Club Nintedo Europe makes me jealous. Then again we make them jealous with our rewards as well here in North America. The latest rewards with Club Nintendo Europe are awesome! These trophies, my friends, are real life trophies. They are a bit on the expensive side. Setting you back 5000 stars. They measure 12cm by 10cm. You get choose between the ones pictured above. Would you spend some hard earned coins/stars for this particular rewards?
 
Nintendo of America has finally revealed what this years Club Nintendo prizes are for collecting all those coins through out the year! Platinum status holder who achieved 600 coins or more gets to choose between three new posters which feature promotional are from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and  Kid Icarus: Uprising. The other Platinum gift you can choose is a new set of Super Mario playing cards! (Glad they threw that in there.) So either you pick the posters or the cards. The choice is yours.

Gold member holders as every year , that means collecting 300 coins or more, will get a Nintendo 2013 calendar. Nintendo has shown the monthly art for the calendar yet, but given that the Wii U will be out by then, I can only assume it will have some images relating to the Wii U. 

Now Nintendo wants to play a little bit of Deal or No Deal. So if you are not happy or satisfied with any of the rewards mentioned for both Platinum or Gold member, you have the option to say no to all the physical rewards and instead you will get a digital download. You have the option of the following: Super Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask from the Wii Virtual Console, Metroid II: Return of Samus from the 3DS Virtual Console and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! from DSiWare. 
 
Ok so first I want to say that this has not been confirmed in North America, so far only the UK. This Article was found at MyNintendoNews.

"Nintendo 3DS owners will from today be able to swap and collect a specific collection of virtual cards featuring some of their favourite characters when a free Virtual Card Album launches for Nintendo 3DS today. Some cards for this Virtual Card Album are available in 3D and others will feature brand new artwork, meaning that Nintendo fans will have lots of reasons to try and collect them all.

To kick off your collection simply visit the Nintendo eShop to get the free Card Pack, featuring the Virtual Card Album and 5 virtual cards. The collection will feature well known characters such as Mario and Sonic, to name a few. Further virtual cards will be distributed regularly via SpotPass meaning that you will in no time have plenty of cards in your Virtual Card Album to begin collecting and swapping with friends.

It is possible to have multiples of the same cards so make sure you know which cards your friends need so that you can swap your duplicates for any you need to help complete your virtual collection. Swaps take place via StreetPass and through a Local Connection with your friends, you can allocate which of your collection you want to swap and once you agree to a trade it will happen automatically.

Some cards are rarer than others and there are various ways to get the rarest cards for your collection beyond simply swapping them with your friends. If you want to unlock the rarest cards, then ensure to take your Nintendo 3DS around with you while you’re out and about. By walking around with your Nintendo 3DS in Sleep Mode you can earn up to 10 Play Coins every day, these can then be exchanged on rare cards for your collection.

Similarly, some rare cards will become available by visiting designated locations and events so make sure you keep an eye out for announcements as to their whereabouts and that you have your Nintendo 3DS to hand when on the move.

To start this specific virtual card collection and trade cards with your friends, download the Virtual Card Album from the Nintendo eShop from today. For information on this Virtual Card Album and other Nintendo 3DS games and features please check here."

Gamestop has announced that a special Pin will come along with the game for all those who pre-order. My thoughts are that this pin will look similar to the Mario 3D Land pin.  Since the only picture provided of the pin was the above image. 

Here is what Gamestop is saying about the pin:
"Bonus!
Pre-order New Super Mario Bros 2 and receive an Online Exclusive Gold Mario Pin! Online Customers: Gold Mario Pin will ship with game. Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: Available online only. Not offered in stores."
