Nintendo seem to be doling out the free gifts at the moment. I guess they are trying to figure out what to do with all that money. Today we caught wind of two new giveaways: a coin for Galaxy and a Hyrule Feather Stylus for The Legend of Zelda: The Hourglass.

The coin can be obtained by pre-ordering the upcoming Mario Galaxy on Wii. The coin features, as you might expect, a jubilant Mario. Who else to have on these freshly minted doubloons?

The Feather Stylus can be yours if you register your copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass and provide them feedback on your experience of the game.

Of the two gifts the stylus pen has particularly taken our fancy. This seems to be the more practical as it is unlikely that you will be able to buy much with your Mario coin. That said, either of the gifts are worth getting and hanging onto if only for their future eBay value. Something to hand onto the kids, perhaps?
