are you doing Ronald?

:tinfoil: Clearly the new rewards program will launch alongside unified account systems for absolute integration between all Nintendo devices. Also crossbuy. :tinfoil:

They actually mentioned they are working on crossbuy though.

So at least for US Club Nintendo they put up the new games today, and they're not changing them at all until the program closes so last chance to use up coins on VC Stuff

Wii U:
Super Mario Bros 2
Excitebike

Wii (Playable on Wii U):
Super Metroid
Super Punchout

3DS:
Gameboy:
Super Mario Land
Donkey Kong

GB Color:
Wario Land 2

And also Legend of Zelda but dunno if this is the original NES version or what

For those looking for extra coins, I think the free VOD apps and other free downloads like Wii Sports Club and Steel Diver Sub Wars give you coins/surveys, right?

Seeing a big 'new rewards coming in february' banner on the club nintendo site too, so if you don't want or already have all the VC stuff and current physical stuff it's probably worth holding out a little to see what else they add.

Took this, thanks.

Also: RIP any chance of a Club Nintendo exclusive Amiibo being the plat reward, seems like they're just going to do downloable games again.

Good to know. Can we use the Gamepad to play Super Metroid in Wii Mode? That's the most obvious recommendation if you have 250 coins to spare and don't have it. I actually had Super Metroid on the Wii and never did that Wii > Wii U transfer, seemed like a hassle just for some VC games.

FYI the platinum stuff this time has a cutoff of March, they are giving out the free games starting April 1. I am hoping against logic that since it's the last time they'll actually offer some full retail titles instead of just VC.

Well hopefully this will be a good change. CN has always been a fun little bonus that occasionally had some really good promotions but it had plenty of issues. If they can make a new, more modern and better integrated system it'll be pretty great.

Well luckily for me, I just registered all my poo poo and got Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Super Mario Kart for free, looks like I'm gonna get Super Metroid and Super Punch-Out, too. Then next month I'm gonna get Captain Toad...

Oddly though, I don't seem to have gotten points for my 3DS yet. I put in the number on the sticker under the barcode, right? I have my Club Nintendo linked to my NNID and my NNID is on both my Wii U and 3DS so it's odd it hasn't seen it yet.

They said in the press release that they would be adding more stuff for people to clear out their coins with, and the main Club Nintendo site says "More rewards will be added in February." If the whole thing isn't shutting down until June 30 then there's no reason to go all crazy on things you probably already have since I've seen this set of rewards like 2-3 times in the past year.

Guess I do have to go through and register all the games I've been holding out on though, got a few hundred coins' worth there for sure.

Since it says Super Metroid and Super Punch-Out are for the Wii and not Wii U, does that mean I have to go into vWii mode to play them?
e: unless I pay $1.50 for them huh... balls.

Yes, but you can upgrade Super Metroid for $1.50 to the Wii U version once you get the Wii version on your account.

I will admit, I hoarded Club Nintendo coins like an idiot. I had two accounts going, and I would collect the registration codes form people who didn't care about the program, and got a ton of the stuff over the years.

The Blockbuster in my town went out of business, and I asked them if I could just take the Club Nintendo codes and they gave no fucks about it...

I think I have like 2200 coins saved right now

I had a ton of coins but I blew almost all of them recently because I was getting tired of hoarding them-- they never really put up anything worth saving up for.

Lately after figuring "eh the smash posters are good enough" among other VC game downloads I'm back down to about 300 coins. I'm going to be kicking myself if they put up a ton of amazing stuff these next couple months. :argh:

Yeah, website pretty much always does stuff like this when there's a big influx of people using it all at once. Mine just went back to Platinum.
