North American Club Nintendo members have a new addition to their catalogue - a Yoshi Cleaning Cloth, costing you 400 of your precious coins.
The 6x6 green polkadot polyester cloth features our favourite dinosaur, and there's only a limited quantity of these on offer. So like our green friend, you best stick your tongues out and grab one of these quick if you want one.
We think the design is quite adorable, but what are your thoughts? Is 400 too much for a piece of fabric? Let us know in the comment section below.

::sigh::
I would like that, but I already have a cleaning cloth for my Wii U, and it says Wii U on it.
That seems like a massive rip off to me.
I dont know whats going on with CN lately. First they lower the amount of coins we get per game now they offer this at 400 coins??? WTF?? Total ripoff when I can go to Fry's Electronics and get a four pack of cleaning cloths for $2.99
Sorry to be didactic, but let's remember this stuff is free.
@Burning_Spear Free after you purchase a few hundred dollars in games, and then take the time to answer surveys. So yeah... Free in that way.
Free. Nintendo is not obligated to do any of this.
a very substantial part of CN prices is made up of shipping & handling costs. I would be happy to pay those costs in real money but now it eats up a lot of your coins
@Mk_II Exactly, and agreed. I still enjoy CN though. I was going to buy the games anyways, might as well get some stuff for doing a survey that takes 30 seconds.
Having said that: This cloth is too expensive... but Nintendo's thinking, I believe, is it's Limited Edition
@Burning_Spear "Free. Nintendo is not obligated to do any of this."
Yeah I get your point, and you're right, but as consumers, supporters, and fans we can let them know how we feel about their products and services. The idea being that we improve a brand we love. But you're right, it is absolutely a free service that they do not have to offer... PLUS there are other things to spend your coinage on if you don't like that piece of cloth.
This looks nice, but I agree with the 400 is too much crowd. Club Nintendo seems to have been giving us less coins and taking more away as of late.
It's true that you have to buy lots of games first, but this is still technically free. And let's not forget there's alot more stuff than just a yoshi cleaning cloth
Angry people with pitchforks demanding Club Nintendo points and Nintendo Network points account integration please form an orderly queue on the left.
PlayStation and Xbox club rewards are so much better. Oh wait....
For 400 Club Nintendo (Europe) stars, I can get a set of two Princess Peach themed folders.
That would take me 8 surveys (I just earned 50 for a survey on ZombiU). This is not to mention registering games would earn more stars.
NA club coins are supposed to be harder to get - is this still true? Otherwise, this is an awful deal.
Regarding the content on the Europe service, we haven't had a change of stock for a long time. We do have a SNES Wii Classic controller for 7000 points though.
I'd consider it if I had the necessary coins, as I tend to like the more practical CN rewards.
LOL this has been on the Aussie club for quite a while, but we get 2 cloths for 1250 stars I think. Definitely not worth it for some fabric.
So it's potentially a $40 cleaning cloth. I know this whole thing has been discussed before. The freebies are nice, but this is a bit insulting. The rewards I have are the reversible pouch (which I carry my 3DS in) and the 3DS game case. Those are GREAT rewards, and reasonably priced! This just makes no sense.... and where the heck is the Zelda merchandise?
Totally ridiculous. I understand that it's free and everything, but, come on. Dude. Nintendo. Seriously? A CLOTH?! I could get this for like two bucks at Target. Sure, it'd be pink and Yoshi-less, BUT WHA?!!??!/ewgr fsnn
What is the difference in this cloth and a piece of fabric i could find at a craft store?
Thought for 400 coins you'd get a real Yoshi licking your screen clean when you hit it.
When are you guys going to realize that America's club nintendo sucks ass?
Here are a few of the crappy prizes they offer:
Screensavers, Grill-with the ultra hand, Notebooks, Reversible pouches, Animal crossing paper fan, shoelaces, greeting cards, towel, Yoshi cleaning cloth...
do I need to continue?
@gekslupis It has Yoshi on it lol
Wow, I found $5 on the ground. That sucks; 10 would be better.
McDonald’s gives me a free fries if I buy a Big Mac this weekend. It costs them 3 cents to make those fries. Greedy McDonald’s.
I just bought a car and it has a five-year, 60,000-mile warranty. And what happens if the car breaks down in the sixth year?
I won the lottery — a million bucks!!! Yeah but you have to pay taxes.
Want to come to the concert with me tonight, I’ve got an extra ticket? Do I have to pay for the parking?
Refer a friend to DirecTV and get $10 off your bill!!! Big deal, it still costs $120 a month.
Wii U lets you play all your Wii games so you don’t need two consoles on the same TV. It sucks, Nintendo is too lazy to put VC on the GamePad.
I'll just stick with downloading games with CN coins. Most of the other stuff is costs way too many coins!
400 COINS!? Not worth it...
I'm definitely interested, but that price is too steep for me. I'll save my coinage for games.
Oh my god...
THERE ARE NO "HIGH COIN VALUES!" (I don't wanna seem rude butbI'm frustrated)
This is NOT a hard item to save up for. My christmas 3DS games and eshop downloads gave me a whopping 700 coins, so this was easy to get. The notebooks are 150 coins cheaper and no one complains about those, so why this?
Still saving my coins for the Golden Nunchuck, I have 820 right now ><
I think it would be best if they gave you at least a pack of 3 of something, like each one would be a different Nintendo pattern. That's just me though
I'm not bothered about the price because Club Nintendo are my best friend at the moment. I finally managed to get enough points for the Snes pad for the Wii and they have sent me two by mistake, that 7000 free points! Good times.
Yeah, I'll pass.
No...just no...
Were's all the Metroid stuff CN? A screensaver of that terrible game I dare not say doesn't count.
WAY too much... Maybe 200 coins only because it's a limited run. Pass.
As someone who wears glasses this would be pretty cool for cleaning them, but compared to other rewards its not worth 400 coins. Maybe if it was a pack of 3 but how is this worth as much as the terry cloth towels or tote bag?
Sorry, what are sleeves for?
Whoopdeedoo.
No offense Nintendo, but I'd rather have a game soundtrack.
@Burning_Spear
I think the term you're looking for is "Payed for."
Nintendo budgets money for these rewards, as well as the program, and so when we buy a Wii U or a game, part of the money we spend on it is used to make/distribute this merch.
i'll use my shirt, thanks.
for 400 coins nah i will pass would of got it if it was 300 and different design
Looks nice but it's pretty expensive.
rewards like this is why I don't care about club nintendo anymore, a cleaning cloth for 400 points?!? are you seriously crazy?!?
@cornishlee "Hahaha"
A cleaning cloth with Yoshi eggs....what's next, toilet paper with Dk barrels?
Microfiber cloths are cheap enough not to have some video game character on it. I use them for everything from glasses to touch screens to CDs and vinyl records.
DK barrel TP, on the other hand...
You know what I'd like to see from Club Nintendo? A Game & Watch Collection 3. I don't care if it is for the DS or 3DS. I own both 1 & 2, and I thought they were totally worth the 800 coins each I spent on them. Who else would like to see this offered?
definitely want this
Maybe I'd spend 400 coins on it if it were a complete set of all the Mario characters, but 400 for just one? Compared to other items it's about 200 coins too much.
Let me get this strait, I need to buy 2 and a half wii u's to get enough club nintendo coins for the yoshi cleaning cloth, thats insane
