Several weeks back I took an entire Sunday afternoon to dig through the garage and fish out every first party DS and Wii game I’ve ever owned, and went through the arduous process of cracking open each one to register it on Club Nintendo. The Game & Watch Collection DS game was basically reward enough, but, if you haven’t been personally notified yet, there’s a newly announced bonus in it for members that reached Gold or Platinum level.

As seen at right, Platinum level members can now choose from two new gifts free just for having participated: a cotton/poly “life sized” Mario hat, which is nice (and would look cutest slung side-long on your unsuspecting child’s head, Yoshi’s Island-Mario-style), or, a special downloadable version of the Wii’s Punch-Out!! remake that pits you directly against your in-game coach, Doc Louis. It’s a tough call between the physical and the digital, however exclusive the latter, and I’m still not settled (we have until August 11th).

For Gold members, though, the choice is clearer: you’ll be receiving a 2010 desktop calendar featuring a different game per month — neither wearable or playable, but no booby prize itself. Log in to your Club Nintendo account to see if you’re eligible for either and to claim your prize.
