Club Nintendo is Being Replaced

[irixith]

I ended up grabbing Doc Louis Punchout (and even played it today!), leaving myself 30 points left over. I couldn't pass up a unique tie-in like this that was never available for purchase.

That said, and I may start a new thread but Nintendo is still charging 1000 points ($10) for these main WiiWare titles like ExciteBike. Man, why not cut stuff in half for those still interested in the console?

That is pricey considering many Wii disc games can now be bought for under five bucks. Fortunately (so far) the Wii console is supported to still allow buying the WiiWare games, shame that is none of the few Wii online options left.

I have a slim hope that more of the download only games be released on disc such as the Bit Trip series and Tetris Party Deluxe. Right now the Nintendo Shop has 48 Wii demos offered for free download (have 52). A few of the game demos are well done; very tempting to buy the full versions.

Tetris Party Deluxe did get an expanded disc release. So did Bit.Trip.Complete. Time for you to start hunting.

Edit: Oh, never mind, I see what you're saying, you want OTHER games released. Definitely unlikely on the Wii...

Agree, this late in the game doubtful there will be any more discs released for the Wii. There is also the 101 Megamix, Groovin Blocks and Geon (PSN). I wish there were a Strong Bad compilation disc of the Wiiware series.

Ironic what is happening to the WiiU such as Punchout and rumors of Pikmin 3 going digital only. Now that I played the Doc Louis version (love the sideways NES control option), I really need to jump on the Wii Punchout version before it gets priced insanely crazy later on.

Oh and a few WiiWare games that really caught my eye due to playing the free demos. And Yet It Moves and MotoHeroz (Excitebike wheelie control) and Vampire Crystals. That Vampire Twinstick played game is no longer available as a demo!

Got my Majora's Mask bag today, it feels like a sturdy shopping bag (you know the ones that are all the rage at Whole Foods and the like) Graphic is nice and a bit subtle, overall not bad for free.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Elite gifts. Or was it mentioned in another thread that I missed? I haven't been frequently the boards as much the last few weeks.

I'll have to look again, but I was pretty disappointed with the game selection. All the ones I would want I already have.

There are no exclusive to Club Nintendo Elite prizes this year, all can be purchased by anyone at the Nintendo regular download site! As far as exclusive Club Nintendo (but not as Platinum or Gold) there is only Wii Doc Louis Punchout and Wii Grill Off Hand games. I guess a half hearted satisfaction for Wii owners considering the Elite prizes offered are only WiiU and 3DS download games.

The Animal Crossing Cards came in, two sets pair of blue and red decks. One set for daughter and one set for my collection of Club Nintendo Physical Prizes. Woosh, these cards are small, a business card has a bigger foot print!

Spice up your favorite card game with these Animal Crossing™ Playing Cards. A character from the game is featured on each card.

• Standard 52 card set (+2 jokers)
• Includes protective case
• Product Dimensions: 3.75 x 2.6 x 1 inches; 4.4 ounces

WRONG! Animal Crossing Cards are only 2.5" x 1.75". The site had an update reflecting the smaller size.

Ended up getting Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Wii with the coins I had left.

A shot in the dark but is anyone willing to spare uneeded coins? I have 210 left and the only thing I really want is that Doc Louis Punchout DLC for the wii which is 250 so I need 40 more coins.

^March 31st was the last day you could earn coins, so I think you're out of luck there :/ Kind of lame that they did that imo...

So small can fit the cards in the Animal Crossing game case when spaced out evenly with a six card holder! I wouldn't do that, but a thought for ready reference of the characters to meet.

My second Zelda courier bag came in. Looking forward to the Puzzle sets to be shipped to store in the bag.
