Last December we had 4 games offered worth $34 total that cost 500 coins total. This December we've had 5 games offered worth $34 total that cost 750 coins total. So a 50% increase in the cost. I also think the games were better quality last December too.

Meh, Mario vs DK was the only one worthwhile.

Oh shit, so mine! I'm sitting on a pile of 1240 coins right now. I can get me a card case and still have coins left for the return of the gold 'chuk.
I bought a Japanese Case from eBay a while back. I got the white US cover, as well as the white Mario & Co. one and the Big Boo/Bullet Bill one. It's pretty cool, although I wanted the yellow Mario one.

do you want anything specific? club nintendo points, a steam code, eshop code...?
Hot damn. Time for me to complete all of those post-play surveys and register some games and systems I've held off on. I need to get a hold of at least three more (I currently have one 3DS card case). I'm already approaching 70 3DS games; though my count isn't as high as some of you guys here.

I'm 10 coins short of the required 250 for the 3DS 18 Card Case. Does downloading the 3DS Netflix app still yield 10 coins?

Okay, I want Metroid II but I also want another game card case and I would probably use my points better on trinkets later in the year.
I'll probably have excess points anyway.

It should ... let me know if it doesn't.
Nice. Will pick up another, as the one I have now is almost full.
Would be nice to get the Pikmin cover but I guess that's asking too much. >:/
AWESOME
Twinbee shall bee mine
Twinbee and Mario Party 2? I knew I would regret getting that pen case! It's OK, now my Hi-Tec-C has something to live in and I can always buy those anyways.
So glad that I have enough coins for another one of these after the Gold Nunchuk! I've been kicking myself for not buying an extra when they were available. (Especially at 250 coins!)

I don't get why they don't sell some extra covers as a separate reward. Obviously the case is a popular item, and it would be dirt cheap to print extra covers.
And we'll all buy them. It's like the easiest thing ever.
Yup perfect idea that makes sense, NOA won't do it.
Time to spend all my coins. I filled up the two I got some time ago.

gotta go look up Twinbee now...Metroid 2 is awesome though.
and yeah, i wish DC or whoever had those would scan the japanese variant case covers, id love to print a few of those.

Can't decide if I should get one or two cases. I have one already and it's full. The second one I get will be half full the second it arrives. Already have some 3DS games pre-ordered for 2013 so the second one may fill up in 2013 as well. I definitely have the coins to to buy two. Was also thinking if I'm not using it I could sell it but I'd feel really scummy doing that. The case is one of the best rewards for NA CN members and profiting from the scarcity of them would make me not feel great.
I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get two, and look to print out some custom covers later on. I'll keep the second one unopened in case I ever feel the need to throw it on eBay like a scumbag.

Might get mario party 2, but I could also just buy it without spending points.

Downloaded the app last night, around 6:00 pm PST, and logged into my Netflix account. Haven't seen any coins deposited into my account yet. Maybe tomorrow?

I wish there was some way to get 1080 Snowboarding onto the 3DS.
Reluctant-Hero
Member
Yeah, just checked, nothing so far.
I would love this as well! Weren't OoT 3D & Star Fox 64 3D done by the same team? Nintendo needs to get them give 1080 the same treatment.

I wish we had some kind of decent snowboarding game on the 3DS.

Fixed for great justice!
No. OOT 3D was done by Grezzo, and Star Fox 64 3D was done by Q-Games.
I think Canada Post lost both my Club Nintendo platinum cards and my Gold Nunchuk. Both shipped about 2 weeks ago and arrived in my city on the 10th. Both have just been "Item out for delivery" all this time. They were shipped separately on different days. And both seem to be lost.
I'm mad about this (at Canada post, not Nintendo). That nunchuk cost me more than half my points. I only have 810 now and wouldn't be able to order again if they put it up again. And the platinum cards are gone forever.
Neither Canada Post or Nintendo want to answer my emails asking for help. I would phone but I can barely speak English so I need to write it.
I have the worst luck.

When did you email Nintendo? Sometimes they take a couple days to respond, but I can guarantee they'll get back to you and they'll make good if your stuff is truly lost in the mail. Be patient.
Thank you for the reassurance. I will continue to wait.
I'm not mad at Nintendo. I assume they're pretty busy and they are just giving me these things for free. So I'm thankful for that even if they can't fix this for me.
I am mad at Canada Post for being bad. They've always been bad to me with lost mail and such things. The mail system is one of the more frustrating things since coming here.

I can empathize as I've had my fair share of issues with the USPS myself! You're not likely to get much help from the government, but Nintendo customer service is literally the best in the biz. I'd be shocked if they gave you any issues replacing the missing items.

Bought Cave Story off the eShop today in order to nudge myself over the 250 coin mark for tomorrow's Card Case. The 20 coin survey showed up about 3 hours after I made the purchase.
The Netflix 3DS survey still hasn't shown up.

I'm curious too. How fast does everyone think the game cases will go out of stock? I'm tempted to stay up past midnight if I need to.
The Gold Nunchuk was back in stock at 12:35 p.m Eastern.

Hey! The nunchuk is coming back in January.
Not sure - anyone know about that? I thought the 3DS was the first non-serial for coins...
Bother - I wanted 100 coins.
