Pitiful selection this month. How many times has DK been a CN reward now?
These are slowly getting repeated. I want new games!
I actually highly recommend Aura-Aura Climber, they need to offer something a little more than a 200 point game though, but it's a superb title
I got DK last year, and I have Star Fox 64 3D (Which to me is the superior version), so no thanks.
Bleck. I have these already. I want something different.
All great games, but I already own them all (except Aura-Aura Climber)
Forget games, I want the merchandise!
If you don't have DK then you have to get it. It's to great to pass up.
I'll pass this time. I feel like they just recently had Super Punch-Out
1. Already got that. (It's also 1.99 in the eShop, save your coins!)
2. Already got that.
3. Hmm, thinking about getting that...
4. And that too. Leaning towards star fox at that point...
I got DK. It's an amazing game, but I already have the GB cartridge.. I wish we could just get some E-Shop credit.
Disappointing selection again, Nintendo... When do you think'll they'll actually give us what we want, games for Wii U!
Nothing for me. I am waiting for Radar Mission.
mhmmmm no thanks. Give us Pokemon Snap, or something worth while.
I'm getting DK 94
already got dk last year on club nintendo, aura aura climber ill pay the 2 dollars for (even though its really good), super punch-out can die in a ditch, and i dont have enough for star fox, but im planning on getting it in an original n64 cartridge
Already got aura climber and donkey kong, got star fox on my broken wii and star fox 3d so I won't be getting any games, can't wait for the elite rewards.
I have Platinum status, do I get a gold gift AND or OR a platinum gift? I'm guess OR
@undead_terror I get Aura Climber because I have DK Original Edition (nes)
@snoox JUST ONE!
Star Fox shall be mineeeeeee!!!!! (I'm gonna use the boost to get through!)
I wanna get Donkey Kong.Period.
I have them all already.
I was hoping for something that hasn't been a reward yet.
Let's see. I already have Aura-Aura Climber and so the only one which slightly catches my fancy is Star Fox 64.
That said, I think I'll hold off this time.
3rd parties need to get in on this too. It's only 1st party games they offer as rewards and so the monthly selection is very limited.
This is for Americans only I guess... ((((((((((((((((((((((( NOTHING FOR EU!!!!!!!!!111
I really like how I looked at this list and said to myself, "Wow, not a single bad game this month!" And sure enough the first comment down is complaining about bad selection.
So how come they don't have games that can be bought to put on the Wii U yet???? Also, yes Star Fox is best choice.
Hmmm...... I worry about if I do end up buying Starfox that some awesome prize will end up showing up and I won't have the coins for it. I'll definitely buy it, just at the end of the month.
so disappointing -_-
i did download DK though
I bought DK when it first came to the shop, got SPU as a reward when it was offered last but have not gotten Star Fox 64 yet and was seriously considering doing so! Now I can with out paying!
Hmm, I got Donkey Kong 94 when it was up last year. I have Star Fox in 3D. Maybe Aura-Aura Climber even though it is 1.99. I'll come back to this.
Haha, 10 points for that tagline @TimLatshaw!
Aura Aura is a total rip the game is only 2 bucks, it shouldn be 100 coins
I'll look into Aura-Aura Climber, & Super Punch Out, though I think I'd be smarter, & maybe better off in the long run, if I save my coins for CN merchandise.
@snoox Unfortunately it's or. Typically the platinum rewards are much better, but occasionally a gold one may be more to your taste.
i want to know what the platinum reward will be already
Surprise, surprise. Rehashes. Thanks NoA. /sarcasm-rant
Dangit! I initially read that as Donkey Kong 64! Disappointment...
@snoox Gold members only get Gold prizes, while Platinum members get both Gold and Platinum prizes. However, you can only pick one item out of everything that would be offered, so choose wisely!
Just FYI, I'm actually a fan of Aura-Aura Climber. Not sure if you should get it with coins or cash tho...
Certainly worth your two bucks!
@47drift I thought the same thing. I remember when Aura came out a while back and it sounded interesting, and I think Star Fox is a fantastic selection!
Also I find it odd that people are complaining about free stuff. Just saying.
@EvisceratorX but DK94 is a great game. If you can I would say get it for sure.
I already own all of these.
I own all of these except Aura Climber.
And this time they offered pretty good games, although it is not the first time SPO or DK have been offered.
I don't know... I'm thinking I should get Star Fox 64... But what if something comes up better next week...? Or what if I find Star Fox 64 3D...?? Forget it... A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. STAR FOX 64!!!
I thought about Aura-Aura Climber, but a $2 game isn't worth 100 hard earned coins. For 50 coins I would give it a shot though.
I don't have enough coins for anything (they were well spent on Super Metroid, when it was available), but I already have Donkey Kong '94, so I'm good.
Maybe Star Fox for me.
@KnightRider666 I really wouldn't bother to get any games for coins because you can redeem coins for something physical and rare, but alas there is less and less worth while rewards to get.
@undead_terror: The rewards they have right now are a joke. I'm sitting on over 1,500 coins with nothing to get. I check daily for something new to be added. I have got some great items in the past though. I wish they would make a Game & Watch Collection 3 for the 3DS. I have the first 2 DS games they offered. The Tingle Balloon Fight game would be cool if they localized it.
I would have gotten Star Fox 64 had I owned enough coins
Anyone else having the website crash on them?
It's pointless to download Wii games, they should offer WiiU VC by now
I would have to say Super Punch-Out, only because I have Star Fox 64 3D and I see no point to getting the original VC game
@Azikira nope, but the images on the front page aren't showing, about it.
@KnightRider666 yay, the game offers are great usually, but those rewards are very pathetic. I want the Hanafuda cards, but than they where gone, and I was saving up for the Game & Watch Ball game, when I had enough, it was gone. sigh
Got Star Fox 64, which I honestly haven't seen as a reward before but for all the comments I may have missed it.
