Club Nintendo Rewards are Updated for October

I'd rather spend my coins on some Limited Edition physical item rather than games. I usually purchase the games I want. Just my thoughts, as I'm sure some of you are different. I'm grateful for this service Nintendo provides to their fans.

Eh, maaaybe Super Mario Kart.

Why are these not Wii U versions yet of VC games.

Great collection of games.

However, yet again, Nintendo has a chance to embrace the Wii U, and show that it is their current system and priority, yet they choose to neglect it. It's hard to encourage other people to support the system when Nintendo doesn't yet treat it like it's their current system.

Dang, I've been waiting for the Legend of Zelda on Wii. But they decide to release the 3DS version instead? Good grief.

I would've gone for LOZ if it wasn't 50 coins more and wasn't in the 3ds since I kinda prefered console games to be in the console system.....though then again...
Leaning toward Thruspace and Super Mario Kart.
Those thinking about Touch Solitare I recommend paying it with money instead of coins. It's $2.00

Yay zelda i been meaning to get that game i guess i get it after i register WWHD

So no Super Mario Kart for Wii U this month then?

More and more, I reckon it'll be our Xmas update game...

I wish our EU rewards were this generous. I've registered over 30 games and I have enough points for a Luigi ring-bound notepad.

Mario art time!!! I didn't pick it up in Dec. '11, so may as well get it now! And don't forget the Wii U discount!

I guess I'll get Zelda. Maybe. I dunno... They never have games I really want on the club Nintendo reward system.

Definitely get Touch Solitaire if you like Solitaire (dur). It's a very good Solitaire game, simple and effective, no frills and stuff that detract from the game.

Everyone should pick up Super Mario Kart, That game is awesome.

I'm still hoarding my 2400+ coins, because I have most of those. Still good rewards though!

Already have 5 different versions of Zelda, including that one, and I already have Super Mario Kart on a cartridge, and my Wii. Never heard of the other two. I'm with the others on saying why aren't these for the Wii U instead of the Wii. I really don't understand their decisions sometimes

Maybe Thruspace, since I'm pretty sure Ketzal's Corridors (which I have) is its spiritual successor. Not interested in Solitare. Already got Mario Kart previously on CN, and got Zelda through the Ambassador program.

I've been holding on to my points hoping something nice would come to Club Nintendo but since there isn't too much I want I just buy the codes for these games and give them to my friends.

Just got 2 copies of The Legend of Zelda today.

Utter garbage.

I picked up Super Mario Kart months ago on Club Nintendo and am an Ambassador on the 3DS so nothing interests me here. Wish Nintendo would have put Super Mario Kart on Wii U VC by now, the releases of late have been less than stellar. But at least we got Earthbound.

Nothing for me this month.

Mario Kart again?

I'm actually excited about Legend of Zelda for 3DS. Another Zelda game I can carry around

Now they release Legend of Zelda? I was tired of waiting so I bought it in May. I refuse to buy any more Nintendo-published Virtual Console games until I see a good one up for coins. Not against Nintendo or anything, I'd just hate to spend my money on a game that would become available in coins three days later....

I would take Zelda if it was the Wii U copy, I just don't understand why the Wii U is still being neglected?

I'm an Ambassador, so no Zelda for me (though I liked it, but not as much as II). For Super Mario Kart, it was great for the time, so I think I'll be sticking with the future titles (except for Super Circuit, which I'd prefer SMK to by a pint). The rest of the titles, I'd care less for.

So overall, nothing for me. The last game I bought from Club Nintendo was Starfox 64, which was way back in June. Come on, CN, gimme Paper Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Super Mario 64...and then I'll be happy.

Nothing again. Total bummer.

Already redeemed Super Mario Kart - never played this and looking forward to it - sad that Zelda isn't for Wii U or Wii as I already have this on my 3DS

Gotta get this. Gonna get this , YUP!

How about some actual new rewards not games most people already have.

Nintendo's rewards catalog is kinda pathetic. I'm always hoping they'll put something awesome on there... like some Zelda action figures or a replica Samus arm cannon... ANYTHING but the selection that is currently on there. The only thing I've received that I actually wanted was a few Mario themed washcloths... I'm missing the third and they never restocked them... Like I really want nintendogs greeting cards... seriously.

ThruSpace looked interesting, but I doubt I'll pick it up. Super Mario Kart looks interesting, but since I already own MKWii, I really see no reason to buy it.

