Actually that makes me feel better. Heh.

What about 3DS VC games purchased using Club Nintendo coins? I just redeemed Metroid II and that other game (Link Launch I think). Will I get coins for those? More importantly, will I get them before the 1st? I'd really like to avoid purchasing some crap 3Shop game just for points. Just need 15 more...

I redeemed CN coins for Fluidity earlier last year, and I got all the coins as if I'd bought it. I imagine it'd be the same for 3DS eShop/Virtual Console.

I'd recommend Gunman Clive for 3DS. It's a fun Mega Man -esque platformer with great art. $1.99 for **EDIT** 5 coins.

I'd recommend Gunman Clive for 3DS. It's a fun Mega Man -esque platformer with great art. $1.99 for 10 coins.

Well, hopefully I get the post-play survey for those games within the next two days.

 

[Coldsnap]

oh man, i almost forgot to redeem my last few points i needed to go platinum

 

[_woLf]

Gah I need to spend 440 coins and there's literally nothing I want. I guess I'll get the shirt.

How much does it shrink when you wash it? I can fit into a medium fine but if it's going to shrink a lot then it'll be a problem. I wanted a large just in case for this issue but of course they're sold out of those...

 

[StarCreator]

Last minute rush for Gold here; Platinum totally out of my reach unless I go buy a Wii U tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on Sin and Punishment, it's been sitting in my backlog unopened and I had no idea it was worth coins. I'm now sitting at 10 coins shy of Gold and just bought Kokuga; I should get at least 10 coins from this in the next day or two, right?

 

[Captain N]

You need to be Platinum by tonight at Midnight, right?

 

[Lexxism]

You need to be Platinum by tonight at Midnight, right?

I think that should be tomorrow before midnight.

 

[Zonic]

Tomorrow's the last day before the reward year resets on July 1st. But yes, I would suggest getting it done by midnight PT.

Now to see how long it'll take Nintendo to announce the rewards.

Get some digital games and sell or gift them on GAF.

 

[JosiahB]

I have a question about the 20 bonus coins for buying a VC game deal (though I'm not sure anyone will be able to answer it). If I purchased Yoshi for 30 cents yesterday, would that count for the bonus points? I see nothing on the promo age that says it wouldn't...

 

[-Horizon-]

Good platinum rewards this year, please Nintendo.
I don't want calendars or cards.

Spoiler

But if there are Fire Emblem cards I would get those in a heartbeat

 

[Delicious Waffles]

So tomorrow is the last day for this year so, if you're sitting on any codes and hit Platinum already, you enter them on July 1 for the new year, correct?

 

[Zonic]

Yes, July 1st will reset your yearly status, so you can enter any codes & do any surveys you have. Though considering the traffic of people trying to redeem their gold/platinum reward, you might wanna wait a few days after.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Gotcha. Just wanted to be 100% positive. Thanks for the reply.

As for waiting a few days, that's probably a good idea, haha.

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

Any sense of when we'll hear what the Gold/Platinum rewards are for the year?

Usually the rewards are announced within a week of the 1st of July. A couple times I believe they where announced on the 1st.

 

[Samyy]

If I spend my points before the 1st I don't lose my Gold status right?
Just making sure

 

[Synless]

Personally, I want another dope ass statue like the one we got a few years back. I know deep down we won't get that though.

 

[Ghazi]

I don't think so. Take that with a grain of salt though and get other confirmations.

 

[Zonic]

Spending points won't take away from your yearly status.

 

[Vamphuntr]

First time I've qualified for Gold status. I rarely buy first party Nintendo games. Hoping I get some nice VC game download from this.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Woot, made it thanks to dat Animal Crossing deal at Amazon (Best Buy price match).

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So wait, do you have to spend your coins by the end of this month too? 'Cause there's nothing I want at the moment.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Nope. They carry over.

 

[-Horizon-]

So wait, do you have to spend your coins by the end of this month too? 'Cause there's nothing I want at the moment.

Only if you have any expiring coins. It should tell you under "Coin & Status".

 

[Zonic]

You can check to see how much of your coins expire by going to "Account & Coins", then click the "Coins & Status" tab. Any coins you have expire after 2 reward years.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

You only have to spend your coins if they're about to expire.