Have to say I forgot games were like this in 1997. Game Over screens. Only 2 lives. No save points. 3 initials for your score keeping the 80's memories alive. Back then I was playing all the JRPGs I could get a hold of on my PSOne and the biggest complaint was having to find a check point. This game just seems like it was made for the arcade to eat up quarters, not for a home console.
It's fun, but it's weird. (Though I did just finish Jak and Daxter a few nights ago, play that before/after this if you don't know what I'm talking about. Though Super Mario Sunshine may be close enough. That was my first ever Nintendo game. That or Starfox Adventures (which I know has nothing to do with this), or Luigi's Mansion, one of those 3.)
@hydeks: I have both items. The ball G&W was a big waste of coins, but then again; if you have a lot of coins like me, it's better than getting nothing. The Hanafuda cards looked cool, I haven't opened them(and I probably won't). I even got the golden Wii nunchuck, but strictly for collector's purposes. my favorite rewards were both G&W collections for the DS for 800 coins each.
I already have those, so this is a bit disappointing.
Wouldn't mind downloading some of these games for my Wii U. I mean theoretically I could through the Wii Channel, but the Wii U's pro controller or gamepad doesn't work with it.
there's not nearly as much variety on the 3ds side as there is for the wii side. for a vc that can support not only game gear but nes and game boy advance, you'd think that the rewards would be more varied than metriod 2 and donkey kong like seriously those games have been up too many times this year
Starfox interests me, though I wish I could get it on the Wii U instead....but I may settle for my Wii.
I already have these.
Damn, at least give us 3DS Ware! I have no more space for DSi games!
How is that UK Club Nintendo gets literally nothing in terms of digital download rewards?
@Beechbone I know its always the same here in the UK we get nothing there is no point in being in the UK Club Nintendo there is nothing you can get with your stars which is any good
I had to pick up DK'94 this time around. I missed it that last time it was offered as a CN reward and I wasn't going to repeat the same mistake twice.
Get your act together NOE.
It's cool to discover Aura-Aura Climber! I'll definitely buy it though rather than spend 100 coins. Can't wait for the Platinum and Gold rewards to be announced!
Aura-Aura Climber is a DSiWare gem.
got DK'94 one of my favorite games of all time, for anyone that does not have it its the best way to spend your coins
I want ANYTHING INTERESTING on the European Clun Nintendo... I finally have a lot o stars, but the only things worth them disappear and don't get replaced... I want collectibles, that actually add to my collection; or games...
I blew 40 coins earned from Project X Zone. I read it wrong and thought I had 260 coins for the year (figured I might as well get that calendar) when it said I was 260 coins away.
I would be much more likely to go in for one of these digital downloads if they were on the Wii U. I play quite a bit on the gamepad while my wife and I watch the tube and I would love to play StarFox 64, but if I can only play it on the television, I won't bother.
@Azikira
I don't have crashes, but I made a survey and even if they gave me the coins, they did not go towards the Elite, as it still says I need 300 to get to Gold.
Does anyone else write down the codes/camera phone them at Gamestop? For used games, especially those 4-5 years old, I figure the original buyer and the next 6 purchasers had their chance already. I already own all the Marios and Laytons and Kirbys, but Monster High, Dance Fever 7 or whatever its called, never interested me. But when the game is 5 years old and no one ever registered it... well then. In 7 years or so of doing this, I've actually only come across one already-registered game. I think I had 5,000 coins for a bit there...
need to get some wii u and 3ds full games on there
Not bad....but not good either.
@KnightRider666 Me and you are in the same boat. I have 1200 coins and nothing really to spend them on. I would definately like some of the DSi software to be added or even some WiiWare. They should start running some clearance sales on WiiWare. I wonder how long they will keep the Wii-shop open since they are starting to close down online services for Wii
@Windy: Yeah, right? I haven't even powered on my Wii in at least 6 months to a year. I'm waiting for a price drop before I even consider getting a Wii U.
I was saving up for a Game & Watch, but now that's out... The rewards are getting very lacking as of late. The US needs to take a page from Japan's book.
@KnightRider666 I still play my wii quite a bit. Ive actually been playing some racing games. I went through Need For Speed the Run and Started Auto Modellista for gamecube on Wii. But 90% of my games played are on 3ds
@Windy: I've been playing NFS the Run on my PS3. Some of those races are downright unfair lol.
I'm already almost a Platinum Member for this new Year's Cycle!
I'm glad I waited to register my:
WiiU
Oracle Series Games
Super Metroid
Yoshi
Crazy Chicken 3D
Nintendo Land
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
There needs to be an option for these polls something like the following. "I already downloaded all the ones I wanted out of that list."
I got donkey kong, it's pretty fun
@mario-the-star Its not the same game.
@Ralizah
This is only the second time to my knowledge, and it's actually a very good game, (in fact, my favorite B&W Gameboy game) and much better/longer then the original DK. It's funny how people don't realize the Gameboy Donkey Kong is a completely different game from the original NES/arcade DK.
I'm a li'l sad to see not so much love for Super Punch-Out. (Which I already have on Wii.) I actually thought it was better, and had more possible ways to beat your opponents in it then the more beloved NES one. Time trial mode was fun to. (And unlike the NES one, I can actually beat the SNES one.)
Since the Hanafuda Cards, Game&Watch Ball, Game&Watch Collections 1 and 2, the Gold Nunchuk, some poster sets and notebooks, and the Mario shoelaces are all unavailable, the Rewards section seems a bit too empty.
i got all 4 of them
Bleh, the new selections suck. Why do there have to be TWO Wii selections? Can't even play them in Wii U mode. T_T