Meh

@Nintenjoe64

[Tries not to laugh]

I should pick up LoZ since I've never played the original and I now have a 3ds. Considering Mario Kart for the nostalgia but I may skip and wait on better options.

I'd like to know when Nintendo is going to stop offering Wii and Wii VC games and start offering Wii U and Wii U VC games.

Thanks for not updating any of the crappy club rewards Club Nintendo of NA...

Glad I got a copy of Zoda's Revenge last month. I might get LOZ for my nephew's 3DS. Nothing for me.

i rly wish i would have picked up super mario rpg, super smash bros, and f zero earlier this summer

Fast_45er
Well, seeing as the Wii U is backwards-compatible they don't really 'need' to, the 3DS rewards include DSi games after all. They might after the Wii U has been out a while longer and started picking up steam.

Until they start offering Wii U VC or Wii U games...I'll hold my pts.

Why isn't Nintendo supporting the Wii U.? Why aren't there any Wii U Virtual Console rewards yet? SMW3, SMB, Zelda(NES), Ice Climber, etc. are on on Wii U's Virtual Console. Why not put those games up for rewards?

@Zombie_Barioth That is true, but at this point I'd rather not get the Wii VC version of a game when there is or will be a superior version with off-TV play and save states. That's not really my point though. My point is that the Wii has already gone out of production, and the Wii U needs all the support it can get. I know it'll come in time at least.

To be completely honest, I'm relieved its not Urban Champion again. They must've been drunk to put that game up for grabs over 7 times.

Being a Member of Disney Movie Rewards kinda kills the excitement of being a Club Nintendo Member...

I'm getting a couple new games this Saturday, (hopefully) it should bump me up to 150 coins so I can get The Legend of Zelda!

I guess I'lll get LOZ. I've been meaning to give that game another try anyway...

Very blah again... Sigh maybe one day ill spend the rest of my 900+ points that ive been sitting on or else its gonna be wall to wall posters in my room :/

I already have 2 of them, and as for the other 2, I own these ones which are superior https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2010/02/5_in_1_solitaire_dsiware and https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/eshop/speedthru_potzols_puzzle

They keep repeating games. I got the solitaire game off of CN before.

@Fast_45er
I get what your saying, all I'm saying is I don't think they'll stop offering Wii games even if they add Wii U games. They'll probably wait until the Wii U VC games are out for a while first and had a chance to sell, meanwhile people might upgrade the Wii versions they've given away so they'll still make money.

Are they not offering out the 3DS cases on club nintendo anymore? I've been looking for over two weeks now and it's still not there. Just the Animal Crossing DS game case is there which is a mockery because it can't hold 3DS games. (Face palm).....

@WindWakerLink
They always run out quickly, sadly. The cases seem to be some of the most popular items.

If I download Super Mario Kart from the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii U, will I be able to upgrade that when the game comes out on Wii U VC? Or does that only work from a Wii to a Wii U?

Dang I was hoping for F-Zero X this time...

Already have Super Mario Kart and I don't really want the NES Zelda on 3DS.

Guess there's always next month.

Claim Wii VC game = discount when released for Wii U.

@Zombie_Barioth Yeah, that makes sense. Speaking of Wii VC games, I wish I could play DKC 1 and 2. After I sent my Wii U in for repairs, it no longer lets me download them. It says "SD card error" so I tried a different SD card, and it does the same thing. It ain't a problem with the SD card. When I tried downloading them to the system memory, they didn't even show up. I'm not sending the system back in only to lose all my game data again. Wish they'd release DKC 1-3 for Wii U VC, but it doesn't look likely since they were removed from the Wii shop.

@steamhare "Mmhmm. Had i realized back then, I would have gotten two or three cases. Oh well... I refuse to Ebay these cases, so I'm stuck for now."

Ehhh... Maybe TLOZ...

I already own all the games except "ThruSpace", whatever that is...

@Warruz Dude, for real.

Nothing worth spending my coins on and the backlog is held up with some big games. So many games to beat, so little time!

This is the first month where I have all of them. Oh well...I guess this means more points for next month

Guys, we should not be complaining about Nintendo's offerings again. Or, some hardcore fans are going to slash at us by saying things like "You should feel thankful that Nintendo gives you free stuff. Nintendo has absolutely no obligations to give out any free stuff." We should be happy with WHATEVER Nintendo gives in the Nintendo club. As a customer we have no rights to complain about Nintendo.

Definitely picking up Zelda, more free VC games please Nintendo

Why the hell don't they do this in Europe? We get badges, pencils and rubbers (erasers)
Utter garbage.