To check to see if you have coins expiring, go to "Accounts & Coins" then to the "Coins & Status" tab. It will let you know if any are about to expire.

If you don't have any expiring, just hold on to them.

edit; beaten. Damn you!

 

[Vibranium]

I just scored Platinum yesterday using a copy of Steel Diver lol, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'm hoping for Luigi hats, but only if they're made out of better material than the ones Iwata and Miyamoto were wearing. I know Nintendo has to be cheap but at least make the hat a darker shade of green!

Well, hopefully we find out the rewards sooner rather than later.

 

[bigDdestruction]

i wish they would update the rewards already. I have 1600 coins and would like something decent. Its taken like 3 years to make it to that much.

 

[Horseticuffs]

My first Platinum this year. I hope we get something substantial this year and not like a bunch of temporary tattoos or some shit.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Alright, reached gold level. Hoping for some eShop game rewards since I don't live in the US (imported 3DS XL) and can't have physical stuff shipped to me. I had to give Nintendo some made-up account in Orlando when signing up for Club Nintendo, don't tell them!

 

[BronsonLee]

Ugggh. In my genius, I redeemed all my Club Nintendo codes (just bought a 3DSXL and some games), not realizing the year ends June 30.

So...I need 140 points for Gold, and 440 points for Platinum. I have Animal Crossing (50) and Personal Trainer Cooking (20) coming later, so I wouldn'tve made it anyway, but now I want to hit Platinum (since it's literally soon).

So. Have US Club Nintendo codes? I'll buy em. PM me and we'll work it out, Paypal wise. COUGH EM UP

 

[scurker]

60 coins expiring and nothing to spend them on. This sucks.

 

[KarmaCow]

Since I have 290 coins expiring and don't really want anything, does anyone want one of the DL games?

So one out of these two.

Super Mario Bros 3
Metroid II
Link 'n' Launch

All gone.

 

[oatmeal]

I hit Platinum forever ago...I have more points to input...when can I start putting htem in?

Since I have 290 coins expiring and don't really want anything, does anyone want one of the DL games?

Super Mario Bros 3

I'd take link n launch!

 

[KarmaCow]

Sent and the Club Nintendo year resets after June 30th so you should be fine doing it after July 1st.

 

[zroid]

So, who's excited for another weekful of "what the fuck Nintendo I bought $600 worth of games for this shit?"

 

[carlos]

ended up with 60 coins expiring that I'm not going to spend...anyone want a screensaver? lol

 

[Vibranium]

Since I have 290 coins expiring and don't really want anything, does anyone want one of the DL games?

Super Mario Bros 3

I'll take Super Mario Bro.s 3 please, thank you so much in advance!

 

[BronsonLee]

So, who's excited for another weekful of "what the fuck Nintendo I bought $600 worth of games for this shit?"

Hey, I'll be happy if I just make it to Platinum, to be honest. I don't really care what the reward is!

...Though a Luigi hat or those snazzy cards -would- be nice...

 

[Drago]

So, who's excited for another weekful of "what the fuck Nintendo I bought $600 worth of games for this shit?"

So excited.

Anything is better than playing cards... at least the pins had cool packaging.

 

[PorygonVandal]

It's the year of Luigi!

Give us some amazing Luigi stuff!

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Super Mario Bros 3
Metroid II

Could I get Metroid II please?

EDIT: nevermind, the math doesn't work out.

EDIT2: woah, thanks!

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Luigi hat or bust.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I dunno, the three posters I got last year look damn nice on my wall. Especially the glow in the dark Luigi Mansion one. Pretty excited to see what is coming up for Plat reward.

 

[KaYotiX]

shirt is nice.
i actually get compliments on it all the time haha.

I use mine for a night shirt. I'll prolly buy another one because I have 400 coins expiring soon. They need better items.....

 

[Game Rogue]

Some of you would really be happy with a Luigi hat as the platinum gift? I hope that is not the platinum gift; personally I would want something a little more nicer/special than that hat.

Now if the Luigi hat could be purchased with points – I’d buy that.

 

[Penguin]

Hmm not sure the policy on it, but should we create a thread.. just to inform folks that the year is up tomorrow and a disclaimer to check to see if points are expiring?
