Two more Wii U games to throw on the backlog.

 

[zigg]

A Kappa's Trail is really good. Worth the coins, imo.

Yeah, I really dug this game, though I wished the touch screen area was bigger.

Is Club Nintendo down/slow for anyone else? I'm unable to login right now and I want to reeem Kirby

Club Nintendo has those kinds of issues like every other day. :\

It took a while, but I'm in now. The weird part is that everything worked very fast once I logged in lol

Welp, just spent 700 coins. Now I only have 25 left. I for one cannot wait to see Nintendo put up new posters of Lucina and/or Robin to make me rage

Spoiler

[Jotamide]

Hit Platinum and couldn't care less about it.

 

[i-Jest]

Hit Platinum and couldn't care less about it.

But when those Colorful Charging Cradles, Luigi Statues, Amiibo sets, and rare Wii games go up for Platinum rewards what will you say then? HHHMMM??

 

[Blues1990]

Well, it's time to head to eBay to see what kind of stuff I can order from the European & Japanese Club Nintendo prize catalogue.

 

[Roto13]

I don't mind if the Platinum prize is a game again this year, as long as there's a selection of good games. Wouldn't put it past them to just stick $4 Virtual Console games in there.

I'll say "why does Japan get all the cool shit?". :_:

 

[Davey Cakes]

Is it just me or is the game reward pricing nonsensical?

SNES game is the same price as a NES game and both are priced less than another SNES game that's only being offered for Wii Mode (and thus has to be upgraded).

basically they charge more for Wii U games

edit: but you're right lol, it's like they swapped the prices of Dream Land 3 and Mario Kart

I mentioned that in the Club Nintendo thread. The Wii games are 50 coins more than the Wii U. I was like lolwut Nintendont care.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Not the Wii U version of Mario Kart?

What? Why?

Always fun to notice how N64 games look A LOT better on Wii than on the original N64

I mean, at least i think they do, because i dont have a cartrige copy of 1080 or Wave Race to make a comparsion right now.

But really, putting the VC N64 games side by side with some real N64 games.... its night and day (almost literally, because the N64 games get so dark running in the real machine its almost night)

 

[higgsboson1997]

lol it is painful to go to club nintendo and it asks me everytime that I can redeem my Smash soundtrack...I don't live in the US ;__;





Ok, I think I'll grab Metroid and wait for SMK on WiiU later

It's worse for me man- I have both SSB3DS and SSBWiiU, but the 3DS was from the English version produced for Saudi Arabia/Singapore/UAE, so it doesn't have a Club Nintendo code. I'll have to pay for the DLC even though I bought both games :'(

I think N64 VC games are rendered at 640x480 whereas original N64 games usually ran at 320x240.

 

[Davey Cakes]

The N64 emulation is pretty solid.

Sad that it never saw more releases on Wii VC. Even sadder that it doesn't yet exist on Wii U.

I really think ill stop passing Wii N64VC games on club nintendo (but they only offer 3: Wave race, 1080 and Mario 64, i think)

 

[Curler]

Wow, a VC reward that HASN'T popped yet that I don't have?? Guess I'm getting Metroid for WiiU! Previously it was only available for 3DS, but I like my VC on console.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Those are... underwhelming.

 

[_woLf]

Before I make the jump, got a question about the smash posters. How's the quality? Clear? Not cheap feeling
paper? Does it feel worth the 700 coin plunge?

I'm gonna rage hard if they release something FEA related right after.

The posters are really nice quality, they're kinda a weird material. Feels more plastic or laminated. I like them.

At least that makes me feel better about plopping 700 coins for it :x

 

[Sapiens]

How's the emulation on Kirby3? I recall the SNES game does some weird stuff with the hardware (this is according to byuu of bsnes fame).

 

[Jacksonlee]

wow. when did club nintendo become a ghost town :0

 

[jholmes]

It's perfect so far as I can tell. The gameplay is still garbage but the graphics look great. What were the problems supposed to be?

 

[Chip N Chance]

Around the time the WiiU came out.. : (

 

[Tertullian]

I've never gotten a Wii game from Club Nintendo before, and I don't own a Wii. Can I get the Wii version of Super Mario Kart and upgrade it to the Wii U eShop version? How do I do it?

Redeem it in Wii mode and you'll be able to buy the Wii U version for $1.50 or whatever it costs.

Plug the code into the code redemption part of the Wii shop and download the game.

Once you do that, the WiiU can read the download ticket, and the WiiU version will be discounted on the eShop.

The posters aren't that bad, they also came pretty fast from what I remember. I can't really explain it but they feel laminated and are pretty thick, I like it.

I'll see in a couple of weeks then.

Got a new Bonus Survey in CN due tomorrow (12/18). Mainly focusing on amiibo (e.g. how well we know what it is, what games use it, good/bad about it, etc.)

 

[Zonic]

Now I kind of wish we could register amiibos for coins on CN.

.....or a special amiibo as a Platinum reward.

 

[erpg]

So, do you need to have the system registered in order to add a game to Club Nintendo?

Ahhh, didn't get one :/

No, you don't need the system registered to register games.

Unless its a digital game. Then before that happens, you needed to have linked your system to club nintendo anyway.

Maybe we'll get the retailer exclusives as a Platinum reward

Hmmm.... weird. Anyone know why a code wouldn't be accepted in Club Nintendo (without even showing an error message - the page simply refreshes)?

And yes, this is definitely an eBay code, but I figured if it was invalid or already used, a specific error message would come up.

In my experience I've found that happens when you have already previously redeemed that game on Club Nintendo.

 

[Zonic]

*sees EU gets Mario Golf brand golf balls*

Man, I think I'm more jealous of the fact their CN gets updated with more items compared to ours, which only gets games switched out each month. What was even the last physical reward that was added before the SSB posters?

 

[erpg]

That's what it ended up being, thanks!

 

[Killer Yakuza B]

You can create a Family Account and register the game there. The coins will be added to your account (or a to a common pool of coins, to be more precise).

 

[MarkusRJR]

They seriously need to add new rewards. I have 1410 coins because they keep stacking up with nothing to spend them on. I feel like they'll probably expire before they get any decent rewards. :/

I just figure I'll go on a digital spree if I get close to that point. I think the physical era is over.

Ditto. I have a significant amount of coins burning a hole in my pocket. ARGH!

 

[FreedomFighter]

Got Kirby's Dream Land 3 and picked up 1080 Snowboarding in the hopes that N64 games will become available at some point.
