Club Nintendo's June Rewards Bring Out More Retro Goodies

Finally something worth my coins. I have wanted to try a f-zero game for awhile and Super Mario bros 3 is just plain old fun.

Darn it, why can't Europe have cool rewards like this... Oh well, I did just get a Mario notebook, so I can't complain.

getting Super Mario Bros. 3 so when it comes to Wii U I can get it for $1

nintendo deleted my club nintendo account because i live in a country called the "Philippines"... (sigh)....

@DefHalan: Thinking the same thing but with F-Zero

I have all of them except link and launch.

I have yet to play an F-Zero game, so I just might pick that up.

dang I already have return of samus >.>

I wish they'd bring mario 3 to 3ds; it's not like it can't play nes games

Please somebody reply, I got a WiiU, If I use a Wii code in the WiiU's Wii channel will it work ?

just got super mario rpg at the last min... itis one of the best rpgs ever

Nothing for me this time around. I'll just go ahead and let my coins rack up for next month.

@ibrahimman0

Yes, also you will be able to get the discount when you upgrade it to the Wii U VC version

Random tat.

When (and where) will the Gold / Platinum prizes become available to choose from?

no love for metroid.....sad

So I have a question - if I redeem this on the Wii part of my Wii U - how do I transfer the game to the Wii U part of my Wii U when the Wii U version comes out?

I understand there is a process moving Wii to Wii U for VC - how does that work when I'm moving it to the same device, but different OS?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

@DefHalan How does that work - if I redeem on Wii part of Wii U how do I move it over when Wii U version is available?

@DefHalan Me too! Hope they release it soon on the Wii U VC. Did this with last month's Super Mario RPG as well!

@crazyj2312 IKR, I want SMB3 on 3DS.

I already have SMB3 and F Zero on my Wii VC, and even then, it isn't worth it. Maybe if it was SMB3 for the 3DS, that's more of a game I'd like to take around with me.

I just want to know what the platinum gift is this year. I want it to be something cool because I have spent tons of money on Nintendo games this last year haha.

I'll probably go with Fzero X since I don't have a N64.

I downloaded F-Zero X. I love it when N64 games are offered up on Club Nintendo.

Dang. You wait for a whole month to see the new set of games and there ain't one you want.

picked super mario bros 3 and hope they release it on Wii U soon

@FernandoMachado When: Between June 30/July 1 Where: club.nintendo.com What: Haven't been announced yet.

Including one of the greatest platformers ever made??? Can't agree more. I'm getting hyped for this.

So for the 3DS points our choices are a black and white Metroid game that was the weakest of all the handheld games. Or a 3 year old puzzle game with mediocre ratings.

Double blah. I feel like I am wasting time doing surveys for 10 coins at a time.

Sweet I may get SMB3 or try F-zero X

I have half, and the other half I ain't interested in. I tried F-Zero GBA - I can't race worth crap on that series.

I prefer to spend my coins on something physical. I'm currently saving up for the Game and Watch collection 2.

When will they start giving away Wii U downloads? I haven't turned my Wii on in a year.

@UnseatingKDawg, the 3D F-Zero games are very different from the 2D ones. It's still a difficult series, but the fundamentals are very different, in my opinion.

F-Zero X (and its Gamecube successor) rely on boosting, which uses your health up each time. The courses are very three dimensional, too, with some tracks in the shape of anything from a half-pipe to a corkscrew.

What is Link N Launch?

I would say Super Mario Bros 3, but I only own a Wii Mini so that's not happening, so I'll get Metroid II for my 3DS, it's an awesome game and probably one of my favourite GB games.

@Wilford111 It's a puzzle style game, click on the link and you'll see what it is.

Pretty cool, if you go to download the Metroid II game, it has a review quote from NintendoLife! Doesn't that just make you happy?

@FernandoMachado At The end of the Month on the club nintendo site as long as you hit gold or platinum it will alert you when you log on.

@Mecha_Boo @bahooney thanks loves it's my first year as a member and iv managed to grab the platinum status!

Hmm..I have been eyeing Link and Launch for years now. Might be time to pick it up.

I already got Metroid II on my 3DS and I don't want the other game. I don't have a Wii/U either so nothing for me.

Everybody absolutely needs to download F-Zero X!!! It's amazing! I have the cart and I'm still taking this offer! Getting SMB3 more!

I don't have enough coins for any of these right now, but I already have Super Mario Bros. 3 & Metroid II: the Return of Samus, so I'm good.

