2014 Club Nintendo Elite Gifts Speculation!!

[JCnator]

The Gold/Platinum rewards for this year had me wondering on what is exactly Nintendo of America's direction with Club Nintendo, especially when there's also the the currently thin lineup of standard rewards. I mean, I'm not against to the free games, but the fact that they're not exclusive at all and are download-only doesn't help making Club Nintendo so special in first place. They might as well just let us convert coins for eShop credit in a similar fashion of Nintendo of Europe's Club Nintendo, instead of putting 4 random games in a monthly basis and giving a plethora of games as the yearly rewards. If NOA isn't going to sustain their initial promises, they should revise the Club Nintendo system accordingly.

All ranting aside, I picked Game & Wario for my Wii U. I kinda wanted the game, but the steep price kept me from doing an actual purchase. I already have all of the available VC games and all 3DS Download Games aren't even interesting to me. And I already have Donkey Kong Country Returns for my Wii, so...

Do we get DDP points off the reward games? I know we do off regular reward games, I hope so cause NES Remix will award me my second $5 code this week if so.

Do people forget that exists? For WiiU Deluxe owners only (White 8GB units excluded)

 

[JCnator]

I think you should get DDP points if you use any code of a Wii U software. For example, Game & Wario gives you 299 points.

 

[n64king]

I swear something didn't give me points one time but I can't remember what it was anymore. How mildly handy though, it's a slight double dip. You get your reward and a minor side reward if you're getting a WiiU prize

 

[RayOfHope]

Wow... Super disappointing. :/ I'm glad I registered everything last year, then.

Ended up going with Earthbound. Looking forward to playing it.

Yea it's down for maintenance right now .

Which actually means their bandwidth is at 500% and if less people would go on it would cool off. I bet you there's no work of any kind being done anywhere. Unless of course maintenance counts as a bandaid on the problem until next time? lol

Since my SD card is nearly out of space, I decided to sell my prize to for TBT. I would have gotten Super Mario Land 2 otherwise. I was hoping for a calender, I guess I'll have to hope for next year!

 

[Kirito]

Wow :\ only things to chose from is downloadable games.

Wow, the prizes are super booty this year. :c

lmao I'm so mad
this was the first year I decided to join club nintendo (because of the free Pokemon X/Y download) and actually register everything I own to reach platinum. just my luck that this year would be the one where there weren't any exclusive/physical rewards.
I don't even care if the physical reward was lame, as long as its, y'know, exclusive to the people that spent money and time to reach elite status.
I know nintendo doesn't have to give us anything at all, but this is just a major disappointment in comparison to previous years.

At the very least, they should've had some exclusive games to choose from.

This year's basically a slap to the face for anyone that already has all these reward options.

 

[Story]

Going to get Donkey Kong, sell the code, then get two games from Best Buy's buy one get one free.

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll be taking advantage of that deal once the 20th rolls around.

 

[Cress]

This absolutely sucks. I might have another giveaway.

My feelings exactly...

 

[nammie]

I am so angry lmao how are these even exclusive items?? I mean considering it takes like $600 to reach platinum you'd think they'd give SOME kind of physical gift, not ****ty downloadable games that most people who want them probably already bought to just reach platinum status.

I thought nothing could be worse than last year's gifts, can't believe I was proven wrong.

I feel even more sorry for people who have DSs/Wiis instead of 3DS/WiiU, they can't even get anything.... and the only games I actually want are for WiiU which I don't have and don't plan to buy anytime soon sigh

 

[windfall]

I want to play Earthbound, but I don't have a WiiU and I'm not getting one in the foreseeable future, nor do I want to emulate it :/

I got dkcr3ds but I really suck at platforming games so I'll just have it for when I'm bored, I guess.
I wish there was some sort of physical prize, even if it was just a calendar or poster set.

Next year, I guess?

Better not be next year because I'm done with club nintendo. This is 3 years in a row I've been disappointed. I joined because I wanted cool stuff like that Mario figurine in 2010(maybe) and every year it's been like posters and cheap games. Why does Nintendo keep disappointing me? They try to save money but everything they do just pushs people away from them. I'm glad I actually didn't get platinum. But I was hoping for at least a calendar but nope.
