Gold Nunchuck Available on U.S. Club Nintendo Next Year

Good news, Nintendo customers in the U.S., the perpetually sold-out Gold Nunchuck will be available once again on Club Nintendo next year. Nintendo tweeted the – obviously popular, since it's already been retweeted 124 times and favourited 45 times – news yesterday:

The Gold Nunchuk will return to #ClubNintendo after the New Year. Start saving your Coins! http://bit.ly/O7mThC

The Gold Nunchuck is currently listed at a price of 900 coins. If you're not a member of Club Nintendo, all you have to do to earn those coins is sign up for a free account and start registering your games. It's another anti-preowned measure, really, since a secondhand copy isn't guaranteed to include a registration code. You get bonus coins for registering a game within four weeks of its release date, i.e. paying full price rather than waiting for it to come down, and for completing surveys that become available a week after each game has been registered.

The Gold Nunchuck – gold-coloured, not actually made of gold – matches the gold Wii Remote Plus controller that comes with the limited edition version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, so if you've got one of those and you've got a thing for bling you might want to set yourself a reminder to check up on the site next year.
