I still havent got my mario statue =(
Wow...this...why even update the store then?
It should have been a classic snes controller! Maybe they wll go on general release soon.
i actually like the Messenger bag. the tote and screensaver i can do without, but I may try and scrounge up points enough for the power star bag.
A bit late with these news..
I like the bags, actually. I may pick up the super star tote at some point.
Edit: Also there are Wii and DS Holiday surveys for owners of the respective consoles and a customer satisfaction survey for 10 points each up. Hooray for free 30 points!
@Games: One day late. Get over it.
@NintendoWorld1 Yeah, I'm hoping for that too. They're in the EU shop, but just to taunt you with their ridiculous price. I'd have to buy like 25 games to get it.
I wish they just sold them, it's stupid really.
I think Im the only guy who bought the tote bag.
It all I can buy tough...
I got the tote too!
SMG2 Soundtrack? Nope, we get a SMG2 Screensaver instead.
I think I might grab that messenger bag. It's actually pretty sweet.
Bought the messenger bag. Looks sweeet.
The messenger bag is amazing. I ordered it instantly I know I'm going to regret it once they put up a SNES Classic Controller or something like that, but I couldn't resist. Still have 400 coins and a couple unregistered games so hopefully I'll manage somehow.
By the way, all you complainers, there's a new free 10 coin survey available now for you to provide feedback on the sorts of rewards you'd like to see from Club N in the future. It actually really gives you the opportunity to emphasize it so go ahead and fill it out.
Ordered me the tote bag. I'm so happy about it. _
I am willing to exchange Club Nintendo rewards for WiiWare Points.
As I personally don't like any of the rewards and would want the points for games.
Please tell me you are all buying these bags for your girlfriends. If not, you will most likely never get a girlfriend if seen in public with one.
Why is one bag more than twice the price of the other if they're almost the same? I'm also wondering how the messenger bag holds more stuff, since it's smaller.
More blah.
@uel: Better quality. Read the descriptions
Messenger Bag, Want!
oh man, i hope the messenger bag is big enough to hold my laptop D:
I ordered the Messenger Bag!
yay Im not the only one but I got it for piano books but the one have is like but no thing on front of it.
Cool. By the way, how many coins would you get for, say, registering a Nintendo Wii on NA Club Nintendo (Europe has stars, not coins)?
@LuWiiGi I believe it's 150 coins if I remember correctly.
Has Nintendo commented on the last screensaver release, or figured out if this one actually work on Macs...? It's a little sad when they actually have an option for Mac's and they don't seem to work, I wonder if anyone tested them.

@LuWiiGi
In the USA you only get an extended warranty for registering a Wii.
You only get coins for registering a DSi
We also don't get anything with a remote like Japan does.
I got the tote!
The bags are nice might pick one up when my coins expire. Nice to see them adding to CN.
@dragon: As long as it's around 14x14 inches

Notting said "Manly" like a Hand Bag..........
Hurrah! Just ordered a "Manly" Messenger Bag. Can't wait!
Whee...
It's not a messenger bag it's a sachel... Indiana Jones wears one...
Yawn. I just checked the rewards list and the Mario and Blooper Japanese Folding fans are sold out, I didn't think anyone would actually buy those.
Definitely just ordered the messenger bag. I hope now that I've finally spent half my coins, they don't go and put something super-awesome-amazing on there for Xmas. =
Still waiting for my CD soundtracks, Nintendo of America!
@Iz2010: It says both bags are 100% cotton. I don't believe cotton is of higher quality than cotton.
@uel One is of black cotton and the other is made of natural cotton. I'm not too familiar with that particular industry though...maybe someone else can explain?
ooh new screensaver!
The prizes aren't that good, in my opinion.
Why not the Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack?
cry I spent all my points on a Fan and a Mario Pin!! I FREAKING NEED THAT MESSANGER BAG!!! D":
sigh now if only we could trade in coins for points..
Man, for some reason, I really want that messenger bag.
this is actually a really cool update, i want the messenger bag, but i already spent my coins on game and watch 2
Thats good there all sold out of the messenger bag im getting tempted to buy one if nouthing good comes to Club Nintendo around xmas im defentally going to pick one up.
Such bad gifts. I have over 1200 points and still haven't bought anything. Terrible Nintendo, just terrible!
...i give up.
I went to Club Nintendo and it says the messenger bags are sold out already!
I like the way that messenger bag looks... and I just have coins sitting around anyways... might pick one up.
Edit: Well, except for the fact that it's sold out and all. Yahoo.
@41:
No love for the up coming Mario Allstars release that includes a free classic soundtrack I see.
Hate to say, but to me these look awful. More power to the rest of you though. I would not be seen carrying one lol.
Dang, messenger bags are sold out.
Would totally get that messenger bag... If I lived in the US that is >_>
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Other than wii points, is there ANYTHING on Club Nintendo that isn't load of tacky old crap?
