkids (but not adult male bloggers), and a Club Nintendo Calendar 2009, which will be the only option for Gold members. That’s better than our only option, which is to own nothing.

All very lovely then, and all very out of our reach … but for how long? Go past the break for a look at the cap and calendar.
