4th July 2012 - Ahead of the highly anticipated release of New Super Mario Bros. 2, available on Nintendo 3DS from 17th August, Nintendo is releasing a one-off collectable gold* coin case as an exclusive pre-order gift when you pre-order your copy at GAME and gamestation stores. The small case - a replica of Mario’s iconic Coins - can hold any number of small objects, including the New Super Mario Bros. 2 Game Card itself, making it a handy accessory if you’re always on the move.
Every Mario fan knows that he loves to collect Coins and in New Super Mario Bros. 2 the Mushroom Kingdom is bursting with more Coins to collect than ever before. Each level is littered with gold as they rain down from overhead pipes, trails of Coins are left behind by special gold enemies and pipes transport Mario into Coin-filled caverns.
It’s up to you to collect as many Coins as possible throughout Mario’s latest adventure and now you can collect a limited edition gold coin case before the adventure has even begun.
Simply pre-order New Super Mario Bros. 2 at GAME or gamestation to receive the collectable gold coin case. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the latest golden Super Mario Bros. adventure, for any loyal Mario and Luigi fan!

Damn, I want that. Unfortunately, I don't live in the UK.
While I appreciate the fact that Nintendo's offering the full game as a digital download, they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot by offering a pre-order promnotion for the boxed game.
This, combined with the fact the price is exactly the same and not discounted even a little, I don't see sales for the digital version getting all that much.
And yes, as much as I hate GAME and wish it died for good a few months ago, I will be pre-ordering the game from there, if only to get this neat thing.
Not sure what to think of this. It looks more like something you'd swing back and forth in front of someone to try and hypnotise them into buying New Super Mario Bros 2 than something to keep money in. Kind of like in this commercial:

Definitely not doing much to encourage anyone to get this as a download, Nintendo.
It would be nice if they would add it to amazon uk.
Nintendo just wants people to buy it. I doubt they really care if it's a download or physical, as long as people buy it.
All we get in the US is a stupid pin. Seriously?
I may live in Holland, but those extra shipping costs are well worth this goodie.
From what I read on game/co.uk it's only availible for uk shipment...
World of Games has it too in Switzerland, so I guess more retails around Europe might offer it. I have preordered mine, though the coin look like a cheap plastic toy on the pic.
Awesome! I'll totally be doing this. Damn you, Nintendo for enticing me with cheap tat >_>
If you preorder 100 copies...
If you preorder 100 copies, you should get a life... yeah, no, really. Get a life. O-o lol
@Elfteiroh
Made me laugh.
I'll likely get it from game anyway, this just makes me more tempted to pre-order!
Cool I allredy Pre-Orderd can't wait
