I just received my Golden Wii Wheel (a 2008 Club Nintendo Japan platinum members gift) from Nintendo,
and thought some of you might like to see some photos.

First, the front of the box:



Next, the back of the box:





The content of the box (wheel, brown paperwork thingy, instruction manual):

So, what is that curious little, brown, paperwork thingy, you ask?




Well, it is a special stand for displaying the Golden Wii Wheel, of course!

It must so awesome to have it on my shelf ,sadly i havn't had this one.

/look with jealous eyes. ( *_*)

Well, the point system for Club Nintendo (Japan) actually uses two separate systems. When a member gains points for registering a product (for example, 30 points for a game of 5,250 yen or more), those 30 points are added to both a "savings" account and a "ranking" account.

Members can trade in points from their "savings" accounts at any time for a variety of gifts that are available all year. These gifts include things like playing cards, stationary sets, DS cases, etc.

The points accumulated in a "ranking" account are not traded in; rather, they determine the level of membership in Club Nintendo. 200 points or lower is the "normal" ranking, 200 to 399 is the "gold" ranking, and 400 and above is the "platinum" ranking. Since I had accumulated more than 400 points during fiscal year 2008, I was eligible to select from a few (three, I believe) special end-of-the-year "platinum member" gifts. I don't remember what the other choices were, but the Golden Wii Wheel was clearly the best choice.

But does it make you better at the game?
