Yep, just checked, too. Price is still "TBD," so maybe they wait for the price to be set before putting up an ITB for the digital version?

It says "Coming to Nintendo eShop"
There's no way Brain Age, of all games, wouldn't get an eShop release. Come on. The very idea is just stupid.
EDIT: lulz
Hmmm. I wish you luck. Don't feel obligated to take one for the team, but please let me know if it disappears on you.
FWIW, I did mine in eight (and it also showed no date at the far right of my queue), and that was in part because I didn't realize the CN link activated the survey until later, when I actually went digging through the paperwork.
That said, I'd be shocked if it actually did stick around forever. Past 30 even seems excessive.

Fixed.
So I did the Intend to Buy survey for Fire Emblem on Monday but it hasn't popped up on my to-do list. I went back the list of games available for Intend to Buy surveys but only Brain Age is there. Will I still get bonus coins from the survey when FE becomes available for registration on Feb 4th?
The To-Do list for an ITB is to register the game, which can't happen until the game is released.
Ah okay that makes sense, thanks.
No problem. I've done the same thing (looking for a reminder in my To-Do list from an ITB) and learned from it.

I don't see the ds card cases even showing up in the unavailable section anymore. :/ I was hoping they'd come back.
they probably will, and hopefully with some new f'ing covers next time. but it could take a few months.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So to get or not to get Mr. Dream for my 3ds (no I'm not an ambassador).
Punch-Out! is not an ambassador game.
It's a great game, but I'd sooner spend $5 on it and save the 200 coins to use towards a more expensive game.

If you have a WiiU, it'll be 30 cents in a few months.
Otherwise, if your thinking of getting it I would say spend $5 instead of 200 coins. You should probably save any coins you have for physical stuff since sooner or later, they will have something new and it may just be something really good.
Its worth $5 imo. Only played some of it on the Wii VC but its pretty awesome. Very hard.

What the what?! Who are these people that chose to throw their coins away?!

They must have been pretty desperate for something new. Or are hardcore Yoshi fans.
Or have expiring coins. But I can think of better things (ie. almost everything else) to spend those coins on. =\

How can you tell if you have expiring coins?
We know it lasts for at least a month. No expiry date is listed on the registrations, so we assume you have a long time, but we don't know for sure.

Euro Nintendo member here, looking for a gold nunchuk. I've got 6300 stars with the European CN that I'd be happy to give to anyone who can help!

Quoting to thank GAFer eggwolio who is going to help out with this. I've ordered the Mario statue for you, and I'll let you know when it arrives.
Cheers!
It's I who should be thanking you, sir. That mario statue was the only platinum reward I've missed so far.

No worries - glad I could help!
I wish I had thought ahead earlier -- I would have gladly ordered a spare gold Nunchuk to swap for a SNES Classic Controller...
If you're looking for collectibility's sake, ignore me, but if you want it for playing games, you should check out this thread over at benheck: http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=71972
Also, haven't they added 2 player options to some of the NES games on the 3DS's virtual console? Why not the Game Boy games, as well? I just redeemed coins for Tetris for my girlfriend and I, but there is no two player mode available.

If you still have I'll take it.
I just bought an eShop code for Unchained Blades -- but it occurred to me that I didn't remember those codes ever being sold, so I PROBABLY bought either a review/reward code.
The game works, but I was wondering ... does anyone know if eShop codes generally give registration/reward surveys?
I'd hate to think that I'm missing out on coins now...

Ah, a new one of those -- I'd consider it, but I can't solder (cough cough) and the prices quoted for assembled ones always seems scary.
I -would- love a GameCube to Wii Remote adapter as well...
NES games just requires setting the second system as a dumb controller with a locked emulator... 2 player GB games require emulating the Link Cable, with is supposed to be fairly difficult...
I got a registration survey for Fire Emblem, which I downloaded using a review code a few days ago.
When I did the same thing with Johnny Kung Fu, I didn't get any surveys, though.
Soldering is fairly simple and quite gratifying. There's some good tutorials on YouTube. I plan to make a couple for myself, but can't justify the spending right now on something which will realistically not get much use other than a conversation piece. I mean, I'll use it, just doubt that it will inspire me to play much more on the virtual console than I do now, which is rarely.
It's too bad there weren't any Sega games on the Game Boy, because M2 would have figured it out!

I asked this in the stupid gaming questions thread but didn't get an answer:
Why can't you gift games in the eShop. I was going to send my brother Gunman Clive and couldn't believe there was no gift option.
Any plans for the ability later?

I doubt it. This is Nintendo we're talking about.
It's ironic since as far as I know Nintendo originated the concept of gifting game downloads on the Wii. What happened since then?
I was gonna say, I wonder if they found so few actually used the Wii Shop's gift functionality that they decided there was insufficient benefit for the cost of offering it.

Is anyone will to buy me a code for Tetris on CN? And in return, I'll get you a game in return (likely starting with the upcoming batch), preferably of the same worth, but anyway, to me Tetris is a must have since it is like THE thing of the GB before Pokemon, hell I'm shocked it's even being offered.
If that's true, Nintendo should have known it was likely a consequence of its implementation. If possible on a healthy eShop with a real friend list like 3DS and Wii U, I'm sure many people would purchase gifts.

Sent you a PM.
The game license system changed from being hardware-based to account-based (with account tied to one hardware at a time). Maybe it has something to do with being able to tie more than one 3DS to a Club Nintendo account? Not sure why that'd be a problem with the current system, though.
