So Nintendo decided not to go with any physical rewards this year Bummer. These are the awards.

I went with Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. If you were eligible, what did you get?

I'll probably go with Wario Land 2.
Either that or Super Mario Land 2
OMG THERE's A FLUIDITY ON 3DS MUST HAVE
I'm only gold this time..

EDIT: Yep, went with Wario Land 2.

I'll finally be able to play Earthbound.

So spending $500 gets me a $20 game?

Apparently, because Nintendo seems to be cutting their budget on Club Nintendo.

Why couldn't it be a retail game instead?

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Game & Wario are both retail games.

No, spending $500 gets you $500 worth of games with monthly free game downloads and a special reward, being one more free game download. It's a good value to me. If you bought $500 worth of games on any other platform, you would get no such bonuses.

Donkey Kong country 3d for me.

Dang it, I wish I would've gotten Platinum this year so I could have played Earthbound.

Well, guess i'll get Super Mario Bros, it's the only one of the 3 NES Mario's that I don't have.

But the other platinums are pretty cheap.

I wanna play Earthbound so bad but I'm only a gold. Not really interested in the gold games. It feels like a waste because out of my options I wouldn't play any of them very often.

FREE EARTHBOUND SO MUCH YES. Of course, seeing as I just got my Wii U, I find this gift decent. I can understand how those who've had the Wii U for awhile would be pretty disappointed, especially when Japan gets an adorable Yoshi plush and Super Mario tape. I sure hope playing Mother 3 first doesn't screw up the Earthbound experience for me. <.<;

I'm pretty certain I was gold until they reset me and decided to NOW do this promotion.

****.

If you were gold then you still get a reward. They reset everyone, it's a new Club Nintendo year.

Yeah, I'd much prefer tape to a free game.

It's still exclusive, you can get these games for less than ten dollars on the EShop. Those 2 prizes are still fairly lame compared to the last few years' prizes (Doc Louis' Punch Out, LOZ:Majora's Mask soundtrack, Mario Pins, and the huge Mario trophy), but they are still something cool.

At last we don't have to wait till Christmas to get our prizes.
