New Club Nintendo goodies: Ultrahand, Game and Watch Collection 2
The best part of buying Nintendo games is playing the actual Nintendo games you just bought collecting coins for Club Nintendo! At yesterday’s Nintendo Media Summit, the publisher announced two new items: the DS Game and Watch Collection 2 and Grill-Off with Ultrahand for Wii.
Game and Watch Collection 2 is a cartridge with classic and updated versions of Parachute and Octopus, released to Japan’s Club Nintendo in 2008. Ultrahand is a WiiWare game about using a classic Nintendo toy to grill meat (really), released for just 50 points in Japan late last year. No information about release dates or cost have been released here yet.

Club Nintendo offers new, organizational rewards
Nintendo has announced some new Club Nintendo rewards for patrons to spend their hard-earned points on. Don’t get too excited!
The rewards are folders and greeting cards. For 300 points each, you can get a set of either Nintendogs or Mario greeting cards; and for 250 points each, there are folder sets of “Mario & Friends,” “Toad & Friends,” and “Bowser” (each containing three folders and some bookmarks).
These office items might be extra useful for those of you still in school — or those of you whose jobs don’t already tell everyone you know what a huge Nintendo nerd you are. We like them because all the Mario items use hand-drawn Mario art instead of the 3D models Nintendo typically uses.

Club Nintendo Japan sending Game & Watches as Platinum gifts
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.

Nintendo extends Ultra Hand to Japanese Club Nintendo members
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.

Club Nintendo members to get ‘exclusive artwork’ this month
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!

Downloadable Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games get physical Club Nintendo items
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.

Club Nintendo Japan updates with flying Kirby and more
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.
