Club Nintendo

Donkey Kong Jr. has been on there like 4 times now...

I own all of those except Metal Torrent and Kid Icarus. I've played enough of Kid Icarus from owning it before though, so if I get any of them, it'll be Metal Torrent. I just have no idea if that game is any good.

Donkey Kong Jr.?
Not getting any of these....

The rewards are in!



The rewards are awful for Platinum members and I feel even worse for the gold members. I guess you can get Game & Wario and sell it for some cash but, who wants to buy it when they can get it for free? Most people likely have NES Remix, EarthBound and Dr. Luigi. I have DKC on the Wii, Minis on the move, Rolling Western was a good that you could get with coins last year and Fluidity does not seem worth it. If your an early 3DS owner you have Ice Climber, Super Mario Bros, Zelda II and Metroid and Kid Icarus has been on Club Nintendo so many times. I guess I will go with Dr. Luigi or NES Remix but, a soundtrack, poster, playing cards or even an amiibo would have been better.

What the?

I decide to join Club Nintendo for the rewards, and end up with Mario & Donkey Kong Minis in the Move?
I wish they had put up NES Remix 2, OR AT LEAST A GAME BOY ADVANCE GAME!!!

Not even a poster or the calendar? That's a first. This is the worst batch of platinum rewards ever. Yeah, they are free games, and some of them are full games, but come on. They could at least give out some better games too. I don't care about a DKCR remake when I already own the original game. Dillon's Rolling Western was on there already. A lot of these games are only $10 or even $5 or less. I mean, why wouldn't you choose the most expensive game? I really don't know if I want NES Remix, Earthbound is much cheaper to just buy than most of the other games. I'll probably get a 3DS game since I don't have access to my Wii U atm.

Originally I was kind of upset I didn't even make gold status this year, but now I'm not very upset with these, I'd prefer a physical prize like last year's Majora soundtrack.

The Elite Status rewards this year are disappointing, mainly because it lacks any physical rewards. I'm surprised that they don't have the calender for Gold members this time. I do like that they're offering Game and Wario as I don't have it so I will most likely go with that. I have a good number of the others on my Wii U.

I think they should have made an exclusive like Doc Louis's Punch Out at least.

@Cubone
I'm upset since I did manage to get Platinum status, and this is what we get...I downloaded Fluidity: Spin Cycle since I wanted to play one of the games now, and I don't have access to my Wii U at the moment.

@SirYoshi
I wouldn't recommend Game and Wario at all...of course, you can download whatever you want, but I personally found the game to be terrible and disappointing.

This month's games are now available:

Super Mario Bros. 2 [Wii U] - 200 coins
Excitebike [Wii U] - 200 coins
Star Fox 64 [Wii] - 250 coins
Vegas Stakes [Wii] - 250 coins
Game Boy Baseball [3DS] - 150 coins
Puzzle League Express [3DS] - 200 coins
Mario Golf [3DS] - 200 coins
Dr. Mario Express [3DS] - 200 coins

You have to go under the "coins and rewards" section in order to find these games for some reason. This is an alright selection, but we've seen most of them on Club Nintendo before...and 200 coins is a bit much for NES games, 250 I can understand for N64 games, but I think the NES ones should at least be 150. I might get Star Fox 64, and maybe Super Mario Bros. 2. (although I'm not sure at that amount of coins)

I might get Super Mario bros 2. I have the advance remake but I have never played the original NES version before, I've heard it was more difficult due to the lack of hearts. I already have a Star Fox 64 cartridge so I don't need to get it again. I do like this selection of games.

^ Yeah, the NES version is supposedly more difficult. But I also haven't played it, which is why I might get it on Club Nintendo. I just don't want to use a lot of my coins if I'm also getting Star Fox 64.

The only games I don't have are Puzzle League Express, Game Boy Baseball and Dr. Mario Express. I won't be getting any of those though but, I like how there adding more then just 4 games a month now though.

Here's the updated games:





Does Nintendo not realize we've played almost every single one of these games? I mean come on, who hasn't played Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda? This is a terrible selection of games...I don't own NES Play Action Football, but I don't like Football.

I would get Super Punch Out if it could be played on the Wii U menu. Club Nintendo really needs some better games though.
