Today is the last day you can exchange your Club Nintendo stars for some sweet swag as Nintendo discontinue its popular loyalty programme.

These ‘scratchpad’ type inserts found in game boxes were the most common way of accumulating stars

Nintendo have considerably ramped up the goodies you can exchange your stars for, ensuring that you don’t need to have amassed a ludicrous game collection just to exchange it for a plush doll (unlike those ticket type systems at arcades which swap a 1000 tickets for a pink fizzer).

Here are my top picks for spending your unused stars:

If you have 1500 stars and have an intense love (or even fleeting affection) for Super Mario, then Super Mario Bros Deluxe for the 3DS is a must have. The GameBoy color remaster of the original (along with the rare lost levels) is guaranteed to give you hours of fun

If you have (need to confirm the stars – it’s about 3500) stars and wear your love for gaming on your sleeve, you should definitely cash in your stars for the Mario Kart T-shirt). Just be prepared for the swag overdose and spiky shell that often follows fashionistas who own this top.

I managed to accumulate (I think it was 5000 – again – we need to confirm) stars (you get a bunch of them for registering your consoles) so I opted for the Yoshi plushy. Yoshi is having a renaissance of sorts (Yoshi’s Woolly World being the latest addition to the family) and there are few things cuter than a Yoshi plushy.

Here’s crossing fingers that Nintendo’s new programme wows us loyal fans. Stay tuned to Geek Node for the review.
