Club Nintendo Platinum and Gold rewards revealed

More On: Club Nintendo
It's July 1st, and that means Club Nintendo is revealing the rewards for loyal members. If you've earned Platinum status (accrued at least 600 coins in the calendar year) you get a sweet set of 25 Mario themed pins. Almost as cool as the Mario hat they had a couple years back.

If you reached Gold status (300 coins or more) you get!....a desk calendar. Sigh. It is a cool calendar, but come on Nintendo, don't make gold members feel like the unloved child, again. You had a lame calendar last year! At least give us a deck of those hanafuda cards, or a Wii remote holder or something.
