The Club Nintendo Rewards Are Now Updated for July

This makes me cry.

I can't buy any video game this month... I have to manage something before August 3rd...

Have all I want, won't buy any N64 games until they're confirmed for Wii U eShop.

Yay,looks like we're STILL getting DSiWare games that no one cares about.

Damn i wanted to play paper mario on my wiiu, now i have to find my wii remote.

Still no news on elite status awards though. Hopefully the trend of disappointment turns around.

Already got Paper mario so....3D kid icarus! if I had the coins...

_{geez I wish they put out x-scape. I've been eying that one for months.}

@WiiUExposed They usually take a couple months to let us know about the elite status award. Hold on to your britches.

But yeah, another month where I'm not even tempted to burn my coins. Good thing is with a new Club Nintendo year I can get back close to 1000 total.

@XCWarrior A couple months? No, it's usually by the middle of July. Last year, they were revealed on July 15th.

Why couldn't it have been Balloon Fight or Donkey Kong Jr. Math? Those are the only two Nintendo published VC games I still need from the Wii Shop Channel...

Heh, I might go for the Kid Icarus but I'm trying save my coins in the off chance something really good arrives. Is it just me, or is the Club Nintendo just a bunch of lame games for the 3DS, and games you want to play on the 3DS but only available on the Wii/WiiU?

Also, when do we get to know when we will receive our Club Nintendo Gold members reward?

Someone please enlighten me what's the difference of the 3D classics Kid Icarus and the NeS/Famicom Kid Icarus? The first one got an 8 and the NES VC got a 6 from NLife. I've never played one but I'm thinking of diving into the Kid Icarus franchise.

Metal Torrent is pretty good for shmup fans.

@outburst It works with 3D

@outburst The backgrounds are no longer a single color, a save feature, high score list and obviously 3d effect

@Captain_Toad @eleccross
So they are basically the same game but the other have better visuals? Thanks for the replies.

Paper Mario, since I don't have it yet. Awesome!

@Yamitora1 Last year we didn't find out anything until July 15th, so I imagine we'll hear about Platinum/Gold rewards by then at least.

Yawn.

Maybe Paper Mario? All I care about is my platinum reward though.

@Omarsonic9 Get Paper Mario if you can.

DK Jr. Haters will hate, but I prefer it to Paper Mario. I just wasn't into the Mario RPG games with the exception of Super Mario RPG (and even then, it's for the non-RPG stuff I liked).

Finally something I can spend at least some coins on, Kid Icarus I will get. Too bad Paper Mario is for Wii, I'd vastly prefered it for Wii U =(

Meanwhile in Europe, gotta save those stars up for a Yoshi rucksack. Only kidding, if I ever get anything physical, it's gonna be something FE -dreaming continues-

I wish I could get Paper Mario, but I don't have a Classic Controller.

I'll get Paper Mario if I can scrounge up 95 coins in the next month!

Woohoo, four more repeats! And pity on anyone who accidentally clicks Donkey Kong Jr. There hasn't been a good CN download in a very long time.

@ChrisT99 Unless you're getting it for the Wii where it supports Gamecube Controller, you're kinda out of luck since the only other option is Classic Controller.

@Iggly Guess I'm out of luck then. Oh well.

People complaining about repeats, do you realize that only nintendo published games are offered, except for newer releases, almost all of them have been there at least once

I think I just finished Paper Mario recently, though I don't recall the ending so maybe I stopped in the middle when I transferred over all my Wii stuff to Wii U. Better go back and check.

Not interested in any of the others.

I'll most likely be waiting until next month. I have 770 coins that wont expire until this time next year.

I already have 75% of these.

I will pass this time.

I'd get Kid Icarus if I didn't already have it.

Might get both Paper Mario and Kid Icarus. Its unfortunate Paper Mario won't be playable, as i don't have a classic controller, but once N64 games hit Wii U VC, I'll probably get it at a discounted price for having it on Wii mode.

@KodyDawg Engage panic mode.

They need more games every month instead of just 4. All of these coins are burning a hole in my.....errrr Club Nintendo wallet.

Sigh...I think the hanafuda cards are gone for good. ;_;

nope and hey look, we almost get as many games as Items. if you take out the crap items, there are more games then other stuff.

@KodyDawg
what's wrong with it?

Do we know when the new physical awards are coming? Gold and platinum?

@KodyDawg weird... I read that originally as 2013
lol

So many coins, and still absolutely nothing to spend them on.

Nothing for me this month. A little disappointed, but that's how these things go. Honestly, I've been pretty happy since they relisted Super Metroid a few months back (didn't have a Wii U when it was $.30). The only things I'd really be in for at this point are Link to the Past and Earthbound (please let it be Earthbound).

Definitely Paper Mario for me.

I only have 215 coins right now, but I have a post play for Picross e2 coming up soon, and I'm sure I could download a couple of more games before the month is over.

