What do Pikmin have in common with a bag? Put them both over your face and you can’t see anything, yes, but they also tote things!
The Pikmin Tote Bag, now offered to North American Club Nintendo members for 400 coins, is a semi-meta treat in that regard. Made of space age cotton-poly blend, this canvas bag can carry up to 20 pounds (9 kg) and measures 15”x13”x6”. A lineup of Pikmin silhouettes is featured across the front above the mantra: “Pikmin tote, attack, multiply, become snacks.”
NOTE: Please allow ample airflow when using the Pikmin Tote Bag to tote actual Pikmin. Do not tote heavy objects such as cantaloupes or bowling balls along with actual Pikmin. Calling upon actual Pikmin to tote your Pikmin Tote Bag is acceptable but rather silly.
Do you want to pick up a tote bag of your own? Let us know below.

Well I think I know what I'll be getting the wife...
I'd rather get plushies. I only have a Yellow Pikmin.
I dont want a bag Hopefully something Pokemon related comes out around october i have yet to redeem any of my points for prizes
If only this was around before the coin reset... I would have gotten this instantly.
I got one of these hats and t-shirts today. Strangely it was at an Animal Crossing event, and they were being given out for beating times in Mario Kart 7!
a freakin tote bag? god, these rewards really suck on NA Club Nintendo lately No thank you...
I would much rather have pikmin dolls than a tote bag, but beggars can't be choosers
Really?! Tote Bags?! I want the pikmin keychains not tote bags.
There seems to be an abundance of carrying bags on Club Nintendo of America. Too much garbage instead of things we really want.
@Play-Doh_25
I live in Europe and I want the bag
Only 20 pounds max weight?...
I'd rather have the key chain. Oh well. Saving my coins still.
I got it for my friend since he loves Pikmin but at least we are getting something decent guys.
I ended up getting one yesterday, I wanted to spend coins and this is what I got.
I'd save my coins until the Game and Watch game comes available, I am saving my coins for Ball.
Well THIS SUCKS! Why does NOA get all the cool stuff like Pikmin tote bags, hats and t-shirts? That's PRETTY UNFAIR.
@Katzii The hats and t shirts is not on CN, just the tote bag.
Well this certainly sucks.
@Undead_terror teah but they're STILL in America!
@KnightRider666 yeah, I wish these were in Europe, too.
@Katzii: Any guy toting this around would look like a moron. Why can't we redeem our coins for eshop cash?
I've got the keyring!!!
@Happy_Mask: I'm just being honest, not rude. Considering I have over 1,800 coins right now, I ordered it for the heck of it. I'll end up giving it to my niece or something...
@KnightRider666 I've seen guys touting far worse things than a Pikmin tote bag; at worst, turn it so the design faces you!
@Katzii: Totes bags in general to me are for women, no offense. It looks like a purse.
@KnightRider666 not really - people often isr them instead of wasteful plastic carrier bags for shopping, for example.
@KnightRider666 Tote means carry, men can use it, hell even our own Ron DelVillano used one to carry his stuff, although I won't be using mine, I will put mine on the wall and might put someof my favorite game cases or something in it.
@Katzii & @Undead_terror: I guess you're both right.
lol the pic with the guys looks horrendous, but i can add it to my Star bag i got form Nintendo awhile back!
im 70 points short anyone got any free points they can donate to ryo hazuki ?
Is this a limited item?
Tote bag? Ugh. I don't think they've had anything I wanted since the golden nunchuck last summer. That was an awesome item!
@The_Inquisitor Tha NAAAAATURE BOY......W9OOO9OOOOOO
Kitsch
I was excited to see a new if temporary item on the Club Nintendo site. I promptly ordered one since I do need one but don't feel like forking over actual money to obtain one. I'll use mine to carry boardgames over to friend's house.
The 1-up tote bag they had is nice, I bought it before my coins expired a while back and I like it. Don't want to waste my coins on yet another one though,
so they must have had a bunch of these left over from Japan's Platinum reward stash last year....
Nope I would much rather have the pikmin plush that Europe got.
Darn it, NA Club Nintendo, you're rewards used to be much better than this. Glad I got the G&W Collections before they were removed, but they removed the Hanafuda cards, which was my next target.
You can purchase a Pikmin plush here for a very reasonable price:

I bought one a while ago and the quality was incredible
@Peach64 That's awesome! I'd love to get Pikmin stuff for MK7 times! I wish they had events like that around where I live
@The_Inquisitor LOL!
@bezerker99 "This belt cost more than you make in a month..." Whoooooooo!
just saw this on CN and come on a bag? this is something i would get for a female the keychains looks nice though so eh i will pass i guess i need like 65 more coins anyway xD that white t-shirt with the pikmin would of been rly nice instead
wth that guy in the example pic looks like a idiot btw wearing the bag o.O
I would only get the tote if it had all the Pikmin. Wish I could get the earrings of plushies.
@SMEXIZELDAMAN @manu0 doode! 20 pounds is quite hefty! My day job requires carrying items that weigh 18.2 pounds each... And trust me, you don't want that weight on your shoulders for any significant amount of time seriously.
@hydeks c'mon... It's FREE! So you don't like it, don't get it... But like so many people in the world, you could always use this to burn your expiring coins, wait a few months, then post on eBay! Bam! No overhead, it's all profit baby
@KnightRider666 yeah... Definitely for women, at least in my neck of the woods. At school, college recruiters hand out (nice) tote bags (not like the ones offered here... Eek, not bad mouthing, but the college bags are really nice), and I see guys just hand their totes over to their girlfriends without hesitation... Also, my wife saw this tote (sleepy-eyed mind you, asking what it was, I mentioned "tote", she mumbled something about needing another "purse") and now I'm down 400 coins
@KnightRider666 holy crap! THAT would be AWESOME! Sounds like its time for a petition!
man bag!
@Platypus101 I think that would work better for my mario hat shaped 3ds case, the platinum pin collection, platinum cards got last year, and the 3ds game case 18, tote bag just doesn't seem worth anything to alot of people lol Yay, I seen people sell stuff online, but I like collecting these lil things cause their pretty cool Nintendo stuff. I'm been spending most my coins on VC games they throw up there, usually there not too bad
@KnightRider666 I want my coins to be able to turn to eShop money, I think that would be awesome! And I agree with you, I wouldn't be caught dead using a tote bag, men don't like caring around stuff in oversized purse bags lol I wouldn't even use this to bring my Wii U over to a friends house to play games
Just pointing out, this was a platinum reward in Japan last year.
Swag
I now think I'm the only one here who sees tote bags as a unisex item...
@Pinkie
You're not alone.
Personally, while the key chain is nice, I would have chosen the tote bag due to it being more useful to me and my wife.
I really like pikmin and i always been hoping for a pikmin reward to show up but we did but compare to europe they get plushies and idk where but there pikmin keychains and all we get is a tote bag...i mean like i would get it but i only have 160 coins and i was thinking about savin up if the basket returned or get an animal crossing reward but when it comes to pikmin im getting it!!!!
@oninowon im getting it because i missed out on the other tote bag before it dicontinued and i was lazy to get it and i didnt knew it was gonna leave and after that 75% of the rewards disapear and so far there are barley any rewards!!!
@Undead_terror when i found out these were platinum rewards in japan iwas jealous and now that it to north america im happy but still jealous of the other club nintendo that has the plushies and key chains
I ordered it yesterday... simply because it's a Pikmin item.
Wait, WHAT!?!?! Keychains? /-.-
Not for me but the bag does look cool I guess.
