- Thread starter rpmurphy
- Start date
Anyone?
Please, if anyone knows, or has an idea, please let me know, as the size of the posters will decide if I get those, or the cards.
Thanks in advance!

I think people with Gold status actually won out this year, since they have a lot to choose from (including games like Metroid II which I doubt we'll see as a regular reward) on top of the typical calendar that's always available to them.
Not thrilled about the Platinum gifts, but I'll take the playing cards, since they look pretty neat. I enjoy having exclusive collectibles over games that I can just spend a couple of bucks on.
The best thing about this year was the element of choice, but I'll say that it would've been better if more games were available as Elite gifts that weren't already normal game rewards. Like, why not put up OOT instead of Majora's Mask, since we already saw the latter? Metroid II was a nice inclusion though, for anyone interested.

Predictably, Nintendo had omitted that information. I think it's a safe bet that the Zelda poster is the same size as the Zelda Anniversary posters, and you can deduce the size of the other two from the images. Unless they're not scaled the same, in which case they'd probably be bigger.
Best we can do, I think :/
yep.
I think people are crazy to redeem Metroid, it's like $3.99 for christ sake. Oh well :X
Not when it's the only game on the list that you don't have.

Don't want to rub it in, but...
The calendar, crappy as it is, has got to be worth more to people than $3.99. It has some nice art, at least.
I mean, you could sell it for more than that.

If I got the cards I'd want to actually use them, but truth is, I don't like the looks of them. So it's a toss up between March of the Minis (I would just give the code to my daughter for her 3DS) or Metroid 2 for me.
How is Metroid 2? I never played it and honestly can't stand the look of Gameboy games.

I was hoping that maybe Metroid II would just show up as a regular game reward. Maybe eventually, since the other games were rewards in the past.

If you hit elite, don't you get to choose a gold and a platinum present? I'm platinum...

It's either or.
It's just a bug.
Easily the worst Platinum gift so far. I actually went with the gold gift and picked Metroid 2, even though I already own the original.
I didn't think they could get much lower than the button set, even though that did turn out kinda neato, but yeah these are kinda blah.
If I could have put Majora's Mask on my 3DS, I would have chose that.

I earned that platinum reward too. But I sold it like a fool.
Earned platinum this year as well, cards for me. They'll remain sealed, just like last year's pin set.
I got both the SS Zelda poster set and the original Zelda poster set. Aside from the one with the various Links of all the games in the original set in it they were all 22" x 28".
You can find cheap walmart frames that size for ~$13. I put two of em on their. I'm trying to rid of my SS posters and the Wind Waker poster since I didn't like either of the games. I don't want them hanging on my wall or taking up space.
Thanks. That sounds pretty good for my dorm wall, actually.
Would you be interested in selling me your Wind Waker poster?

I would ritually murder infants for a SNES Classic Controller.

Went with the cards.
Will try to find the Kid Icarus poster on ebay or something... didn't like the look to the other 2, but that KI poster was sexy... hope it isn't too expensive online
And I wish I got that Metroid 2 code
The Kid Icarus one is primarily why I went with the posters although the Zelda one is nice, too.
I'd love too but shipping them might be a pain and would probably take me a while. I'd have to buy something to put em in and pay for the shipping and I'm so broke I can't afford to do either right now.

Got them posters, because of the other posters quality..the one skyward sword with the sword of damocles over links head looks like itll be pretty shiny.

Where is the option for the games? All I see are playing cards for Plat and a calendar for Gold.

Ok, I don't know what to do here. After I ordered the cards, I hit "print copy of order," I was just going to save a digital version of the confirmation. But there was no option. They only let you print (I have no printer). So I hit the "back" button on my browser.
I got the message to redeem another gift!
I'm tempted to try and order the poster as well, but I don't want it to override my cards order.
Haha. It would be amazing if I got 2 platinum gifts.
edit: Ok, I got a message saying, "Your Elite Status reward has already been redeemed." Oh well. Hee hee.

I got that too but it was just a message saying my coins were safe with Wario when I went for posters.

How are you getting the option to order anything besides cards?

This is the screen I see when I log into Club Nintendo. (Even now, after ordering the cards.):

I can't believe you guys who had gold status aren't getting the calenders. You can always just buy Mario Kart.

I saw a similar thing. I didn't go for it because a) it probably wouldn't work, b) if it did it would be unethical, and most importantly c) Nintendo's ninjas would probably kill me after they caught the mistake.This is the screen I see when I log into Club Nintendo.