For Fzero GX, can I use the wii u tablet and pro controller to play the game?

Metriod II: The Return of Samus, and I'm considering F-Zero X.

I decided to get F-Zero X and even though I didn't like the GBA F-Zero I am finding this one to be quite fun so far.

I'll pass. Not really into VC games, and there's no room for anymore DSiWare games on my 3DS. I wish they would offer more 3DS Ware through Club Nintendo, especially because the capacity for DSiWare on the 3DS is so low, and the process of transferring between system memory and SD card is just a chore.

I wish they would bring Bubble Bubble either as reward or to the eshop.

I already have all those games except Link n Launch, and F-Zero X (which I will be purchasing)

Link N Launch

I got Link n Launch, mainly because it was made by Intelligent Systems.. And it looks like a blast..

For a second, by looking at the picture on the screen, I thought we were finally getting Mario Bros. 3 on 3DS like Japan. Damn. Nothing for me because my account is dried out thanks to Mario RPG.

What a great line-up! I don't have any of those, I wonder how much I'll get.

Wait, I'm less than a hundred coins from getting the game & watch, I could get the remaining coins if I finished the post-play surveys, arrghgh which one should it dooo...

The only F Zero I have played is the Ambassador GBA one, and I did not like it. So anyone thinks I should get the one offered here? Thanks in advance.

Just DL'd F-Zero X and so far, I'm enjoying it.

@tchaten
You can't "move it over". Impossible. This is how it works. VC games on a Wii console can be moved over to the Wii environment OS on the Wii U, where they will stay forever. However, when the game comes out on Wii U VC, you simply get a discount if you so desire to purchase the Wii U version of the VC game. From what I've heard, the discount only appies if the game originated on a Wii console and was transferred over to the Wii U. No one has confirmed whether the discount will still apply if the game wasn't transferred. I'm curious to find out myself. Nintendo claims the eShop can "detect" whether you transferred the game from a Wii to your WiiU, though I wouldn't doubt if it simply detects the game's presence on the Wii environment OS on the Wii U. Only one way to find out!

Why not put Super Mario 3 on the 3DS VC? I would have took that in a second.

Have Super Mario Bros 3 on VC, and F-Zero X on N64, so that basically just leaves Metroid

@sinalefa Even if you didn't like the GBA one you should definitely try this one. It's a million times better and more fun. Trust me, I'm a big F-zero fan and the GBA ambassador game isn't that great of an entry in the series. F-zero X however. well! TruenoGT summed it up nicely! Get it!

I also got SMB3 already transferred from my Wii.

Some of my coins were about to expire, so I spent them on Metroid 2 and Link 'n' Launch.

"why don't we get monthly game offers?"

I wish smb 3 was on 3ds!!

@JaxonH that is great news - so titles that are on the Wii partition will be discounted when bought for Wii U.

Curious to those that have gotten discounted titles - do the VC titles stay on the Wii and simply get added to the Wii U with that upgrade charge?

@FFL2and3rocks how often do coins expire? I thought they lasted forever ...

yeah same i would of got smb3 if it was on the 3DS since i have played it before that or on wii u =[

so nothing for me again low on coin too D=

Is Metroid 2 any good

@tchaten They expire on June 30th if you've had them for two years. So any coins you've received before June 30th 2011 will expire.
At Club Nintendo, click "Account & Coins" next to where your number of coins is displayed, and then "Coins & Status" to see if any of yours are expiring.

@FFL2and3rocks Oh good to know new to Nintendo - hit platinum pretty quick after getting a Wii U, 3DS XL and some game - now I'm saving up those codes until after the Club Nintendo Year ends - shame you can't store up coins for a decade

@Retro_on_theGo

Thanks for the advice.I have like 850 coins so I guess I can afford it. Hopefully I won't regret it later on.

Had to spend 800 coins before the end of this month so I got 1 game last month & 2 this month along with the shoelaces.

Sadly I don't have enough coins at the moment. I could redeem some more but I already have Platinum for the year and none of the surveys expires before July so I'm waiting until then to do them. So it looks like I'm sitting this round out, and such a nice round it was, too... -wistful-

I'm waiting NOW that I actually got my 3DSXL WHOOOOO HOOOO !!! see if Kirby come's out (again) for my coins!!!

Why no Wii U love? I don't get it.

@AppealPlay the wii games are playable on wii u. It's the same thing. I just nabbed f-zero X at the last second for my wii u. My wii is busted.
