Well, this is weird. Two entries for "Cubit The Hardcore Platformer Robot - Demo Version" have appeared on my To-Do History. One is marked as Product Registration which is Completed, and then there's another entry that seems to have expired yesterday, the same day that I put the demo on Download Later (haven't even had a chance to download it yet).
The Jett Rocket 2 demo has a Post-Play Survey, is the Cubit demo supposed to have one too but it only lasts one day? Or does it appear as Expired from the start? Is Club Nintendo drunk? Am I drunk?

Specially since it is one of the Platinum rewards. Being dirt poor, I always eagerly await the monthly downloadable games, but you gotta keep your expectations at bay, man. I've gotten some great games in the past but I fully expect them to rotate the same games around for a while and if I can get another good game then that's fine by me. The key to a healthy life. I can always get my daily dose of disappointment elsewhere.
Fingers crossed!
How different is Fluidity for 3DS vs the Wii one? I got the Wii one a while back as a club reward and only played a bit.
You should really put more time into the Wii game, it's fantastic! Regarding Spin Cycle, it ditches the open-world layout of the original for a more traditional level-based setup. It features 2 distinct types of levels: normal levels whose puzzles and mechanics are similar to those found in the Wii game, along with full rotation levels which require you to rotate the system a full 360 degrees in order to solve them. The full rotation levels are the highlight of the game as they offer a fresh spin on the puzzle solving formula while forcing you to consider the situation from different perspectives. It only runs at half the framerate of the Wii game unfortunately.
So ... Wario Land 3 ? xD
No idea xD
THis is exactly the reason why I want to get the 3DS version for free!
LOVED the wii version, but read that the 3DS version is more puzzle and less metroidvania

I haven't gotten any points or surveys for registering FE AWakening on July 22nd. Anyone know what's up? Do you only get points near release?
New downloadable games, until 9/7/2014:

Wow, underwhelming list this month. Thanks for your impressive detective work, though!
Eh, I just jumped up to the next logical number progression -- there could be other stuff (physical), although this seems like a larger number of eShop games than normal.
Hmm, half tempted to get Puzzle League Express since I had it on my DSi but didn't get to transfer it over.
Think I'll wait a bit. Finally earned back a decent amount of coins (800) after spending all of them on the Luigi's Mansion statue, but I wanna wait & see if we actually get a new physical reward or at the very least, some restocks. I saw EU got the G&W Collection game again.

I'll give the Wii game another shot later then.
You should have received 40 points upon registration. The game has only been out for a little over a year I think. Those codes don't expire for a while.
Eh.
...Maybe next time it'll get put up as a reward.
5 rewards this time. Is that a record?
Hmmm. Was Excitebike already up on the Wii U eShop? I assume so, but I don't remember it being put up...
(I'd check Mr. Spreadsheet, but I'm currently waiting for Google to slowly process it.)
Actually, given that the page hasn't officially updated, it's POSSIBLE that these aren't all meant to go up... it seems unlikely, but...

I'm mildly worried the increase will tie into a further reduction in physical rewards...

Really Nintendo?!?! REEEEEEEAAAALLLLYY??
How do they expect us to actually spend our coins when they keep shoveling drivel like this every month?

More digital rewards, but less to actually care about?
I already have NES Remix so games like Excitebike are basically pointless now.
Already have SMB2 upgraded on my Wii U.
Don't care about sports games so GB Baseball is out. How good could it be anyway? I know nothing of it. Is it anything like your typical NES sports games?
The others I can't say I care about, though Puzzle League is always fun.
Just seems like another weak month. No high-spending option like a SNES or N64 game, which are usually the ones I'm more interested in. Got over 700 coins saved up and I haven't even hit Platinum for the year. Seems like the choices of rewards just aren't good enough or diverse enough for me to want to spend what I have.
Nintendo doesn't want my coins.
That said there are plenty of people who will gladly spend their coins on Vegas Stakes. I'm just not one of them, unfortunately.

I have 2800 coins and nothing to spend them on. 
I'd be for that actually. If they're going to reduce physical rewards they might as well go all out with digital games. In a perfect world, both would coexist with great selections on both sides, but we can see that's not happening.

I'd be fine with more digital rewards if it wasn't shit like Vegas Stakes or GB Baseball.

3910.
...
I got WAY too good at hoarding (cough cough), but they haven't had anything good in ages. I'm starting to think I need to grab every physical reward that appears in the future, just in case...
If they were EXCLUSIVE downloads, or early release or something like that, I wouldn't mind... however, the problem have with them doing these kinds of releases is very much the same problem I have with buying $5 bottles of soda at Disneyland -- I -know- what the "real" value of the item, and thus I can't logically accept using $150 worth of CN coins to purchase a $2.00 game.
Yes, I know it's free -- it's the principle of the thing, really.

I'll get SMB2 since I never cared enough to pay for it.

Heh. Everyone's favorite Nintendo news/rumor distillation site has taken my post and made it into a new news update.
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/234468-this-month-s-na-club-nintendo-games-are-revealed
I know there is a "link to the source", but given that the post consists ENTIRELY of my post, I'm mildly annoyed. I mean, it's not a big deal, but posting someone else's writing (as data-driven as it might be) with no changes and not attributing it as a quote seems odd.

They made an error, they wrote available on September 7th. So not a complete copy/paste, they fucked it up!
Don't get upset at RMC, Look at the author for the post before you attack the wrong person~
Oh, good point. I stand corrected -- somewhat. Heh.
I should send 'em a link to the spreadsheet again, just because -- perhaps after I reformat the thing to make it easier to use.
Now now -- I didn't attack anyone. I merely expressed mild annoyance at the website. However, this is quickly getting off topic...
Anyone want to place bets on how long before the CN site actually lists the new rewards?

So they are doing Vegas Stakes on Wii so we have to pay them 1.50 to upgrade
Also just a reminder, I will be giving away two free Club Nintendo games as soon as they are officially posted on the website. One in this thread and the other in the August Download thread

I would get SMB2 and Excitebike for myself.
If those were for the 3DS.
At least I was ready for disappointment,

I'm going to start doing a giveaway twice a month for the club nintendo rewards. Should I make a thread instead or keep it here?
Updated the post and added your username proper. If something like it ever happens, I expect people to correct me and therefore I am happy that you did. I apologize for it and the admittingly stupid date error.
Thanks Kolma.
I'd say it's better to keep it here.
No problem! Again, it's a minor thing - we'll just pester you incessantly next time.
I'll have to remember to bug you when I revamp the spreadsheet format again.

I'd go for them, they're really good IMO.
Is Metal Torrent actually good?

I had fun, it's basic, but I recommend it if you've never played a shmup before like me.
its very funny to see us ( nintendo club users ) waiting for games that released 15-20 years ago to be able to play it on our modern consoles
and compare it to Xbox Gold or PSN+ Games
WTF Nintendo , even the free platinum games was garbage
at least,,the least thing that can do is to give us all the games for the Platinum awards , not just one game

WOAH, the games are now up & there's EIGHT games to choose from. The additional 3 are:
Star Fox 64 (Wii VC, 250 coins)
Mario Golf (3DS VC, 200 coins)
Dr. Mario Express (3DSware, 200 coins)
So maybe they updated it so it's 4 Wii/U & 3DS titles per month.
Edit: It seems to be 2 Wii U VC, 2 Wii VC, 2 3DS VC, & then 2 3DS/DSiWare titles. So basically, we're getting double. Kind of hope this is a new trend.
