Mario Party 2 Joins the Club Nintendo Rewards Gang

What? The first two rounds were pretty good. And now we switch over to crap?

@ XCWarrior
You called Mario Party 2 crap. You must die.

Well, mario party 2 is not a bad game at all, but only two games nintendo...C'mon.

Damn I thought this was announcing Mario Party 3 for Virtual Console. This is totally useless to me not only because I'm not American, but because I already have the awesome game known as Mario Party 2.

mario party 2 ummmmm

Darn... I just got OoT 3D yesterday, which put me at 110 coins. I was all excited to get another game just in time for my birthday and it turns out I can't.

I was hoping for a 3DS VC game. MP2 is decent though I'll probably save up my coins or get that 3DS/DS game case.

@James
The 3DS game case is the only new reward other than the games. The notebooks and pencase thing have been there since the site was redesigned. I may actually pick up some of these rewards. The case might be useful.

Great, the first time that they only have 2 games, the main one is one I already have :/. Is Art Academy worth getting?

@11. I you love drawing and painting, then yes.

Too bad I already own both of these ...

I really, really want that game card case. I have done ever since it was added to Club Nintendo in Japan, so hopefully it'll come to our Stars Cataogue next.

The games last all month, ending on the 29th.

I need more coins

The only thing I'd be getting would be the Game Case. Otherwise, I would've wanted to get Mario Party 2...if I had WiFi connection to my Wii.

Edit: Plus, I hope Club Nintendo will provide a better selection next month. Four from last month was good enough while two is too short. For the least part, I have the Platinum Elite Status.

Yay! I don't think I've downloaded anything since the end of 2010, and now I can pick up the best Mario Party for free, yahoo!

Dang, only 2 games? Ah well I'm saving for the zelda posters.

I'm not getting MP2 since I already own it on cart, but I recommend it. It's one of the series' best.

Only two? Come on! Drawing is my least favorite sort of art, and the only 3DS title for me to choose from. Have to wait a whole month now for something else.

I really like the look of the game card case. I'm definitely getting that! I've been in the market for one for a while but they're all so damn ugly! I finally found the one that suits me perfectly! And it doesn't hurt that its an official Nintendo product. I buy the official stuff instead of 3rd party crap whenever I can.

I prefer Mario Party 3 over MP2 any day
anyone agree or disagree?

couldn't mario party 3 go as virtual console on the 3ds?

Awesome. I always thought ART Academy was too expensive. This is the best way I can get it. I LOVE CLUB NINTENDO

Dam it. I bought 3 3DS game cases last week. They were only $4.98 each at Amazon and hold 22 games and 2 SD cards and 2 styluses each, but still, I would have gotten at least 1 of these cases. Oh well, 250 coins for next months games I guess.

Actually, I think I might grab Art Academy. Been wanting it for awhile.

Thank you Club Nintendo - will u marry me?

Mario Party 2 uses the Classic Controller? Great, and mine just broke....

Mario Party doesn't work for me - I only own 2 Classic Controllers, and have no intention of running out to buy more for one game.

Art Academy is a tough call. If interested in lessons, the full DS game can be had very cheaply these days so that you wouldn't have to worry about missing the "second semester". If interested in the drawing tools, Colors! 3D is coming soon and seems like it might provide some very interesting ideas not found here. Art Academy for free is still tempting... but not sure it's a sale.

But those 3DS game cases? I'm in love. Of the three new rewards offered, those are the clear winner in my mind.

The game card case is actually pretty cool. I'd need about three of them to fit all of our DS and 3DS games. It's cool that each case can have a different cover. I'll probably wait until around May though in case other cool things come out. I'll have to use 400 of my almost 2000 points at that point so they don't expire.

Good update, but nothing for me this time. Just ordered that RAD game card case though.

Ok I don't want the 3DS game card holder. I NEED the 3DS game card holder. I may go buy some stuff to get it.

I'm definately getting MP2, undecided on Art Acadamy since I've already got the DS cartrage version. I'll probably end up getting the 3ds game case too

I already have both games, they're not crappy at all.
Even if it is a smaller selection, it's still a very good one.

Getting that case! The one I got for DS game cards has been nothing but useful, and it cost more than twice as many coins.

I really want that 3DS case. I want Mario Party 2 as well, but I'd rather get the actual N64 cart, because finding 4 classic controllers to play multiplayer would be a nightmare.

The 3DS case looks lovely. The Zelda slip cover is droolworthy, even. I'm just a bit hesitant because I have no practical need for cart cases such as these.