@Captain_Toad

I could send you a download code for Kid Icarus if I knew how to get in touch with you.

@Yogsoggoth OMG thank you. Try my backloggery.

Eh, I got Paper Mario. Hate playing VC in Wii Mode, but hopefully N64 comes to Wii U VC soon and I can pay to play it on the GamePad.

I already have Paper Mario on my Wii U's Wii mode, 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, and Donkey Kong Jr. on both e-Reader and 3DS. I'm not even remotely interested in Metal Torrent.

Can't wait for the next month already!

You guys put Uprising art in the banner. I thought they were giving out KIU digital copies. You have been trolling me recently.

It's so sad to see those N64 games coming to the Wii and not Wii U. Nintendo 64 should have been a given to the Wii U Virtual Console at this point.

Oh well. Nothing for me this month.

If Nintendo could somehow add Wii U Pro Controller support to the Wii Mode (which they won't, because effort) I wouldn't mind so much. But hey, free 'Paper Mario' is still free.

I have the GB Kid Icarus and it kinda bored me, is this one any better?

Edit: too bad i only got 130 coins and the Kirby code will only give me 50 at most.

I really wish Mexican NintendoIDs were able to link up with club Nintendo accounts... I get no coins when I buy my digital games, and ive bought over 30 this year alone!

To get Kid Icarus, or to not get Kid Icarus? That is the question.

@Nintendo_Ninja
Ditto. Especially as a 3D Classic, it's very tempting. Still, I don't have 1500 Points anymore, and I'll be darned if I miss out on a crazy awesome physical reward just because of a game that I can buy for a few bucks.

Makes me mad because I JUST bought Paper Mario on Amazon for 10 bucks the other day -__-; (My original cart doesn't like to save after the toyland part so I thought why not lol)

Nothing else really stands out to me.

This is the second or third time I've seen some of these games! I'm disappointed mainly because I already downloaded Kid Icarus, from Club Nintendo last time it was offered. And Metal Torrent is most definitely not worth it.

Nothing for me this month. I'm extremely excited for the Elite Status rewards, though! This will be my third year of service and my third Platinum reward!

I already have 3D Kid Icarus (not that I can even beat the first section; the sequel is a much better game), and I don't care about any of the others.

I'd get Paper Mario if I had the coins... D: So eh, nothing for me this month. Dx

Has anyone else realized they seem to cycle through the same games over and over I'm not meaning ro complain and seem ungrateful,cause hey at least it's something but I haven't spent any coins in like 6 months I've had these games for quite some time it would be cool to see different VC titles available for rewards -_-

@Drobotic Metal Torrent is AMAZING! While I agree it's stupid they used it THREE times already, I can't complain since I want this game to get more exposure. Very underrated.

Well I have Paper Mario on cartridge so maybe I'll get it here. That way I don't have to rebuy it.

@WiiUExposed Exactly what I thought I want my gold elite status gift!

Does anyone know how long we have to choose our CN rewards. Because I am going to be without internet for a week and a half at the end of July.

@JonathanX 99% chance that it's a calendar

Can anyone recommend metal torrent?

sigh Once again, no games I'm interested in or I already have them all.

Disappointment across the board.

If I didn't already have Paper Mario, I would get it again. It's such a charming game. I don't really mind them recycling games.

uh. i have all of these games already nintendo!! give us something different!!!

What a joke. Like, literally.... this is AWFUL.

Phew, I thought this was the Gold/Platinum Rewards update, and that there would only be digital games as the rewards this year. Speaking of that, I really hope one of the Plat awards is The Wind Waker HD soundtrack Japan got last year. Seeing the Super Mario 3D World soundtrack wouldn't be bad either, but I would prefer the Zelda soundtrack.

Suckie suck suck

I'd like to get Paper Mario, but it's on Wii mode... I really don't want to use a Wii remote to play this thing, and I already have that game on my old Wii. Would be great to play it using the Gamepad though.

I guess I'll pick Kid Icarus. Does it really worth 200 coins?

I'll see what I can do to get Paper Mario this month (not enough coins... for now).
If anybody is wondering whether or not Kid Icarus is good, it's a hard platformer that has shooting elements and I really liked it enough to play it to the end. Why don't you give it a chance? (I played the 3D classics version).

Already got Kid Icarus 3D, and DK Jr., but I better get Paper Mario before they start charging 300 coins for N64 games...
(I can't believe they're charging 200 coins for 5 dollar games, that's crazy. Now I regret not getting 1080* Snowboarding when it was 200. It'll probably be higher next time.)

this stinks, i want spend my coins on a game case.

at this rate by the time they come back, i ll have the funds to get 2 game cases

I am sitting on a large pile of coins, so I think i'll get Paper Mario (having never played it, yet lacking a classic controller...). My concern about all these coins is how fast rewards will sell out. Something awesome could very well come out tomorrow, but considering how likely it is a lot of people are waiting out a good reward, by the time I see it, it could likely have been sold out.

