May's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now

Yay! I already started a forum post about it! Playing Pictobits now

Urban Champion?! What the... did Nintendo seriously lose their minds? Dude...

Some of the comments on Urban Champion lol.

Yeah this group kind of makes me wish that I would have gotten one of last months games. Oh well.

You no longer have any excuse not to own PiCTOBiTS.

I'll probably pick up PiCTOBiTS sometime this month; I'll see how many coins I have left to spend first.

EU is still waiting for Snowpack Park!

And I'm wasting those expensive star coins on lame 100 Points Cards which makes me feel ripped off now especially when seeing you Americans get so good deals for your coins each month.

Pictobits looks like the one to pick up this month for sure. The others are easy passes.

Nothing caught my eye, but i guess PiCTOBiTS is popular for you guys so i'll check it out. Then again, i didn't buy any games last month either.

already got UCS really didnt want to waste coins on it,might get pictobits though
but the sad thing now is that 5 dollar games are more pricey then before on CN,should of kept the 100 coins

URBAN CHAMPION? I was expecting Kid Icarus!

Snowpak Park is a great game. Give it a shot if you like Chibi Robo or Animal Crossing like games.

@dark-insanity Agree $5 games shouldn't be 150 coins, but if you have expiring coins on Club Nintendo, it's worth using them on. I have 190 expiring coins, so it makes Pictobits that much more appealing.

I'll be getting Pictobits.

Meh, I had Urban Champion as a kid back in the 80s and found it bland back then.

Rather a mixed bag. A 6 out of 10, a 7 out of 10, a 3 out of 10 and a 9 out of 10. I think I'll pick up Pictobits. That was one of the games I wanted to see come to Club Nintendo.

They did do a good job at letting me know that some downloadable games exist that I never knew existed. I never knew that Snowpack Park or that game by Intelligent Systems existed and since that seems to be what they are trying to do with Club Nintendo (not release the best of Virtual Console like some people seem to expect), I guess this month is a success? Whatever. I still want pictobits and I'm not paying any extra for it so I'm happy.

I was actually just thinking that Urban Champion was a likely choice though. Think about it. They haven't released 3DSware in a while. Most Nintendo made new 3DSware games are still new and selling well. So 3D classics are your best choice. There aren't that many though. They already did Kirby's Dream Land and I still don't think they would do 3D classics Kirby's Adventure anytime soon and Kid Icarus was just released and was supposed to be a bonus for KI:U. They waited a few weeks to release it, I don't think they would make it a bonus on top of the games you've already bought this soon. That leaves those two shooter games and this. They already released Xevious (and I have it, rather average) so they probably don't want to release Twinbee. That leaves this. It has a good star rating on the Eshop if I remember correctly (along with Pawz and Clawz: Pampered Pet Resort which shows how much you can trust those) and it is an 8-bit Nintendo game. I'm just glad they are getting it out of the way.

Pictobits is easily worth buying. I already own it, and would recommend the game to pretty much any puzzle or retro fan. The chip tunes alone make it worth having.

Eco Shooter also looks appealing (for me), but I'll probably save what coins I have left since I'm not keen on registering anything else until the Club Nintendo year starts so I can start building up for another Platinum award.

Well, darn it! I already spent money on Pictobits and Urban Champion. I was really hoping Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, or almost any SNES game would be offered.

@XCWarrior As far as I know coins don't expire. Surveys do but not coins. That's the first I've heard of that!

No Wii VC games? Don't think nothing here is for me...

Somebody please help me. I'm so tempted to get urban champion. I had it as a kid, and didn't know any better and thought it was great. Now I know better, but still want to relive those memories. I know it's going to suck, but I feel compelled to pick it up. Can somebody please tell me if there is anyting redeeming about this remake?

@ Justao76

For 150 Club Nintendo coins I'd say it's worth it. The 3D will be a nice addition and hopefully you'll get a nice nostalgia kick from it.

Or your childhood memories will be decimated.

Why can't we have Club Nintenod here in Sweden. Seriously, i buy so many Nintendo games. It's even more painful when Club Nintendo codes still comes with the games bu you can't use them.

Shouldn't Nintendo give me coins to download Urban Champion??

How many puzzles does Pictobits have?

