NOA is also doing a bunch of weekly character-themed sales in the lead-up to Smash; they said select games featuring "Mario, Yoshi and more classic Nintendo characters" for this week but didn't list 'em.
Does anyone have any idea if Kirby (and specifically Kirby's Dreamland 3) will be included? Was actually going to get that today, but I can wait.

Games are up for Club Nintendo NA:

Wii U:
Mario Bros.
Kirby Super Star

Wii:
Super Punch Out
NES Play Action Football

3DS:
The Legend of Zelda
Super Mario Bros.
Touch Solitaire
ArtStyle Pictobits

A little bummed, Kirby Super Star was the first game I bought when I bought my Wii U 2 weeks ago. I don't want Mario Bros. at all. If I had a 3DS I would totally get Zelda or Super Mario Bros.

edit: Beaten, oh well

I am left-handed and if I try to play Kid Icarus on higher difficulties my hand is going to be hosed something fierce. It's a super cool game, but god drat is the control scheme a bitch. I wish they'd just port it to the Wii U or something where I have two sticks.
I felt the same way. drat righties.

I'm definitely going to get Dreamland 3 and Tropical Freeze. My GF and I just played Superstar, and she loves Kirby. Amazing Mirror - you could play that with 2 GBAs, but on VC only one person can play at a time, right?

In fact, if I remember right, Sin & Punishment is the only announced game that uses the classic controller (and even then, the remote and nunchuck is much better for it).

Pandora's Tower was announced in the EU I think. I'm really hoping for fire emblem: radiant dawn too which uses the classic controller.

Is hitting platinum going to give you some bonus reward next month or do we not know yet? I'm already plat but I was saving some codes for the next cycle. I guess I'll add them now and hope I have enough coins for cool junk.

From the club.nintendo site:

2015 Elite Status

In order to reach Elite Status, you must earn 300 Coins (for Gold Status) or 600 Coins (for Platinum Status) between July 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Members who reach Elite Status will be able to choose a downloadable game from a wide selection of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles. Your free Elite Status gift will be available between April 1 and April 30, 2015. A list of the Elite Status 2015 gifts will be posted here once announced.

So it will definitely just be a downloadable title. Some of the games last year were pretty good, I'm hoping they go even bigger for the last club nintendo rewards.

Do not expect anything tomorrow. I don't remember a month that they put up the new rewards on the day you would expect. If the games said "offer expires 12/15" they would be there until 12/17-12/19 before they finally updated with the next month's rewards.
I am kind of expecting it to not update until after the N3DS XL comes out, so new owners and get stuff too, but we'll see.

I picked up Metroid earlier in the year, which is now making me decide between Link's Awakening and Super Metroid. I can't decide. (On second thought, I'm pretty sure metroid gave me my last DDP credit).

Weird, I just downloaded and did the survey for Lucadian Chronicles and it gave me 0 coins. The survey said it would give me 10 but I got nothing. This isn't like the normal little hiccups, it's actually listed on my Accounts & Coins page with 0.

Wonder if they turned the free stuff off.

I believe Lucadian Chronicles only gives points for the post play survey, not for the initial survey.

So, Club Nintendo question. I have 240 coins (Zen Pinball Wii U & that Taikai 2 demo or whatever didn't give me post-play surveys even though I downloaded them almost 2 weeks ago) and my wife was asking about getting Mario 64 on our Wii U. Is there a list of < $10 games that will net me 10 coins? Or am I better off spending $10 on Mario 64 directly and getting something else on Club Nintendo?
Here is a list of how much points products give on the club nintendo site. Scroll down to software and you can select Wii U or 3DS too.

I think he wants to keep the coins in case a game that he would get with the coins turns out to be a platinum reward.
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.

Probably Aria of Sorrow for GBA VC. Also Harmony of Dissonance is good, so is Super Castlevania. I really like Castlevania III, but I can admit it's not the best.

There has to be some way to find them from your Wii U/3DS from that.
Out of curiosity, how do you get the code for the other version? Where is it located? Is it in the eShope when you download it, or what?

Took like 40 minutes. I think they might have done it because there were a shitload I missed post play not just product registration.
I actually called them today. I had some points expire over the summer (400) and I was in Afghanistan, so I asked for those points back. The customer service rep said he would send in a request for the 400 points and just turned on the post-plays without me even asking for that. An hour later I got an email from Nintendo and they gave me those 400 points not asking for any proof (I had paperwork ready to send them).

Why are some wiiu games in the 3ds sales/promotion section. Are they cross buy? (like shantae or mighty switch force 2)
Those games are part of an Indie promotion. IF you own one of those games all of the other games on the list are discounted (60% I think but don't quote me).

I haven't seen the twitter - but we are missing two Wii games. Do those Wii games count as VC?

Kirby's Return to Dreamland
Kirby's Epic Yarn

Other games:

I think Europe got Kirby 64

Nintendo doesn't put digital Wii games under the "Virtual Console" branding, since their functionality/features aren't the same. But the tweet doesn't actually specify VC, so the Wii games very well could be in the mix.
Interesting. Well those games are options. Any DS game (Squeak Squad, Mass Attack, Canvas curse, Superstar Ultra) are also options.

Yes. The people downloading get 8 bit music.

The only BS thing is Triforce Heroes is you need 8 friend coins to buy the necessary components for a couple of outfits, and those are only obtainable by playing local multiplayer with other people who have the game, so you'll need to do that with eight different people.
15 actually I think. There's a costume for 3, 5 and 7 coins.
