Topic: Club Nintendo Rewards. ^_^

Okay so I gotta decide between getting Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and New Super Mario Bros. 2. I already beat Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii and loved it, and while I didn't like the original New Super Mario Bros., I liked New Super Mario Bros. U, and the coin collecting aspect of NSMB2 has always interested me. SD card space isn't an issue.

I've never played NSMB2, but I can tell you about DKCR3D because I recently started playing it. The difference in graphics and frame rate is noticeable if you're used to the Wii version, but it's not too bad. I was never bothered by the motion controls in the Wii version. I also never found the game to be too difficult, so I do think the Wii version is better. Despite that, DKCR3D has a few things going for it:

• Portability
• Difficulty settings
• Traditional controls

I also think it has a few extra levels, but I'm not that far into the game. I think you're better off going with NSMB2 if you've already played the Wii version of DKCR, but it's a decent port of a great game.

Looking for some opinions on Doc Louis' Punch Out. I know this may be my last change in a while to get this, and I have very fond memories of the NES Punch Out. Is it worth 250 coins, or should I just grab NES Remix or Super Metroid (neither of which I have played - yes I had an SNES and never played Super Metroid

Nintendo didn't really say anything about future additions or elite status awards (aside from being rewarded in April)

... why is it that every time I think to go redeem a code the site is under maintenance? -.-

That hat looks depressed.

I do wish I had hit Platinum status, but I can't really think of any games to retroactively buy that I would even play. I ended up 65 coins short. I'm also probably going to get one or two 3DS-compatible games with my coins instead of Wii U games, since my brother (who lives over an hour and a half away) has our Wii U. My roommate has a Wii U, but of course that's not mine.

Managed to get some extra coins so now I can get another game for the low price of 150 coins, to think now that once next week is over it will be the last month before elite rewards are announced and the Mewtwo promo ends, hopefully we get everything early April.

Whatever happened to the Smash Bros. discs? I registered both the Wii U and 3DS copies of the game, and it said the discs were there, but I never got anymore information on that.

When did you register them?

"Registration for the soundtrack CD ended on 1/13/2015" so if you registered both games after that date then you can't get them, as for people registered before that date would of gotten a thing you can click on so you could order the CD's, the CD's ship out next month.

Never mind. They are in my order inquiry. Thanks for the feedback, anyway. I was pretty sure I went through all the right steps to get them, but the notification just disappeared one day, so I thought I missed out on getting them.

So I'm at a big fat 295 coins! arggghh! will wait a week or so and see if a survey rolls in that I forgot about. Granted I've used almost 2000...

so therefore a question: If I go buy something off the wii U VC (say a Nintendo game, or maybe even not one) will I get the free 10 coins or so for doing a survey before april 1st? I've got $30 or so, so may just buy a game to get another free game (especially since VC sales are so rare).

You will still earn coins on any product released before January 20th, downloads included. So, yes. Just be sure to buy something that was released before that date.

Just a reminder, but all Club Nintendo members will only be able to earn coins until the last day of March and the elite status items will be available on April 1st.

Edit: I think that we can expect some sort of April Fools joke just before Nintendo announces the real platinum rewards.

If you wanted to pick up the Animal Crossing Mini Playing Cards, you're out of luck. It's now the second item to bite the bullet in the final catalogue.

And what was the first?

The 2013 Platinum Poster Set.

Thanks for the heads up, just checked the thing and they never said it before I don't think, early April is good...now about Mewtwo...

Mewtwo was cancelled!