Already have, Pictobits, so I'm done. Don't have enough coins to get everything willy-nilly anymore.

Ok Pictobits saved this package and they're finally offering 3DS downloads, so Im happy, downloading Pictobits right away. Too bad they started 3DS downloads with Urban Champion...

I've been needing an excuse to get Pictobits.

I'll definitely be playing Pictobits later.

I don't think I've ever read about ANY of these games before.Well maybe Ecoshot, I'm not sure. Not really a front page that is going to make people want to run out and join Club Nintendo now is it? Don't they at least have some crappy Mario off-shoot that at least looks good? Definitely seems the worst of the months. By far the worst on first glance.

OK, so I went back and read all of the reviews and I'm still not impressed. I would have bought Eco Shooter if it had multiplayer. Who makes a lightgun game w/o multiplayer? We have Link's Crossbow training, which also isn't multiplayer, but I'm sure is superior to this is every way should I feel the need to shoot things for an hour.

Oh well, next month has to be better, it's impossible not to be.

The games selection is getting weaker each month. Eco looks decent I guess but...

Eco is a pretty decent game, it's by Inteligent Systems (Fire Emblem, Advance Wars), it's definitely good for free. Pick it up!

Seriously? The first round was good... fluidity, etc. then it just got boring. C'mon, where are you hiding all the good games Nintendo?

Are you serious?! The one time I spend ALL my coins on a reversible pouch THESE games come out! I didn't think the games would be great this time around, but I was clearly WRONG. CURSE YOU NINTENDO!

@Tech101
Coins do expire if they're not used in two years. According to the Club Nintendo FAQ (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/club/en/faq.jsp): "Unredeemed Coins expire after 2 Club Nintendo years (July 1-June 30)"

Anyway, I'll probably be getting PiCTOBiTS. It seems like a good puzzle game and I've always wanted to check it out.

Don't have many coins so I don't think I will get either WiiWare title. Will get PiCTOBiTS, I sort of like Urban Champion so I may get it for 150 coins. Though I see how it can get boring after a few rounds.

Oy Urban Champion, the game that won't stay dead.

Wow, James guessed correctly on the Wiiware ones in a forum. Sadly I have no interest or memory on my Wii for Wiiware and have both Pictobits and Urban Champion. New physical rewards would be much appreciated.

Blast it, I already have Pictobits (listens to Credits+ in head).

As for the others, I think I'll pass.

I swear the games are getting worse and worse as the the months progress... what a disappointment .

eh. I'll try out this Pictobits that everyone is speaking of. Speaking of Club Nintendo, I have been waiting for months for them to restock the 3DS Game Card Case.

I'm actually really glad urban champion is one of them. There's not even the slightest chance that I would ever spend money on that game, so it's nice that it's free!

PiCTOBiTS is definitely the best of the bunch here. Too bad that I already own it. I am tempted to get Urban Champion yet I know that it is one of the worst games in existence. I would never spend actual money on it so dare I use my precious coins on it or would I regret doing that? Hmm...

Already have Pictobits. Besides that game this update is crap.

PiCTOBiTS is the best game they've offered besides MM

Urban Champion? Silly Nintendo, April Fools was last month.

PICTOBITS and SNOWPACK PARK are the best this time, because they're both made by SKIP who were also responsible for Chibi-Robo, Art Style and Captain Rainbow. These two games make the update - be sure to get them.

Intelligent Systems really dropped the ball on Ecoshooter. Such a short game with heavy lack of content. I was disappointed. Not the same class as Fire Emblem, or say, Pullblox. I can't understand people who favour this one and even Urban Champion above the other two. And you wonder about quality standards.
And Snowpack Park isn't a 6. The reviewer is a 6.

What a joke.

Isn't it sad that the only game I know is actually Urban Champion?

In any case, that would be the only one I would never get. My interest has been piqued to pick Pictobits. I need to read the reviews for the other two.

Wario jacked my money/coins when I was downloading(ordering) Urban champs it said"something went wrong with your order… but dont worry your coins are safe with wario"I was like fuuu———k!Hand over the money wario and no one gets hurt. Now I only have 10¢ :[ . Whos willing to give me a download code of urban champs IDC if it sucks(i thought it was good(but then i read the comments)).

oh club nintendo AU, you always dissapoint
