Club Nintendo announced their Gold/Platinum rewards.  Gold gets a calendar.  Platinum gets a choice of either "Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!" on WiiWare, featuring a one-on-one fight with the big man himself, or a real-life Mario hat.

I'm a little ticked.  I not only hit Platinum (600 coins), I maxed that damn meter (1,000 coins).  No point to that, it seems.

Well, anyway, decisions decisions...  I'm torn between these two.
(if it were a Luigi hat it'd be so much easier... O:< )
If I could kill any number of coins to get both, I would, but that's not an option.  Thoughts?

Well, is there a picture of this "real life Mario hat" at all? I've seen kids with "Mario caps" before, but its just usually a red ball cap with a "M" on it, so unless its exactly the same as the ingame ones, it can be gotten elsewhere probably. As for the Punch-Out thing, I've never played any Punch-Out game, so I wouldn't know anything about that >.>

It's not a "real" hat. It's a cushion/plushie.

"One size fits most, with elastic strap.  Hat may be big for small children.  Hat made of polyester and cotton."

Still looks like the same [parasitic bomb] the elevens got. So, unless you have pics of someone wearing it...

I quoted the disclaimer from the Club Nintendo site, did you not see?  The pic is just to show that it's not a baseball hat, in answer to Typ.

Yeah, I don't trust their reviews as far as I can throw them either (you haven't heard me rant on Daemon Hatfield's atrocious Godzilla Unleashed review, have you?).  But free news is free news, and it's where I felt like putting up my near-never-updated blog for some reason. >.>

Anyways, I am thinking of going for the hat.  I'm sure Doc will be YouTubed in due time, and I don't see him topping Aaron Ryan or Super Macho Man.

Don't call me Typ >.>
Anyways, now that I've seen the hat, I'd agree to go with that, since it's "reusable", while once you beat Doc Louis, well, there isn't much replay value or point in fighting him over and over again...

When you're on a DSi, you look for shortcuts.  *shrugs*

As cool as it sounds to fight Doc, it's really just a demo of the full game using something that should have been in the main game to begin with. That and its DLC crap.

Get the tangible good. You can at least show it off and not be restricted by icky DRM.

Agreed.  At this point I'm just leaving the poll open for curiosity.
