Japan’s Club Nintendo platinum rewards were announced today. The downloadable game Nintendouji, a set of Mario playing cards, a Pikmin tote bag, and Club Nintendo 2013 calendar are among the prizes.

Nintendouji is probably the most-interesting of the bunch. It’s a turn-based card title for DSiWare with dungeon-crawler and RPG aspects. Nintendouji’s name, which is a pun, means “Nintendo Boy”.

Nintendouji will be available for those who choose the prize in March 2013.

More summarization of the big ol’ Scott Moffitt article from earlier, this time about Nintendo’s overall strategy for the holidays.

Moffitt says that Wii U is NOT Nintendo’s number one priority for the holiday shopping season. The 3DS and 3DS XL are.

“We’re seeing an ever-growing momentum in our handheld business,” he said, “19 months in, we’re still a million units ahead of the pace of DS at this point in its life. As you know, DS was the best-selling gaming system of all time, and so we’re pleased with that.”

That really makes you wonder: Are people just over-exaggerating the trouble that dedicated gaming devices are in? If the 3DS is still a million units ahead of the DS, and the DS had had TWO holiday seasons by this time… it’s really tough to believe that iDevices are killing the handheld gaming market!