Mario Party 2!!! Great game

Good thing February is "short" month, nothing I want this month. "Party" games are not my thing.

Fond memories indeed, but I may pass on Mario Party 2. Played it to death back in the day, burning me out on the entire franchise for years to come.

Art Academy could be fun (it'd be better on an XL's larger screen, but I digress). I could use it to move up from drawing stick people in Swapnote.

And my sister just got Mario Party 2 with her half of a points card that we split a couple weeks ago. Ah well, we've been having fun with it and I don't have enough coins. I might have 150 by the end of the month though but I don't want to get Mario Party 2 again. If you have somebody to play it with then get Mario Party 2. It actually is rather fun.

Slightly curious about Art Academy but I think I'll save my coins for next month. If art lessons and books haven't rescued my pathetic art skills yet then I don't think a touch screen will either.

I'll admit, I was hoping for some 100 coin games again but this is a pretty good month. Mario Party 2 is fun. At least they didn't give Mario World, the the other VC game I just bought. If it was MP2 and Mario World then I would be quite annoyed.

And hey, that case is pretty cool. Still not worth wasting my coins when they've had a pretty good run with choosing good VC games.

Another game I already have?

Seriously?! I already have mario party 2 and I don't feel like getting the other game either

The mario party 2 game isnt wifi online is it? also cant you use 4 gamecube controllers instead of the classic controllers?

WiFi: No.
GameCube Controllers: Yes, you can use any combination of GameCube controllers and Classic controllers you want.

Hope this helps people who are uncertain if they should get the retail or DSiWare version of Art Academy. It's from the official UK site of the game. (I don't think the American versions should be different.)

Better wait until March.

LET'S HAVE A PARTY! :3

I'm not interested in either of the games, but I grabbed the game case.

I ordered four of the game cases! I plan on using both of the Zelda designs, the Mario and Luigi design, and the Nintendo 3DS design.

Consider me sold. Been looking to scoop this one up.

The games don't interest me, but I love how that game cart case has switchable covers.

Well, I'm definitely not spending my coins on either of these games. Better luck next month I guess.

Only two games? Ah well. At least this gives me a good reason to pick up Mario Party 2!

Why, oh WHY can't there be an interesting game that I don't already have/can play? Why?

Meh I'll pass cause my friend has it.

Third dissapointing month in a row Nintendo.
I swear there better be something for me in March! I'll go look at that case everyone is talking about.

got the game case in the first hour it was release but sadly i only got enough coins to buy one game,my wii is broken so no point in MP2 and not so sure on AA

mario party 2 is THEE best mario party
well, its the most solidly built, and the roller coaster thing will take you forever to beat

I waited the first two rounds to see if they would make available a game I truly wanted, but now I'm afraid I will ever see one.

Too bad I have this on my N64 already. Plus I'm not a Club Nintendo member yet... sigh...

Hm... Maybe the case. although I have 15 games (16 with RE Revelations) so it will fill up in no time.

Cool, I'll have to check out AA, or perhaps it's game cart brother.

Mario Party 2 is such a good game

The case looks really nice, I got it and it's Awesome from the looks of it

Disappointed in the games, I liked Mario Party 2 but I already have it.

I'm getting the 3DS card case though, it looks nice~ Ironically, I was just thinking earlier today that I really needed to store my 3DS games separately from my DS games.

I unfortunately already have a pretty sweet game case (which is incidentally smaller than the one show here, holds 22 games and 2 sd cards). Also, whats the logic of giving us Mario Party 2 when Mario Party 9 is about to come out in March? Now I wish I had picked up Xevious and Kirby's Dream land. We've been getting less games since the first month, I consider last month to be only 3 games because I don't really need 2 copies of Dr. Mario....4 games, 3 games, 2 games. In march, maybe none? I really was hoping for 3D classic excitebike or Paper Mario 64...those would be sweet,

oo ooo ooo, I just got a rad idea, how about The Last Story and Pandora's Tower as downloadable games for the wii? I would shell out a ton of coin for that lol.....

Well I have that game already, but thanks Club Nintendo. But I want Mario Party (1) and 3.

Personally, back in the late N64 days, I found MP 2 to be somewhat short.
I got much more enjoyment out of the original MP, followed by MP 3.

Mario Party 2 is the BEST Mario Party. MP3 is pretty good too, but 4 would prove to be the end of the classic mario party era.

r they going to release any club nintendo redeeming game for dsiware? can u only redeem games for wiiware and eshop??

Thank god I already downloaded MP2 before this happened. Time to par-tay!
