I can't tell if I'm overly tired or just stupid because I don't understand what you're trying to say here.
I'd say go for Paper Mario: Sticker Star, even if it's $10 more than the other two titles [Art Academy and Crosswords]. Unless, of course, you're interested in those titles, which I'm guessing you aren't.
The way I see it, if you're going to purchase a game anyway, you might as well make it one you have slight interest in. I was going to wait until Sticker Star hit $20 before I purchased it [good luck, Nintendo titles usually take a long time to drop in price!], but opted to pay full-price now to own Donkey Kong Original Edition. It's more than I was originally willing to spend, but at least I'll be purchasing a game that I had intended to buy anyway later on [as opposed to the other two that I have no interest whatsoever].
I'm just waiting [patiently] for my download code. Come on Nintendo!

haha, just saying since we both don't see $30 of value in the others, in my mind im saying "it's $10 more for a paper mario game", that's all. i saw the same mixed reviews you did, but if i buy some crosswords game or an art one i dont use, im gonna look at it next to DK and say "coulda been paper mario for tenner"

I got Sticker Star for Christmas and its awesome so far, I'm not sure why reactions were so negative. I think it's totally worth getting.
It's honestly the mentality you went into it with. A lot of people seemed to be looking for TTYD when the game was never gonna be that.
I love SS personally.

Yeah I've never played a Paper Mario game before so I had no preconceptions. That may have helped.

Would anyone happen to have any info on when we may receive our Super Mario Land 3d code for registering a 3ds xl?
Are you in the States? I thought it was Europe only.

See, I went into Super Paper Mario (on Wii) with similar expectations. I felt like it was neither a traditional style Mario game nor TYYD. In fact, it became the first (and only) Nintendo-made game that I've sold or traded in within 2 to 3 weeks of buying it on day one.
Having said that, I'm really digging Sticker Star -- also got it for Christmas -- and highly recommend it. As another poster said, the game is oozing with charm, it's fun, light-hearted, overall a very enjoyable game that deserves to be played.

man, NOE stays winning
heh...im buying DK OE this week and getting Mario SS for free, beat that!
DKC is still gone, right? this has to be the new tablet-friendly VC, right?
I endured my brother, and now I have enough coins for that Ball G&W. But now I´m torn between that or to get the DS collections. Decisions, decisions.

Get G&W Ball now. The DS collections have been around for a long while.
Just earned enough coins for 3D Classics Twin Bee, will redeem & download tonight. And now I won't register anything or complete surveys until 7/1/13.
Unless 3D Classics Kirby is a future 150 coin prize.
Done. Now to save up for the eventual Super Famicom Classic Controller release.

I'd say go for the Hanafuda Cards first, G&W 2 second. I bought the G&W Collections for less than $10 when I lived in Japan and got the G&W Ball for free as a JPN Club Nintendo Platinum award, and neither are all that great. Nice collectibles but not much else and I'm glad I never spent any coins on them. The Hanafuda cards seem like they might have a bit more replay value than the other two, though they are less interesting as a cool collectible if that's what you're looking for.
Get Style Savvy, it's amaaaaazing

Hmm? Is this confirmed or just wishful thinking? I mean I know it says it's coming back this month, but wasn't aware of a date.
Hanafuda is my next reward just be prepared they are not playing card size. They are about half that size I know some people get caught off guard with them.
They're so cute.
The Hanafuda cards are such a nice reward. They have nice artwork on them [that looks old-school/authentic] and pays tribute to the history of Nintendo [they started out selling Hanafuda cards]. I'd recommend them.
Keep in-mind that I don't have the Game & Watch: Ball reward, but I'm completely satisfied with the Hanafuda cards. The Game & Watch: Ball will be my next reward, though, unless they announce the Super Famicom controller for the NA Club Nintendo.

ITBs going up always give me a warm, fuzzy feeling :3
Think the download version ITB comes up a few days after the retail one, for some reason. Will fill out both. Thanks!

How long is the time period to fill out eShop surveys before they expire? Isn't it shorter than retail products? I don't want to fill out my Unchained Blades survey until 7/1/13.

Yes Fire Emblem, I do intend to buy you.
I'm glad you feel that way.
So I'm not the only one that noticed it just disappeared entirely from the product listing? Got me nervous.
Local multiplayer, however it has StreetPass and SpotPass were you can get extra characters and DLC for extra maps and characters.
Fire Emblem in general has great replay value, though. The games in the series are designed to be beaten numerous times, specially this one thanks to the marriage system it has.

Do we have time to hold it for that long? I thought the expiration time on that was shorted when all those changes rolled in last year.
I'm in the same boat and just bought this yesterday.