If I had a classic controller I would go for Paper Mario. Such an underrated title.

Yeah. Paper Mario for me too. Only in hopes that I can one day upgrade it to the WiiU for a dollar.

Really enjoying the 3D classics Kid Icarus. More enjoyable than I thought it would be. Having a proper save is handy and adding background graphics is surprisingly effective especially with the 3D. Fun. Can't argue with free, either.

Also picked up Donkey Kong Jr. That is squarely the fault of NES Remix, though I do remember it from way back in the day in the Arcade and then on the Coleco Vision. It has a decent control mechanic despite how few levels there are.

I'd go for Paper Mario if it was Wii U native. Yeah it would work fine in the Wii Mode, but... I go there less and less and I don't want to dig out the classic controller if I don't have to.

@Blast
As apposed to being figuratively awful?

Where the heck are the non-digital premiums???

Nothing for me. If only we could get Paper Mario with gamepad support. I would buy it asap come on Nintendo.

The physical rewards at Club Nintendo are SLIM pickings... even by the usual slim picking standards. I wonder if they're set to phase those out completely in favor of all-digital choices.

Still no Platinum Rewards...

Where are the physical rewards. I don't want your digital trash. If you're going to give away digital something give me eshop money.

@Beau_Skunk Back when they first introduced free games, N64 games were 150 coins.

Well, Kid Icarus has never piqued my interest, I don't like scrolling shooters (unless you categorize Star Fox as a scrolling shooter), already have Paper Mario on Wii, and... Donkey Kong Jr?... Seriously?

I may pick up Paper Mario on Wii U's Virtual Wii browser if just to play it in HD in my living room instead of the CRT in the bedroom where my Wii is, but I'm not sure if I'll actually go through with it. If I were able to play it with the gamepad or the Pro Controller, I'd get it, but hooking up my tiny classic controller instead of using my gamecube controllers is a big step down.

@DASchenk At this rate by the time the game cases come back our funds will be expired...

Paper Mario? Again?! Come on. They need more than just four games, or they should update it more often.

My predictions for the Gold / Platinum rewards this year:
Zelda physical item (like the ones being offered with Hyrule Warriors or a music box, Nintendo likes to redo rewards)
Mario Kart or SSB calendar or poster set
Earthbound Wii U
Super Mario 64 Wii
Warioland 3DS (VC) maybe even the Zelda Oracle game(s)
What I'd (realistically) like to see:
Zelda scarf
Mario Kart 8 diorama
Double sided Smash Bros poster (heroes vs villains, boys vs girls, who knows)
A selection of Wii U indie games
A selection of VC games (if the have to be on both Wii and Wii U, then fine)
My unrealistic / dream picks:
Nintendo announces N64 and Gamecube VC, providing a full selection of titles
Mario, Luigi or Peach Wiimote
Wii U branded Classic Controller Pro
Bayonetta 2 physical items and poster collection
Toad Treasure Tracker full level diorama
And why not, a pair of Vans slip-ons, with the old-school checkerboard design, complete with 8-bit SMB 3 graphics!

To those wondering about the selections on CN, come on guys! July is ALWAYS the worst. Nintendo wants the Gold / Platinum rewards to seem amazing in comparison. I think they're going to use this rewards season to try and help them reform physical items so there's more want and less waste.
And the digital games are always a bit lacklustre for the exact same reason.
Another thing.. the GC controller adapters are sorta already out there in the world. They actually work pretty well in Wii mode too. Ocarina of Time is honestly a bit of a mess with the Pro. For the N64 titles in particular, I bust out the GC controller, Wiimote and adapter. It's like night and day.

@Drobotic Metal Torrent is actually quite good!

I can't find this on the UK website, is it only for US?

To folks that keep asking about the Elite rewards: According to a recent Google search, if Nintendo does the same as last year we'll hear about them on or around July 15th, and then we'll have at least a month from that time period to choose our rewards. Hopefully we get something good this year!

What's the point I own all that stuff except for the metal one. It's annoying, they could give us a new game.

I guess I'll grab Paper Mario, I'm sure N64 games will be announced for Wii-U VC eventually.

It'd be real nice to see some Platinum Rewards. Pretty sure that time is coming, no?

It'd also be real nice to see Paper Mario on the Wii U Virtual Console menu too, instead of just the Wii version.

Shocking to see only 1 crap game this round. Usually it's 2 but come on already with N64 to WiiU VC. But at least the cycle has come around for some (like me), I want DK Jr. I hope more real items restock soon. I don't know how I'll use these mass amounts of coins if they don't restock anything new for 3 years

I needed to buy Kid Icarus some time. I'm glad that I waited and bought 3D Kirby instead when I had money to burn.

@WiiUExposed Spoiler alert. It only got worse.

@sleepinglion You were right.
