Dear Nintendo, get this done. I have money that I wish to give you.
The risk/reward for Nintendo is so very favourable for them.
January/February drought is the perfect time for this. It doesn't collide with third parties much.

right? ugh it reminds me of when PSN was a barren wasteland, and at an e3 thing tretton said they could flood it with PS1 classics but they were afraid it'd discourage other devs, so barren it stayed for a while there...i wanna say iwata said something similar with 3ds launch? i get where they're coming from, but you need content to get people on board, not the other way around.
every CN survey applicable, i remind them of this. trickle out your GB games on eshop & get on with GBA, it's been over a year already and you're picking up steam, no reason to sit on them forever. likewise, WU eshop won't see me logging in regularly until they put up some interesting reasons to do so.

What's taking them to change the games

Often they will remove the old ones without adding replacements for days.

It probably won't happen 'til about noon EST (9am PST). At least that's how it's been in the past a few times.
Saw this mentioned a few times. Don't recall this ever happening, though. When did this happen?

Nice changed titles to wake up to today. Gonna be getting Punch out! for my 3DS, and Mario Kart 64 for my Wii-U. Great stuff. Already have Tetris GB, but that's a nice one to have there as well.
And Twinbee 3D has some damn good 3D. Glad I snagged that one last night.

While I find the notion of charging the same price for a $5 and $10 game crazy, I must admit that if we were to few the coins for play value instead of price, Punch-Out!! is one of the few games worth that much.

Did they raise the prices?
Just over a year ago in December 2011 when they started making games available on club nintendo the games were 100 coins and 150 coins
December 2011
January 2012
Isn't 200 coins worth more than $5? Maybe if you just don't have $5, for some reason, I guess it may be worth it?
Punch-Out! is on my list of games to eventually get after going through more of the backlog, but coins would seem to be worth more, unless you just have tons of coins that you need to burn through.

I'm always looking for ways to spend my coins, so I'll be getting THREE of those games. Great choices!
Ugh, I really really wish Majora's Mask was available again.

Fuck. This post got me all excited.
Well at first it didn't seem like much good for me on this list either. Mario Kart 64 was fun at the time, but looking back I think it may be one of the worst of the Mario Karts...at least single player. That damn rubber band AI. Not like I'd have anyone who wants to play multiplayer now either. Tetris is tetris, but I dunno, I think now I'd rather play Tetris DS if I have one on my 3DS.
Punch-out was the only one I've picked up so far, and yeah, here I am playing it on my 3DS. Still fun, hehe.

Wrong N64 racing game, Nintendo. My telepathy failed, will have to try harder next time.
Definitely but Tetris GB is downloadable, so it gets the nod due to convenience, for me. As far as a game, Tetris DS is much better (if you don't mind the new Tetris rules), but Tetris GB is great for what it's for, i.e. on-the-go Tetris.
Yeah... if I had known the GC version was busted I probably would gotten MM last time it was available.
And of course, if they do bring it back, it'll be 200 coins. Dicks.

damn, again not really doing anymore VC stuff until the new one drops, but while 200 coins is high, ive wanted punch-out and ive got like 900 sitting there & dont need a gold nunchuck in my life. ive got hundreds of more coins to register but there's nothing top-tier that i gotta have either, though ill prolly cave & get that 3DS pouch thing at some point.
Tetris GB makes no sense since i have the awesome DS one, but it's gotta be nostalgic as hell seeing/hearing it like that, makes it temping heh

Maybe they're waiting until E3 to announce anything further for the console. I want to buy some VC titles, especially since they removed the Donkey Kong Country series, but I have no idea what their WiiU VC plans are or even if purchases made on the Wii will carry over for potential WiiU versions of the same games. They should have made this stuff clear at launch.
They have such a rich back catalog and need to push it to my gamepad.

So I just realized that apparently I have an old Club Nintendo account tied to my Wii VC/WiiWare purchases (it has no coins currently but it has like 13 post play's pending) but I've been adding coins to my newer one which reached elite status. I could really use the 130 coins on my other account that I don't use anymore, is there any way I can call Nintendo up and have them somehow merge my accounts or something?
You can probably add it as a Family account. See the FAQ on their site, under Account Management. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/club/en/faq.jsp

You'll get a 50 point post play survey about a week after you register the XL AFAIK.
Hmm, I registered it on the 31st so it should be here in few days right? If not, is this something I should contact Nintendo support about?

i can't rank one over the other; the original has mad nostalgia but the SNES one is mad underrated too. ive got lotsa love for both, ive just never met anyone who dug one and not the other! heh, to each their own.
i bought Super Punch Out when it was a reward a few months back, last VC purchase ill make till we know what's up
Macho Madness

I would yeah.
Remember though unless you can hook your NES/Wii/Wii U up to a CRT or an expensive lagfree converter you'll have almost no chance to beat Punch Out.
I beat Mr. Dream once on a 2ms lag monitor after practicing for about a week. I can nearly beat tyson without looking at the screen on my old CRT back home.
3DS version doesn't have the lag.