@GreatPlayer
Wah wah wah.
Grow up already. You don't get everything you want in life, and (while you have ever right to complain and commiserate) acting like a baby about it doesn't make any friends. There are people who don't already own some of these games who actually do want them... if you fall outside of that group then suck it up and wait until next month.

@WindWakerLink
Ah! That would be sweet if the 3DS game card cases came back into stock. Especially if NoA brought over the new cover art that Japan got. Heck... I'd probably pay just for a package of cover art inserts to switch up what's in my current case. keeping my fingers crossed

sigh come on something a bit better nothing for me this month

I don't have the type of controller for the Wii to play Mario Kart... I have the game for SNES and would have bought it had it supported the Wii U... I would have got it as well if it were on the 3DS.

Well... this is a pretty crappy list. I considered Zelda for my 3DS, but I think I'd rather just buy it somewhere down the line later instead of using my coins for it.

I would have also considered Super Mario Kart, but I don't own a Wii.

And I was excited about the rewards this month. Sigh. So much for my excitement.

@ejamer
Grow up already. Not everyone likes everything about Nintendo and want it offer. Customers always have the right to voice out their opinion to Nintendo. If you don't like here then don't read people's comments here.

@GreatPlayer
Hahaha... I don't have to read people's comment, but I'm fully entitled to keep reading. Just like I'm fully entitled to point out how silly people are, whining online about childish entitlement problems. So keep on posting. I could use a few more laughs.

"Wah wah! Poor me! I've got Club Nintendo coins and nothing to spend them on. How come Nintendo doesn't care about me?"
Yep. People want to complain, they are free to keep going as long as they want.

@ejamer Lol... I can then keep laughing about how Nintendo's idolators keep lick its toes! :>

"You have no right to say anything bad about Nintendo. No gamers should complain Nintendo. Everyone should chant: "Nintendo lives forever, forever, and forever!"

@GreatPlayer
Wow. I overestimated your maturity/intelligence last time. Apologies. I'll just go back to the toes so that you can complain with fear or reason or rationality infringing upon you. Good luck - I'm sure that crying on fan forums will improve your lot (or popularity, or coolness, or whatever you hope to achieve) a good deal.

The only thing Club Nintendo has been doing lately is running out of stock on stuff. I really wish they'd do something else like the DS Game and Watch collections or something nice and collectible that is worth having and keeping instead of cheap stuff that will easily get lost, worn out, or not worth having.

@ejamer Lol... No matter what people say, the truth is the truth - Nintendo customers do NOT have the right to voice out their opinion nowadays, because there are lots of Nintendo police patrolling around these forums. I love idolators who post things like this: "Yes, many of the games have been offered before. Yes, maybe you already own the ones that interest you most. But this is a solid selection of software being ESSENTIALLY GIVING AWAY TO FANS."

Idolators are even ignorant of the fact that Club Nintendo is a mean for the company to encourage gamers to buy more Nintendo games, thus maximizing the profits of the company. Nothing wrong with this intention, but idolators often personalize their relationship with the profit-maximizing multi-national organization by saying things like "essentially GIVING AWAY free stuffs to fans." How generous Nintendo is to you!

These behaviours reminds me of a period of developmental stage (Animism) when a small girl fantasizing a personal relationship with an inanimate doll. Nothing wrong with this kind of fantasy though, so keep doing it. Lol...

@GreatPlayer
I think you've missed the point entirely. I'm not defending Nintendo in any way; I'm pointing out that your attitude (and that of others complaining here) isn't reasonable.

You have every right to complain. You've been exercising that right non-stop and will likely continue to ad nauseam. But complaining about an optional rewards program on an unofficial fan site is beyond meaningless. What is it going to accomplish?

Calling you out for making selfish and childish statements isn't the same as defending Nintendo, and defending Nintendo isn't the same as idolizing them. But obviously the differences are lost on you.

Your last post hasn't changed in tone - it's not only whining that you don't get what you want (without regard to what others have or want), but continuing to attack anyone who thinks being content with what they've purchased "as is" is sufficient. As if somehow your right to irrationally complain on a fan-based website is worth more than theirs to talk about something the enjoy and are passionate about. Newsflash: if you want to complain, find an appropriate forum or a place where it will actually make a difference or get over yourself and realize that not everyone shares your viewpoint.

But hey, it's your life. If you choose to waste it being a spoiled malcontent who tries to put down people who enjoy something, have fun with that.

