I just kept trying and eventually got on, despite getting that message a few times. Don't give up!

That "sorry" page loads like it's cached though.

I think I'm going to get a lot of these games. Really excited to see Wii U versions of most of the SNES classics. I'm not planning on collecting physical releases of them, so I'm happy to see the digital releases of them, for Wii U.

Super Metroid
Earthbound
Super Punch Out

Holy crap, full retail releases of Wonderful 101, Kid Icarus, etc.

I'm going to blow through my coins.

I tried refresh and no luck either. West Coast is awake now, so slim chance of getting logged in for a while. Ah well, nothing of interest for me, still hoping additional prizes will be placed later. I would hate getting a couple of 700-800 basic prizes; then get surprised by a decent reward placed later on and not have enough coins. Doubtful additional prizes will appear though that has happened before. :?

Out of curiousity, anyone recall how many coins were needed for the Game Watch Repo last year?

No rush on the DLC, should be plenty of back stock. Why not buy the retail disc and cart games later on as cheaper used?

Earthbound for 250 coins is a pretty good deal given it was a $14.99 release to the VC (versus usual $7.99 for SNES games).

I only have one (Mario Pinball Land) but I like how the Advance games play and look on the GamePad.

Thing is, I can get the site to load every once in a while. But it's broken. I finally got to sign in, but by the time I was able to enter a game code I was signed out. The site is simply broken right now, and I know that by the time I get to get one and redeem stuff, all the cool physical prizes will be gone.

Super Smash Brothers
Paper Mario
Mario Kart 64

These would all be excellent choices, given the prices of their carts, but you'd need classic controllers, and I don't think they'd control as well as their originals.

I think I've decided.

Earthbound
Super Metroid
F-Zero
Super Punch-Out
Punch Out featuring Mr. Dream - Mike Tyson's Punch Out is definitive.

The physical rewards that are cool to me:
Majora's Mask Puzzle
Messenger Bag
3DS Pouch

I might get one of these, and then snag a few games I really want.
