Pre-order New Super Mario Bros 2 and receive an Online Exclusive Gold Mario Pin!
Online Customers: Gold Mario Pin will ship with game. Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: Available online only. Not offered in stores.
Bummer that it's online only. That always means that we can't get our Nintendo first party games on launch without going into the store.
At least it will be downloadable as well this time.
The pre-order bonus is lame as it is, but to make it online only is the deal breaker for me. If I had to order this online, it'd be from NewEgg so I can save $10 (slightly over $10 actually, since NewEgg doesn't charge me shipping or tax like GameStop does)
Well time to order 3 copies of the game
Mine and GF's in store
A 3rd one online with preorder pin
And then i will return the 3rd copy to the store to get my money back, and keep the pin
This would look GREAT next to my wonderful pins from Club Nintendo! CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH PINS!!!
Seriously though, I'll save the extra $10 from Newegg, and I don't even have to pay tax...
The non-inclusion of in-store pre-order bonuses doesn't make me very happy. I don't like to order games from online retailers (except from Nintendo eShop and online markets from other gaming systems).
Not to mention GameStop won't let me shop online. I've tried before; they keep rejecting my billing information and shutting me out for security reasons.
Gamestop didn't even give me the stupid keychain for preordering Super Mario Land 3D. I didn't even notice until a few weeks after I picked it up so I couldn't go back and complain.
So the UK gets an awesome coin necklack and we get a pin..... =/
I'd rather have this than the coin.
Yeah like others have said the UK preorder bonus blows this one out of the water.
I'd love to have that gold coin, but I'm more P.O.'d that this bonus is online only... I don't deal with Gamestop.com...

Gamestop is making it easy for me to continue not shopping there.
Thanks but I'd rather save $10 and get it from NewEgg.

This may be one of the few times we actually agree on something.

Ebay is your friend whiners
Man I wanted that coin.
was going to pre-order...this killed all chances of that. If it was the coin...would have pre-ordered...even if online only...but not for a cheap pin

This preorder bonus is also available in EB Games Australia. Yay!
