And, no.
ten dollars, paypal gift! i can't go any higher, b3.
For people that say we shouldn't complain and that regge is right, I'm sorry but that's doggie happy-for-bone mindset that I'm not stooping down to.
It's not about things being "free"- I don't think we're that cheap?
What makes me sad is the tradition of Club Nintendo being lost, its prestige withered, seemingly eaten by infectious DD.
Prizes are up
lame.

They took it down and it hasn't come back up yet. No one has been able to redeem them yet, apparently.so where do we redeem them? don't see them on the page anywhere.
Guess I'll be getting the cards... bummed we didn't get the cushion.
Oh, we're bitching and whining about free stuff again this year like a bunch of spoiled toddlers?
Surprise surprise.
We just want something similar to the Japanese Nintendo club.The whining about Platinum prizes always makes me laugh. Reggie was right, the fans feel over-entitled. They are giving you some free shit and all people do is complain that the free shit isn't good enough. Here's the thing, if it weren't pointless tat then it wouldn't be free. At least they offer you some actual games now.
Here's the thing it's pretty pathetic that every other region in the world gets something good but we get things that are even worst than that.The whining about Platinum prizes always makes me laugh.

The thing is you can get these posters or games with the avilable points but the platinum and gold should be items you can only get with reaching that level.I'm surprised people are complaining about this year's. I'm pretty happy with a cool set of cards or some super nice looking posters. What is it about the internet that just makes people so negative and unable to be happy with anything?
So they shouldn't be held to the same standard as the other regions for the platinum and gold prizes? I disagree it should be comparable to the other regions for the type of prize.I'm just amazed at the amount of sheer fan outrage in this thread. I mean, I was told to expect it, but it's still pretty hilarious to witness first-hand.
It's one thing to be disappointed, fine, express it, but "Fuck you, Nintendo"? Really? Over a prize?
Relax. If you're that disappointed, then it was your own fault for having such ludicrously high expectations (or any expectations, to be honest).
Those who are complaining about a free gift, give it up and stop acting like little babies. You didn't deserve or earn it in anyway. It's a bonus for buying and registering your games.
For those who want the statue, I have it, it's a pile of cheap plastic. It probably weighs all of maybe an oz. It feels real cheap and is hollow. It's crap and honestly doesn't seem that cool up close and in person.

I'll probably get the calendar. I got it for 2010, and I actually really enjoyed having it on my desk all year.
Just don't ask me about those Mario themed pins. I haven't even bothered opening the package. I think it's somewhere in my closet, I have no idea.
Seriously? Cards, posters or fucking VC games that were already offered?
Get fucked, NoA. Get fucked hard.
It is absolutely ridiculous that they have the audacity to offer people who have spent 600 dollars on Nintendo products such disappointing prizes when Japan and Europe get consistently excellent prizes.
I expect something on par with the other ClubYeah, I mean it IS ridiculous to expect the American branch to be as good or even close to the European version and Japanese version :|

Sony and Microsoft fans gets nothing. If you bought 600$ of games and consoles for these rewards, even partially for these rewards, you have a problem. To me they are just little bonuses. Of course, I'd like great stuff like in Japan, but Japan is a small country (size, not population) and shipping stuff is probably a lot more expansive in North America. Which is probably why the rewards are not as good.

these are the cards I actually wanted:
but they're sold from vendors in Japan, so I knew it would never happen

It's not anything special that you couldn't get already, It's not about entitlement which I agree there's tons of stuff on GAF that it makes me smh about the outrage over but I think this is entirely justified since other regions are getting better items.

Not going to even bother redeeming my Platinum.
Last year's prize was exactly the same as Japan's prize the year before and people freaked out in much the same way they're doing now.
And those $600 you spent got you $600 worth of games, and 600 coins to spend on other prizes, on top of the cards or posters or whatever you claim. So yeah, you're being a bunch of babies and should be ashamed of yourselves.

I think VC games are pretty fair as a Gold level prize.
I've spent way more than $600 on some companies and got nothing free. These reactions are pretty hilarious.
I can spend 50 bucks on a year of PSN and get dozens of free games to play. Spend a couple hundred bucks on Nintendo games? Here's your free Metroid II ROM.
FINALLY the gifts are revealled!
...and I see everyone complaining? Really? Not only do we get the option of FOUR different games and a calendar, but cards, which about rivals every other platinum gift, but we get posters. POSTERS.
NOT JUST ANY POSTERS.
But Skyward Sword, Kid Icarus, and Luigi's Mansion, some of the best posters they could've picked.
AND YOU GUYS ARE COMPLAINING???? Damn.
I don't see how anyone can complain with these posters. Even if you don't want the posters theres so many damn options. Its so awesome that theres just so many options. Not just the added games, but also two physical platinum gifts.
Thanks Nintendo! You won't get any complaining from me this year. Those posters are mine!
I'm underwhelmed, but they're certainly better than the pins we got last year (which didn't even arrive, in my case).
lol are you comparing a subscription program to a loyalty program? wat
