Celebrating the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Nintendo Australia has launched a new, and very cute, item on the My Nintendo store.
Fans across Australia and New Zealand can now get their hands on a drawstring bag inspired by Link's Bomb Bag item in the game. It's available for just 500 Platinum Points plus shipping, and our primarily UK-based team is very jealous indeed.
Designed for storing small items "such as dice, coins, and more," the bag features the Bomb Flower design on the front and emblem on the base. It's made of polyester, and measures in at 170mm wide x 250mm high.
Shipping from the My Nintendo Store in Australia usually costs $7.95 AUD, but you can order other merchandise from the store and throw the bag in as an extra item if you like.
The bag hasn't yet been announced for My Nintendo stores in other regions, so let's all pray to the Goddess Hylia that it soon finds its way overseas.

Come on My Nintendo UK, at last, stuff to use my useless platinum points on
I sure hope these come to the Nintendo store in NA.
I haven't logged in for like a year. Wonder how many points I have.
Oh boy, they finally add an item that isn't just some bloody paper and its only available IN ONE LOCATION? WHYYYYY just make it worldwide!
The my nintendo system sucks these days. Such pointless rewards and the cool stuff pales in comparison to what club nintendo offered.
@Matl My Nintendo has always sucked. It's really bad compared to the "Club Nintendo" it replaced.
Hope that the people who get this don't get stopped by airport security on their travels.
@sanderev Yup, too true unfortunately. I just wish I knew how to use club nintendo as a kid cus I would have loved the stuff they offered. At least I have some soundtracks CDs and a couple other trinkets I got from ebay, and they make the my nintendo offerings completely pointless in comparison.
@Matl I actually started collecting game soundtrack cds because of Club Nintendo. And I still do collect game soundtracks if they're available.
@sanderev That's really cool! Even now though, the CDs you get in special editions are always just a selection of like a dozen tracks? Why?
I have the full soundtracks for kirby triple deluxe, link between worlds, and a decent sized selection in the smash 4 CD, and also have a bunch of xenoblade ones as well as a couple of other misc ones. Doesn't help that most game soundtracks are japan only and/or super expensive.
I’d get in on this if it comes to the US even though I don’t think “170mm wide x 250mm high” seems very big
Okay, I just looked it up. About 6.5 x 10 inches. Bigger then I thought it was gonna be. 😆
I envy you all with yours physical rewards. Guess I will trade my points for another lousy wallpaper with the wrong aspect ratio…. Sigh… I miss the days when you could exchange platinum points for the 3DS themes.
Yes please. Want
This would be perfect for my fledgling dice collection. Unfortunately, I don't live in the Land Down Under. Please come to other regions!
Well, guess I'll have to get it for inflated prices on ebay later.
Basically, the criterion for a reward in NA must be that it can't be any good...
That's super cute. Even the bottom has a print. Awesome. Fingers crossed this comes to Europe.
Keep my weed in there;)
And again the NA market get shutout again...typical. Every else gets fun stuff and NA gets crapped on.
Locked in my order just now. I hope all regions eventually get it, but lemme tell ya... physical rewards are fairly recent for Down Under compared to the Club Nintendo days. I'm certain there are goods America and Europe have that we never received ourselves, so please don't hate on Nintendo Australia too much.
Edit: lol actually yeah, having just looked at all the stuff US/EU has received in the past that we in the AU have not — first of all, I fully expect you'll get the bag — secondly, and more importantly, to the complainers: bite me.
@Matl Yeah, but I also bought the 4CD version of Octopath Traveler from Japan, and the Final Fantasy 7 Remake OST from Square enix. (8CDs)
And I buy Nintendo soundtracks if I can. Most of them through iTunes and some through Play-Asia.
Darnit, I want that. Hope NoA gets them.
That would be a really epic dice bag for my D&D games. Also a useful prop!
An atheist, a Buddhist, and a gamer walk into an airport. One says to the other "hey, check out my new bomb bag!"....
Bet they're already sold out. Stuff like this never lasts. Lol
Should just sell them if they charge you shipping for "rewards". I usually don't pay when I get a reward, then it's just shopping.
I am Australian. I have an Australian “My Nintendo” account and enough points. Yet they do not accept PayPal, so I can’t buy anything off the store anyway. I do not have (and neither do I want) a credit card, which seems to be the only option to pay for postage. The eShop accepts PayPal but not the store.