@CrimsonSkidmark Damn straight! ^o^

The same cool games that most people have already that have the coins and something like touch solitaire. What a filthy name for an e for everybody game.

@ejamer As obvious in your reply, you do not see problems in your behaviours. You continue to slash at people who want to complain about Nintendo's offering. This is apparent in your comment: "I'm pointing out that your attitude (and that of others complaining here) isn't reasonable... complaining about an optional rewards program on an unofficial fan site is beyond meaningless. What is it going to accomplish?"

If you selfishly do not want people to post anything complaining about Nintendo, set up your own website, allowing only the people you like into the forum, rather than putting people down like what you did in a public forum that is open to everyone and any positive or negative comments. Do you actually own the forum here? If not, you need to reflect on your insolent attitudes towards others.

If you look closely my posts here, I was not complaining about Nintendo - I was pointing out the obnoxious behaviours of people who do not permit others to post anything that complain about Nintendo (i.e., people exactly like you). I was laughing at your behaviours.

I feel sorry for anyone who live with people like you as they are under the rule of dictatorship. Your attitude reflects what you are in real life - overbearing and domineering.

Hey, if you do not want people to complain about Nintendo's offering in Club Nintendo, good luck with that. I like people here still keep complaining no matter what you do anyway!

Cheers!

@GreatPlayer
Pot, kettle? But hey, it's all in fun anyway. You practically begged to have someone argue with you from that silly first post and it would've been a slow day otherwise.

@ejamer You are funny. Who can start this line of posts if someone does not constantly start berating others for their complaining anyway? lol...

@GreatPlayer
"Guys, we should not be complaining about Nintendo's offerings again.

We should be happy with WHATEVER Nintendo gives in the Nintendo club. As a customer we have no rights to complain about Nintendo."

That's how it started. If that's not a troll begging for help to waste some time, then it's someone who deserves to be trolled. Take your pick.

@ejamer No, no, no, dude. It starts much earlier. In multiple other posts you wrote the following:

"Yes, many of the games have been offered before. Yes, maybe you already own the ones that interest you most. But this is a solid selection of software being essentially given away to fans. It's a shame that all people can manage to post are complaints.

"you are free to complain and whine all you want while getting down on the SMT/FE promotion. And I'm free to think that your opinion doesn't matter.

"People complain about the reward selection every year.
When the exclusive Punch-Out!! digital mini-game was offered, which has never been offered again, people complained. When the prize was a cool set of buttons, people complained. When expanded the Gold rewards to include a bunch of free digital games, people complained. Now that we are finally - for the first time ever in North America? - getting a soundtrack CD from Club Nintendo, people complain.
Well I can't hear you, because the disturbing tones of Majora's Mask are creeping me out at full volume!"

You were targeting at several people in your posts.

In this post I was not even targeting particularly at you, and you become hyped and start complaining. I was warning others not to complain anymore or else people like you will start a long series of "moral" lecturing, just like what you are doing now.

I have decided not to continue replying to your comments as it was a waste of my time and other people's time as well. You can feel free to continue this conversation. Other people will still continue their complain anyway, ignoring what you say.

Take care!

@GreatPlayer
Aw. You'll be missed. Oh wait... got that one confused. No, you won't.

After getting Super Mario Kart for 100 coins back when Club Nintendo first started offering Virtual Console/Ware games in America, it kinda feels like a rip-off to see them offer it again for 150...
I might've considered Zelda 1, (would be nice to have a portable version) but 150 coins doesn't seem like a "bargain" for a 5 dollar game. (Especially one I already own.)

I already have super mario kart & Legend of zelda... and I quite frankly don't care about the other two games

I dont like how they did the wii vc dlc when it comes to the eShop on wii u. Its pretty annoying to have to go back and play something on a different app and not have it free when ever nintendo decides to re-release it on the eShop for what ever pricing...

I have thru-space but never got very good at it. Have mario kart as well.. No 3ds yet so i guess this isnt anything special this time around. Plus wasnt mario on there before or am i imagining things ~

@ejamer "New Cover Art?? Oooh. I didn't know of this. I must check this out!!"

@WindWakerLink
This is the only link I could find right now showcasing the new covers:
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=211734
I love the Animal Crossing art!

There are also these old covers that never made it to North America:
http://tinycartridge.com/post/17128830490/extra-3ds-card-case-18-covers-for-japan-click-for
None of those selections were that impressive to me though.
