New Club Nintendo rewards will hold your old Club Nintendo rewards
Nintendo has added three lovely new items to the North American Club Nintendo catalog. The "cheapest" of the trio is a Super Mario Galaxy 2 screensaver for ten coins. It's the second Club Nintendo screensaver to be released -- a Mario 25th anniversary version is also available for the same price. Moving up, for 250 Coins, you can score a canvas tote bag with colorful polka dots and a Super Mushroom silkscreen. And for 550 Coins, there's the black messenger bag, featuring a Super Star design. Based on the options, we suspect a lot of people are going to show up at E3 with the same messenger bag next year. That'll be embarrassing.%Gallery-106508% [Thanks, Dogs of the AMS]

I got bitten on the butt and all I got was this lousy tote bag
We still have yet to see any screenshots of Sega's highly-anticipated (by us) Oshiri Kajiri Mushi Rhythm Lesson DS, the game that tries to motivate us to learn music with virtual, adorable butt-bites, but Sega is showing off some preorder swag for the game.Japanese DS fans with a keen enough interest in learning music from a cartoon bug* to preorder the game will be rewarded with a tote bag featuring the Mushi himself and his butt-biting dancers. Just think -- you could be environmentally responsible with your groceries and celebrate an obscure Japanese fad! If you happened to be in Japan on April 10th.*Actually the educational material is created by the Kawai musical instrument company, and then made to appear as if given by a cartoon bug. It's a trick.
Mario tote for toting whatever people tote
First, a confession: we have no idea what people use tote bags for. Toting things, obviously. But what? They're too big to be purses and too small to be overnight bags. However, we like totes because they're called "totes" and give us a reason to say the word "totes." This one's got a Mario pocket on it, and some appliqued Super Mario Bros. 2 items. It's great work, available from Etsy seller TheFennec for a scant $10. The Sub-Space version looks just like this one, but black, and full of coins. Also, like all of Sub-Con, it's just a dream.[Via Wonderland]
