US/CAN Club Nintendo Thread: New and improved. Read the OP.

What is great is that once you do the post play survey, the games are even cheaper since you get some coinage back. 
Nintendo Emails you a code, don't see any reason why you can't wait a month or whenever to punch it in.

Get 3D Classics Kid Icarus guys, it's really good. I haven't played the original, but even if you have bad memories of it, apparently this version was "fixed" in some ways. Plus, the backgrounds are awesome.
It's just a lot of fun. And not as stupidly hard as you may have been led to believe.

These games seem kinda over... coined? I'd rather just spend $5 on Kid Icarus for example than to spend as many coins as I just got from registering a $200 system.
Yes. It's the second best 3D Classics title to Kirby's Adventure and it's the most improved of any of the titles. Save points replacing passwords, very lovely backgrounds that work well with the subtle 3D, and a much more friendly alternative control scheme. It's definitely worth 150 coins.
It's true that the cost has been increasing. But it's all relative value. I tend not to buy too many digital purchases because I want the exclusive physical gifts, but for someone that might not otherwise shell out cash for a game, paying in coins makes sense. I definitely wouldn't have bought Tetris (GB) on both our 3DS XLs if I had to pay cash for it, but given I have an over abundance of Club Nintendo coins, we now have it on both systems.
Ok thanks.

Sure. I just can't justify it personally. It's a nice selection this month though, at the very least.
Yeah, the kinda low value proposition is why I've been sitting on my 700 coins all year long. I guess Super Punchout is something I'd like to try but it just feels a little exorbitant, even when I tell myself that these are all just neat little bonuses. Guess I'm still waiting for the right game to push me over the edge.

Starship Defense looks fun...anyone confirm?
I haven't played it, but I recall it being hot shit amongst those who were back when it first came out.

Best DSiWare/tower defense game I've ever played.
Totally grabbing Kid Icarus. I was hoping they'd offer it at some point. Well done, Nintendo.

I never got around to getting the ambassador games, I bought a 3DS at launch and had a qualifying one but got rid of it before they announced the ambassador program. Is there any way I can still get them since I have proof of purchase of a qualifying 3DS (the registration and serial # on my CN account)? I wonder if I could call Nintendo and they hook me up.
I got Starship Defense last time it was a reward and I must say it's been the best one they have given out that I didn't already own. I've only gotten this, Birds and Bees, Mario Party 2 and Urban Champion.
Suprisingly addictive tower defense game.
Lol, wish you luck man. I can't play that game anymore due to the ragequitting.

I'll take Kid Icarus and Super Punch Out. And I'll take regular Punch Out when it's 30 cents.

Kid Icarus 3D Classic? Sweet, sign me up!
You know what I'm wondering is how the free game for registering an XL and Luigi or Pokemon is going to be delivered. Will it just be an account agnostic code like the Club downloads or will they perhaps be more sly and add it to your order history like the Ambassador games?

Great selection, but I'm saving up for the Hanafuda cards.

Picked up 3D Classics Kid Icarus - I have a bunch of coins expiring in June, so I need to spend that shit.

Man I wish Super Punch Out was for the 3DS.

Not bad. I'll grab Super Punch-Out.
I'm guessing it's got something to do with it.
It will probably be one of the title for the Wii U virtual console launch as well. You basically redeem 150 points + pay $1.50 to get the Wii U version. I didn't get it last time, so I'm not gonna miss it twice. I dunno about Kid Icarus 3D, but I'm really tempted since I enjoyed Uprising.Freezie KO

It's good. I picked it up the last time they offered it for coins. Pretty easy unless you go for the perfect medals, and even then, it's just a "normal" level difficulty IMO. But the mechanics are a lot of fun.

Fun fact: You can still order games from last month if you still have their page's URL. I just did it for Paper Mario.
I wonder if they de-activate them after some times, or if it's still possible to order games from last year if we still have the URLs.

They had "Intend to Buy" surveys up for the retail and digital editions, so I'd assume it will.

I can get it for you, we'll just say you'll owe me 150 CN coins. Like if there's a game I want someday you could get it for me.
Thank you!
Is there anyone who is not interested in the 3DS XL & Luigi's Mansion/Pokemon promotion and will be saving their 3DS XL code to register in the next Club Nintendo year?
I've never entered my 3DS code and I'd be willing to trade my unused 3DS code for an unused 3DS XL one that is being saved. They are worth the same amount of coins. I'm going to be picking up Luigi's Mansion and I'd really like to pick up Mario 3D Land or Professor Layton.
I also have a Paper Mario Code I picked up last month (I forgot I already had it on my Wii) that I'd be willing to trade or I can get you one of the downloadable titles available on Club Nintendo now or next month in exchange for a unused 3DS XL code.
PM me if you are interested in helping out.

It's not that tough, considering you have save points after every stage now. Given that, it's also easy to grind for hearts now. There are some challenging sequences (like the dungeons at the end of the each world), but it's more about just being careful and moving along slowly. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for you if you're really turned off by a challenge though, because I could see people not finding it quite as easy as me.

if there's save points and griding, i think i can do it
as long as difficulty is metroidish, i think... i got this :/
welp, for 150 points, i guess ill give it a go
Real men play with classic controls.

I think it's the second best 3D Classics title and definitely looks pretty nice. Simple 3D is the best 3D. If you have the coins to burn, go for it! If you want to go really old school, draw a map for the dungeons. They're really big and confusing (think Legend of Zelda overworld), but pretty fun to navigate.
