Club Nintendo is Being Replaced

[retrosportsgamer]

The Gold and Platinum Rewards will come out in March.

Hope no one wasted coins on a download; that download game just might be your March Reward. ALL DOWNLOAD GAMES WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 30, 2015.

Last year the Gold rewards were in line with those download options out now, so a fair point. If you're platinum, you're looking at a step up.

Bah! I have over 3500 coins and nothing to buy!

Just buy some of the physical goods. If you don't like them when they arrive, sell them and buy some games or whatever else you'd prefer. Hell, maybe you could sell a couple of canvas bags and have enough to pick up a couple of the old SFC controllers you so want.

Well, I was finally able to log in and order the Zelda puzzle. Thing is, I have about 6 games that I need to register (I was holding off because I already reached Platinum this year) and once I do I'll probably be able to grab another physical item. But, now the website isn't even letting me log in. At least I was able to order something.

I was able to grab the messenger bag about an hour ago. But yeah, same deal here, Ziggy...booted.

[Blu]

Yeah, I have about 500 coins leftover, want to snag Earthbound, but know it's not urgent. I am 100 coins from Platinum and I just want to get it done, is there a code for Bayonetta 2?

That, and I'm not a huge fan of cart only DS / 3DS games, so I'm not quite sure I like the 18 cart holder. Do any of you all collect cart only 3DS games? What's the allure, other than for trips and having to haul all your plastic around?

Edit: Holy shit, cart only Ocarina of Time 3D is 40ish bucks. Complete is 50+

[s1mplehumar]

is there a code for Bayonetta 2?

Yes. I registered it last night.

I prefer the boxes but I keep them on a shelf down in the basement with all my other stuff and I have a case for the games themselves that's upstairs with the system. Just convenience. I play my 3DS a lot in the summer out on the back patio so it just saves from running downstairs every time I want to play something and mostly just keeps it all in one convenient place.

[Tanooki]

I don't see the allure to that. I've got around 20 3DS games and they get stashed in two places only. They're in the original box on this wall mounted little shelf I have, and then the top most used/interesting at the time 7 games go within this red zipper case with 6 slots with the 7th staying in the system.

I think with the size you're just asking to screw yourself having those cards just loose as they're SD card small and SD card easy to lose.

Still can't get anywhere with their crappy network to sign in and snap something up. The page pops up, then the little logging into animation just does a sit and spin.

Good point, might just do that and possibly do a trade here on Racketboy. Already had one PM asking about that. Not looking for a killing as that beyond silly 1000 dollar bag for auction at Ebay. Just a fair trade with consideration eventually the items (though not that great) will become a limited collectable. Everything is still up on the slow loading Nintendo site, leading to earlier suspicions that a count is being tallied before the manufacture of the product.

If anyone has that SFC Classic Controller for trade, I am ready to click the Club Nintendo site!

[Sarge]

So what does everyone think will become the rarest of those collectibles? I'm in debate mode whether to acquire a few digital games (that I generally already have in cart form) or get something that might be worth more down the road.

I may have answered my own question, even though I typically don't go for tchotchkes.
