There aren't 8 games yet, he was just using $7 = 100 pts for each game.

I'm speaking hypothetically.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking, too. Next up is the Mario T-Shirt!

Aren't SNES games $8?
So the Rivals system that (I think) we first saw in MP: Hunters, basically, but without the distinction?

Are there Club Nintendo rewards you can't easily get with money?
Quick eBay Search:
Mario Statuette - $40-90
Mario Hit - $75 BIN
Pins - $45 BIN
Ball - $60 BIN
G&W Collection / G&W Collection 2 - $30-50
Zelda Posters - $35
Mario Posters - $35
Rainbow Stylus set - $24
DS Lite bags - $20-30
Mario Galaxy 2 screensaver - $10
Bookmark/folder set - $20-25
I can't think of a whole lot else right now, but it strikes me that you should be able to get 100% of the Club Nintendo merchandise aftermarket if you're willing to pay, so really the emphasis should be on maximizing your cash savings with your points.
I see your point. Buying stuff from eBay is like buying stuff in a Chinatown back alley at this point, though. (But I'm sure there are other more reputable sites to get them from.)

Buying stuff on eBay is incredibly safe because they've rigged the process entirely in favour of buyers. If you claim you receive a counterfeit product, you'll get a refund. If you claim you didn't receive the product at all, you'll get a refund. 100% of the onus is on the seller to demonstrate that they haven't wronged you. *shrugs*
I can understand that, and there are some bad apples.
I choose my sellers very carefully. There's plenty authentic items available.
And like Stump mentions, buyer is king on ebay.
Doc Louis' Punchout is pretty much impossible to obtain.
Luckily it, and the Mario Statue/Hat, were Platinum items so no coins wasted.
Nah, it goes for a lot cheaper.
If it's been taken out of the plastic bag, less than $20.
Gotcha, I knew I shouldn't have taken it out, but it looked so lame in the plastic. Meh, prolly better off keeping it anyway.
I just got my pins yesterday they are so cool!
I wonder if the English Mother 3 will be downloadable for coins, or ambassador only? ;-p
Dont forget to post your impressions and QR codes for your Puzzles in the|OT| for Pullblox/Pushmo everyone!

Maybe they'll just stealth upload the demos with the rest of the update like in Japan?
hahahaha
When does the US store usually update anyway?

Pleasantly surprised that Europe get no demos.
Thanks, Nintendo!
Thanks, Nintendo!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I can only imagine the overreaction if that took place.
Noon sharp eastern, every week like clockwork.

Pushmo, which looks pretty cool. I think it's the first first-party 3DSWare?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
So I was musing over the the following while I was waiting for Pullblox to download:
I was short of 1eur so I just added exactly 1eur to my wallet to buy this game. Which makes my eShop wallet entirely optional. I did not have to register a credit card with any merchants either, yet I could store it in my 3ds if I decided to. That makes the eShop funds mechanism as convenient as the AppStore's and as safe as my own wallet where I keep my CC. Thanks, nintendo, for getting it.

There's a trailer for a game called Mutant Mudds that looks pretty cool. Pixel art side scroller with three distinct layers that are basically 3D porn. 
Yeah, I definitely like this method. And I think the CC info is stored on the console itself (if you choose to keep it there) and not in the eShop account, which would make it hackproof.

For the record I did play Wily's Revenge when I was a wee lad (on a Super Gameboy on top of that). But cool stuff, will get those 2, but I need someone to sell me on Balloon Kid.
Stump I'm talking to you!
Freakyforms. (If you don't count 3D Classics.)

Oh, I didn't know that was first party.
Anyways, I bought Pushmo and played through the tutorials. It seems pretty awesome, and you can make your own puzzles and share them via QR code. I look forward to some crazy GAF-made levels.
Just going to cross post this here since some of you may not follow the Club Nintendo thread.
Mother of god.
Where did you find that? on the actual club nintendo website?
Yup, I was visiting the site before I realized it was down for maintenance and it popped up.
Hey guys - sorry if this is incorrect but I don't know what else it could be (maybe views?) but with the latest e-Shop update when you go to each product page there is a number in parenthesis next to it.
Does anyone have confirmation if that number is amount downloaded? If so - is it region specific? Curious to know - here are some of the numbers I see in the US (California) - would love to see if they match up with those in other territories (i.e. EU or JAP).
Zelda Links Awakening - 16,449
Super Mario Land - 9,766
Mario Land 2 - 2,831
Plants Vs Zombies - 5,106
3D Golf - 1,926

No way, Wii and DS games are really cheap. I doubt you'll find games like Sky Crawlers or Punch-Out for something like 3€ in the US. RRP are shit though, I agree, that's why I'm against downloadable platforms on Nintendo consoles.
The QR codes aren't up yet except on the Japanese product pages, but you scan it like the web URL QR codes by going into the camera from the Home menu and clicking on the checkered icon, then scanning it in.
It'll say it's an eShop link, ask you if you want to proceed, then open up the eShop and take you directly to the game's listing.

I like it.
It was supposed to come at the end of last month.
I'm thinking next week. It probably would have been this week if not for Pushmo.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/328931/club-nintendo-offers-download-games-for-points/
Download games for points confirmed. Thanks Ninty! Happy Christmas to you !!!

Wait, seeing it in this thread doesn't confirm it, but seeing another site source this thread does?
It's the circle of GAF...
It is interesting that the Club Nintendo site is still down -- there were some odd reports about its update that I'm waiting to confirm...
I was there when it was up, it had a ton of new stuff but basically looked the same. They might be doing a total overhaul though as even increased traffic shouldn't have kept it down for eight hours.
