I would jump on Mario 64 if it wasn't the damn Wii version...

Oh. Yeah, that stinks. At least Super Metroid won't be there for long with it coming out next month on the Wii U VC proper.

They shouldn't ditch Wii rewards just yet, but they should add a Wii U tier.
Honestly, there are probably so many people with only Wii systems and coins that there's probably going to be some fuss made when they do drop Wii rewards.

GBA VC = 10 games, only for Ambassadors.
I think the problem is Nintendo doesn't have any self-published games on Wii U eShop yet, and with the rare exception those are the ones they make available. I bet once the VC goes up, what we would have otherwise gotten in Wii VC games will transition to Wii U.
Assuming the release trickle is fast enough to support it...

Unfortunately only this so far, and if I remember right they only announced GBA VC for the Wii U for some stupid reason.
I really hope GBA VC does come to 3DS eventually, I'd also love Golden Sun (still have the cartridges), FFTA, Advance Wars, and the Castlevanias.
New Games - until May 5th
3DS
Kirby's Pinball Land - 150 coins
3D Classics: Urban Champion - 150 coins
Wii
Super Mario 64 - 200 coins
Super Metroid - 150 coins
3D Classics: Urban Champion - AGAIN!? Is this like the 3rd time this game has been on Club Nintendo and still no Kirby 3D classics
Kirby's Pinball Land - No I still have the cartridge and I can play it on my GBA SP+
Super Metroid - lol no, Not wasting the coins I'll just buy it for 30¢
Super Mario 64 - MAYBE, if only to save me from buying it for full price on the Wii U. If I had this Wii version I'd only have to pay the upgrade fee to play on the GamePad screen whenever they get around to putting it up on the Wii U eShop.

Grabbing Mario 64, no doubt. Best thing is, I can get it for points here and upgrade to the eventual Wii U version for diddly. That said, why 200 points instead of 150? Considering that previous N64 rewards have been 150, I feel like Nintendo is arbitrarily setting these point values. "Hey, I bet a lot of people will redeem Mario 64 as a reward; let's charge more points for it." Good business.
Already have Super Metroid on Wii. Going to get the 30 cent version for Wii U to save the $1.20 from the full upgrade fee.
Will probably skip Kirby's Pinball Land. Even if it were 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure, I wouldn't have bought because of the Wii U promotion this month.
Nintendo's just trolling with Urban Champion at this point. WTF?

I might get Super Mario 64. Already have Super Metroid on the Wii, but I plan on getting the Wii U version when it's up for download for $0.30 for off-screen play and Miiverse.
Donkey Kong '94 for me. Still holds up, and is a fantastic game. Probably would also consider Pictobits (even though I bought this before then) and Mario's Picross as well. That's just me though, and off the top of my head.

More or less, yeah. The only reason I've gotten any of the Wii VC games lately is I don't already have the cart or it's not one of the 30 cent games (like SM) so I'll just use the coins now then pay the buck or whatever to upgrade later.

This will be the first year I reach Double Platinum.
Such a waste of coinsssss
I feel your pain. I did that one year...
I wouldn't bet on it.
I already have Mario 64 from my Wii days, but for those on the fence about it, think about it this way:
If it does come to Wii U via proper VC, it will have a $10 price tag. If N64 games can be upgraded like NES and SNES games can (little reason to doubt they eventually will), you'll probably be saving yourselves $8 in the long run.

These are some of the best rewards I've seen. I would have gotten Super Metroid but it seems pointless as it will be up for 30 cents on the Wii U VC soon. So, I redeemed Super Mario 64 even though I still have the cart and a N64.
I don't have Mario 64 already. I do have the cart, but I don't have my N64.
I have the DS version but I haven't played it in years. I know it sucked on the DS, but how well does it hold up with the aid of the 3DS' circle pad? It still won't be ideal I know, but if it's playable then I won't bother re-buying it.

Same, getting Super Metroid for the Wii U. Mario 64 is really tempting since otherwise it's $10 for a game which I still own along with my old N64. It might take some time before N64 games are accessible on the Wii U virtual console and we will have to pay the extra fee to port them over (perhaps $2 for N64 games?).
We need to fight for this. You have my ax.

Thanks to whoever gave the link to Kid Icarus! I was waiting on these games and was ecstatic to see Super Metroid, only to realize it isn't for 3DS Hopefully I like Kid Icarus!
And how come all you fools talks about Platinum so much, what am I missing?

What were the platinum gift options for Japan last winter? I was reading the OP and was wondering because supposedly that's what is likely to be our gifts for this year and I'd like to know what that is ?

I believe they had a choice between an original DSiWare game called "Nintendo Boy", a rad-looking Pikmin tote bag, or the same deck of playing cards we got last year.

It controls really well with a thumb stylus.
The circle pad just emulates the dpad. It's still 8-way on-off control, not analog.

hmmm, was hoping for some posters this year. Those Zelda ones were so good. Ah well free is free. I will likely go with the bag if that's what is this year.
