I am entitled to one of those but haven't heard anything yet. Knowing me, I will never listen to it.

Not going to be until April, but I am holding onto my coins for the Gold and Platinum rewards. I just know that if I buy something I want now it will end up being a reward item come April. I know that Starfox 3D, which is at the top of my list and very expensive, is not going to be a G/P reward but I could very easily see Super Metroid or Earthbound or something else that I want in the 200/250 coin range pop up.

Last year had a Wiiu retail title (game and wario) and a 3ds retail title (DKCR3D) as platinum rewards, so nothing wrong with holding out for platinum.

My hope is wind waker since it's kind of old, and it's been offered several times in the past.

I've given so much money to Nintendo in the past year that I have a feeling that I'm going to own all the games they offer.

I really hope Star fox 3D is a platinum reward- I'm sitting at 500 coins and there is just no way I'm getting to 700 and man I just don't want to pay 40 bux for it. It could happen- game is old at this point and probably not a huge seller.

This is even more reason to hold out. I really want to play Starfox 3D - I even bought the Wii Console release to tide me over - but I will wait another month and change.

I would love this. I am sitting on 1210 coins, much like a recent poster, and there is no way for me to get more to get the 1400 to get Starfox and Uprising, then just buy Super Metroid & Earthbound and other cheap games with real money. I also wish that I could give away coins myself. If one of those were to be platinum, though, then I could get one, buy the other for 700, and still get Super Metroid and perhaps something else. I would like to see Nintendo throw up something grand for the last "Hurrah!" of Club Nintendo, but I am too cynical to really think that way.

I cannot justify paying $35~$40 for either Fox or Uprising either. I have this weird... thing where I feel odd getting the digital version of a game on cartridge. There is no rational reason for it, but I do. I own tons of digital PC games that have or have had boxed versions, but this just feels odd to me. I have plenty of space on my SD card and larger ones are cheap as chips. I won't pay hard copy prices, but I feel weird about buying digital copies of the same sodding game with silly money that has no other use except for buying digital games.

I am an odd duck, me.

This game is really cool and if you haven't played it yet on PC you should totally consider picking it up. Great soundtrack, too. I got it in a bundle but $10 ain't bad for a pretty looking autorunner platformer/score attack thing.

Denpa Men isn't actually a first-party title (developed and published by Genius Sonority, who just develops exclusively for Nintendo consoles), so I doubt it.

Gold and Platinum rewards are free. You just need to have accumulated enough coins over the last year (or in this case, ~7-8 months) to hit the goal, regardless of how many you've spent.

How great would it be if Nintendo wasn't actually closing Club Nintendo but instead announcing it just to get a flurry of sales for people on the edge of certain rewards/rewards levels? Every place I visit has people screaming at the top of their lungs "I NEED TWENTY MORE POINTS TO 600!!!"

Which makes sense. I would assume there's only a handful of retail wiiu or 3ds titles as platinum rewards. Imagine you spent 700 coins on the only 3ds retail game you didn't have and it ended up being a platinum reward and you could have picked it and bought several VC games. But if you have all the platinum retail titles, then you can only choose like Earthbound or something (going off last year's rewards)

Counter point: you can't get any more coins after March 31st. So if you're close to another reward and wait, you won't be able to get another reward. From redeeming my stuff I basically got another 200 pt game.

I am well aware of that. I am waiting because I do not want to spend Coins on something that I want, then find out it was available as a Gold/Platinum reward and that there is nothing else available for G/P that really interests me. There are a handful of things, quite literally about 5, available as coin rewards right now that I want, so I could very easily find myself in a situation where I have currency to spend that I cannot give away, but there is nothing I wish to buy.

In short, I am waiting for Nintendo to put all of their cards on the table before I show my hand.

I thought Gold and Platinum rewards didn't cost coins. There was just a list you could pick one of by hitting that goal.

I really hope that Inti steps up their game for the sequel. I still liked it, but the level design was quite weak, and their work on MN9 looks pretty bad. I still have hope though, since their work on the Zero/ZX series showed, in my opinion, that they can recognize what aspects of the games players didn't like and needed to be improved upon or excised.
