I'm assuming it may be a Mario Pillow like Japan has. I actually wouldn't mind it. Looks cool and cute.


But I'm really hoping for a Zelda figure like the Mario one we received in 2010.


What do you guys think and what do you really hope for?

That pillow looks amazing but.... for some reason I don't want it. Maybe it's because subconsciously I know my pet rabbit would eventually nibble a corner and ruin it. hmm

I'm hoping for something more along the lines of that figure, aka, the time I didn't achieve Platinum Status =(

Re: the podcast, I'm officially filing this episode under "better late than never, motherhonkers!!" and I think that's the sentiment reflected in Gui's tweet.

... I still have a hard time taking twitter seriously. I guess I'm just that old =P (gonna be 31 in 3 days! O_o )

Always junk imo...stuff that I know would collect dust in my place. When I was hitting platinum or gold status....I didn't want a glorified punch out demo

It would be neat if we could choose previous awards from years past, for those who missed out on the pins or figurine, etc.

My vote is for choice between the Pikmin that Miyamoto brought out E3 or Nonspecific action figure

if it is not mario related, then im thinking it will be pikmin, or something else used as a way to promote wii u or a wii u game at launch.

I would like the Mario hat if this is true. I chose the game knowing that the code would expire eventually, but I never did get the hat from eBay.

July 2nd 3:30pm EST. It seems that Nintendo's Club Nintendo Prizes will be announced at TGS.

No way to know, of course, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the reward has something to do with the Wii U. Why should Nintendo of America waste the opportunity to plug their new system to some of their most enthusiastic customers?

You might be right, but at the same time, they didn't plug anything 3DS as a Platinum or Gold prize last year.

Prizes

MEH!!!!

Meh indeed. Surprised to see very little conversation about this.

Personally that 3DS/DS game case holder they had a few months back is way better then all of those gifts and who in their right mind would choose a $3.99 download as their platinum!? haha

Oh well, maybe next year!

I would expect that next year's Platinum Prize might not be very special either, since people will be able to get mad points through 3DS XL and WiiU.

However, it could be a great opportunity for Nintendo to offer an AMAZING prize to get people hooked on the program.
