Merchandise is an important part of Nintendo’s enduring empire, though it waxes and wanes with the company’s fortunes. Never again will we see the insane profusion of cereal, pajamas, calendars, telephones and other trinkets that accompanied Nintendo’s rise to pop-culture ubiquity in the late 1980s. Nor will the company ever have anything as dizzyingly marketable as Pokemon was at the close of the 1990s. In this modern era of the Wii, the DS, and their descendants, the best place to find odd or memorable Nintendo goods was the Club Nintendo shop. Since 2006, the Club let us amass points from Nintendo-related purchases and cash them in for free games or trinkets, but all of that comes to an end on June 30 . So there’s no better time to look back at the best rewards from Club Nintendo.

Hanafuda Cards

Nintendo lets some parts of their history fade away. For example, you’ll seldom see them mention those 1960s ventures in taxi services and quickie-romance hotels. Yet the company’s proud of its origins as a hanafuda manufacturer, and Club Nintendo members could get a handsome set of playing cards to prove it. They weren’t exact replicas of the cards that Nintendo first made in 1889 (we doubt Mario and Lakitu existed then), but they’re a good example of Nintendo’s vast background.

Game & Watch: Ball

The Game & Watch handhelds are another seldom-neglected part of Nintendo history. The LCD games proved successful toys and tested out the company’s innovative D-pad, and they later appeared in Game Boy collections, DSiWare titles, and even Wario Ware mini-games. Some of the devices showed up again as keychains in 2010, but Nintendo went one better and gave Club Nintendo users a fully operational reproduction (with a mute switch) of the first Game & Watch title, Ball. Platinum members in Japan could get it for free, while American and European fans paid more for them. Yet a rarity like that was worth it.

Super Mario Figurine Set

Club Nintendo’s rarest offerings were Gold and Platinum Awards, given only to those members who bought enough Nintendo tonnage each year. And the nicest award might’ve been a cluster of Mario figurines perfectly suited to a bookcase or desk. The set shows Peach, Luigi, Mario, Yoshi, Toad, Bowser, and pipe-mounted Goomba, all posed on a base and packed into a question-mark box. Offered as awards for the 2010 season, the little display proved a favorite among the Club Nintendo members lucky enough to get it—and a good reason for many to try for Platinum awards the following year.

Super Famicom Controller for Wii

The Wii’s Classic Controller, with its dual analogs and doubled-up shoulder buttons, works well for just about any Virtual Console game. But let’s face it: there’s nothing like a Super NES (or Super Famicom) controller. Nintendo knew this deep down, and 2007’s platinum-level Club Nintendo members in Japan got a Classic Controller shaped just like the Super Famicom model. European and Australian club members received it a few years later, but North America missed out.

Year of Luigi Sound Selection

The Year of Luigi seemed a joke when Nintendo announced it in February 2013, but it was serious enough to give Mario’s gangly brother all sorts of recognition: new Luigi’s Mansion
