Several Joysitq staffers were pleased to discover that the 2009 Club Nintendo rewards have begun to arrive today. For those that need a reminder of what the gifts are, Platinum members got to choose between a real life Mario hat or a download of Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!, a special version of Punch-Out!! featuring Little Mac's trainer, Doc Louis. Meanwhile, Gold members were limited to one gift, a 2010 Nintendo calendar. Check out the gallery below for images of all the different gifts.

I was hoping for a wall calendar when I got mine. :(

Jason k @ Nov 4th 2009 4:09PM

The Mario hat is awesome, but it looks completely goofy!
It doesn't look anything like it should when it's on.

But I still think it's awesome!

GewurztraminerX @ Nov 4th 2009 4:15PM

I was pleased to discover mine a week or so back.

Kinda wish I went with the hat though.

KaBob799 @ Nov 4th 2009 4:40PM

Yeah thats around when I got my hat.

Nook @ Nov 4th 2009 6:35PM

I got my hat about a week ago too.

Themariohenri @ Nov 4th 2009 4:15PM

i got the calendar yesterday.looks not bad

Randy Burch @ Nov 4th 2009 4:22PM

We pulled down Doc Louis Punch out late last week, it's fun, Doc has a couple of god moves.

aeromat @ Nov 4th 2009 5:14PM

I got my download notice last week and then the game shortly afterwards.

It's okay, and I wish I had taken the Mario hat instead.

I got my hat a week ago, it's not much more than a cheap foam hat will a cardboard bill bent too far upwards. Dissapointing overall, though I guess it is slightly better than nothing.

I did get to dress as Mario for Halloween though, that was fun.

Azbulldog @ Nov 4th 2009 4:27PM

Got the hat myself last week, glad I didn't go for the download for a single fight version of Punch-Out.

Davy~Rush! @ Nov 4th 2009 4:31PM

Having the game made me realize that a Mario Hat could ahve been moresymbolic than a game with only a Club Nintendo Cameo... Game's cool, fun if haven't played Puch-Out!!, but Mario Hat wouldhave been more awesome!

Phil @ Nov 4th 2009 5:06PM

Like most everybody else i got my hat about one to two weeks ago. It doesn't look right on but it looks awesome on my shelf.

Ram @WiiSpotlight @ Nov 4th 2009 5:27PM

Is it me, or anybody else has the impression that the calendar hints at future Nintendo releases?

Look! June for Metroid: Other M, October: New Zelda (Wii), November: Pikmin 3, December: Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Perhaps Pokemon in September fits too but I'm not so sure of that. What do you peoople think?

Mr. Fister @ Nov 5th 2009 8:56AM

Doubtful. Heart Gold and Soul Silver will be out sometime in Spring, and I can't see Wii Zelda getting released that soon.

theasassin15 @ Nov 4th 2009 5:48PM

i got the calendar.Pretty cool.I hung it up on the wall.I just used a shoelace on the back park of the calendar,got a tack, and hung it up.I felt proud.Cool calendar.And I took pics of the month pages with my dsi.REALLY AWESOME.

bearmedal @ Nov 4th 2009 5:57PM

I'm a platinum member, but I never received any kind of notice on what to choose. Where do I go to place the order?

Benji @ Nov 4th 2009 6:46PM

Club Nintendo website, I doubt the offer is still available though.

Mr. Fister @ Nov 5th 2009 8:54AM

Yeah, you had to have Platinum status before July 1, 2009 in order to qualify for this year's rewards. You do have Platinum status for next year, so there's a silver lining for you.

Trev_tron @ Nov 4th 2009 6:06PM

Either I have a huge head or that hat is really small. It would not fit me so I gave it to my little brother.

Arex @ Nov 4th 2009 6:26PM

Got the Mario hat a couple of weeks ago as well. Much too small to look right on an adult, but it will probably fit my daughter nicely in a couple of years. For now, it resides on a stuffed Spongebob sitting in the entertainment room.

I wonder what they will have in store for club members next year. I'm guessing that since a lot of us had saved up points over the course of several years when there was no Club Nintendo, there won't be nearly as many Platinum members in 2010. Maybe with fewer platinum members, they'll have a cooler item like the SNES/SFC classic controller. That's what I was hoping for this year since it's unlikely I will ever achieve platinum status.

Oh well, the hat is cool too, and much more timeless than a Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD.

Wii games published by Nintendo after 2009 Club Nintendo Year; (After June 30)

Wii Sports Resort
Metroid Prime:Trilogy
Wii Fit Plus
New Super Mario Bros. Wii

so there are 240 coins, including registration and post play survey.
(I didn't count DS games)
but there are already lots of games out there you can collect coins from.
I already have 440 coins for the 2010 Club Nintendo, so that makes me already gold member. It will take another 3 games to make it 600.

But, Club Nintendo is COOL!!!
I hope that they will let user to register DSi XL on the top of DSi.

Arex @ Nov 5th 2009 11:59AM

Don't get me wrong, Club Nintendo is great! I'm just no longer at the point in my life where I'll be able to accrue 600 points in the span of a year. Gone are the days of 6+ hour play sessions trying to beat a game within days of release.=(

To be honest, I'm not sure if I ever was at that point where I was buying a game a month. The only reason I made platinum last year was because I had a bunch of Wii and DS games that I had registered over the course of several years before they launched Club Nintendo stateside.

Engerz @ Nov 4th 2009 6:39PM

September release for the Pokemon remakes?!?!!? Heh.

But like many others, sucks that the hat is a bit small. Never once doubted that it would ever fit just right, but daaang. Still, makes a great shelf display.

Benji @ Nov 4th 2009 6:49PM

I got the calendar a week ago. It was a lot smaller than I expected and I wanted the hat to begin with.. (but no choice). But anyways, it's free so it's all good.

Zetro @ Nov 4th 2009 6:51PM

I would've preferred the calendar over my hat. When i opened it was like "This is what i get for $600?.."

BlueXArmed @ Nov 4th 2009 9:52PM

I hope you got some decent games as well.

Arex @ Nov 5th 2009 11:54AM

Yeah, just think of it as a $600 hat (or less, if you got extra points from taking surveys), with 12+ free games.

Curt @ Nov 5th 2009 12:10AM

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the calendar, very high end

nintendolink007 @ Nov 5th 2009 9:18AM

Yeah i just got mine last saturday. I thought they are neat, although took awhile since i ordered it to arrive.

derickw69 @ Nov 6th 2009 12:28AM

i picked the punch out download, and like it more than some cheesy, cheap looking hat.

Deoxys911 @ Nov 7th 2009 12:25AM

I think us Platinum members got duped; The calendar actually seems cooler to me from these pictures than both Platinum rewards put together!

Sam @ Nov 19th 2009 8:04PM

I have yet to receive my hat. :(
