I just saw this article and went over to Nintendo site and ordered the Mario Sensu fan.  I just want it for collecting purposes.  Also, the Mario fan looks pretty cool.  Just 300 points also...  Just giving a heads up to anyone else that might be interested.  Looks like they have two Animal Crossing fans and two Mario fans.

Nice. Thanks for the heads up. I 'm going to check it out now.

Geez why don't they bring other stuff over from Japan's Club Nintendo. Not that the fans are bad but I want my SNES controller!

I think we are all waiting on that SNES controller. But I guess the Classic Controller will have to make due for now.

Yea, that SNES classic controller would be very nice if they let us be able to get it.  Perhaps I should send an email to Nintendo of America begging them for it...

I am wondering, should I purchase that Golden Wii Wheel?

That Golden Wheel is the gift item for this year?  I assume it is the platinum gift option?   It isn't available for just getting with points so I think it is the gift item for platinum status.  I only got a stupid calendar again this year as my gift of year (gold status).  Anyways, I would say get it if you use the Wii Wheel.  I never really used it myself but if I did then I would get the Golden one if I could.

I see they have exclusive Grill-Off with Ultra Hand WiiWare title for 80 coins.  It doesn't look too insteresting but maybe could be some fun.   Anyone have it?  I am thinking about it since it is exclusive and only 80 coins.

No the platinum gift for this year is a small Mario statue with Mario, Bowser and all the mainstream characters on it. It looks like it might be similiarly sized to the Reach statue people got for ordering the Legendary bundle.
