I've been checking the site regularly for a few weeks now, and I have seen some changes to the offerings here and there, but I'm still not sure if there is a scheduled day when they actually update this stuff.
For the most part, the physical rewards have stayed exactly the same this entire time, though a few sold out over the weeks. I remember they still had the Zelda posters in stock at one point, but they've been out of those for a while now. I think the 3DS game card case ran out recently too, since I seem to remember it being in stock once. (Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that they are giving away something the same size and shape as a 3DS game case, just a piece of plastic, and it seems like one of the more useful items there?)
The 3DS XL charge cradles are practically eternally out-of-stock. I don't know why the system doesn't just come with one like the original. But I did notice that the official Nintendo online store is planning on offering them for purchase sometime around the last week of April 2014. They run about $19, not including any s&h.
Many of these rewards have been on here for years, so in many ways the rewards list looks about the same as it did years ago. I got two packs of the hanafuda cards before, and those are pretty cool. I still have never actually played a game with them. I wouldn't expect to see much in the way of new physical objects, but it seems like they might change the virtual console offerings more frequently. I'm jealous that Wii-U owners can get Punch-Out and Super Mario RPG, but we 3DS owners only have DK Jr. and Pictobits (?) to look forward to.
The Pokémon X and Y thing surprised me, too.
