Club Nintendo has been getting worse and worse these past few years. Even JP CN doesn't let you redeem console codes anymore.

"Grandma, what are Nintendogs greeting cards?"
"The last of a golden age my child."
"Can I spend my points on them?"
"No, that would be a waste."
"But I already have 252 Donkey Kong games."
"Maybe next month they will have something different, like Kid Icarus."

I was going to get it but then I remembered I have the Super Famicom version.
Guess its another month of nothing. At least I'm getting a badass Link Between Worlds soundtrack from Japan.
Before people start acting dumb, the JPN Club Nintendo is awful in its own special ways.

I'm happy to see Kirby's Dream Course because I've never played it and I love Kirby, but yeah - CN is in pretty bad shape right now. I have about 1400 coins and not much to spend them on.
At least I was able to get the Game & Watch Ball several people have mentioned, but also the G & W Collections for the DS, Hanafuda cards, a sweet Majora's Mask soundtrack, 3 of those 3ds card cases, various reversible pouches for the 3ds, various Platinum rewards like the playing cards and pins, and whatever else I've forgotten about. Club Nintendo is a bummer in its current state, but at least I was able to snag some cool stuff over the years.

Why is NoA such garbage? Do they know that they're garbage? Are they aware that NoE and NoJ are not garbage?

Nintendo, just jack up the coin cost and put some better games on there.

My 3D World and Triple Deluxe soundtracks look great on my shelf.

Regarding Wii VC as rewards: Looking at the sales figures, a lot of people would be left out if they ditched Wii for Wii U rewards only. At least Zoda's Revenge can be played on U in compatibility mode. When it comes to U, the upgrade will be a buck. So, it's something.
Of course, I already downloaded Zoda's Revenge last time it was offered (on my U) with the expectation that it will come out for U VC soon, which it still hasn't. So there definitely is a redundancy issue. But realistically, if they changed things up as often as we'd like, it could become an excuse for us to not buy 1st Party VC until it becomes a reward.
I understand the complaints but I treat it as the freebie program it is and appreciate it as such. It's not a paid membership, so I kind of expect junk and am elated when something cool does come around. But heck, this time I got Wrecking Crew (too often I grab nothing). Sure, it isn't even a game I would pay money for, but hey whatever.
Now, it would be cool if Nintendo would team up with other companies (the ocassional poor selling VC title or ''Ninty'' indie), but I'm rather sure Nintendo sticks with their own stuff only because they'd have to pay those companies otherwise.

It seems to went to crap as I was joining. I really regret not getting the Link Between Worlds posters.
Does anyone know how many points you get for registering a wii u? I am going to have to make a new account when I get one next month.
I had a few hundred points on my old My Nintendo account but I forgot the password and my old email address is not accessable. I guess VC games are better than nothing.

turns out dumping all those coins on the Luigi statue was the right choice for me - i kept thinking "what if they ever do like NOE did with that zelda TP statue..." but that is not a fear at all based in reality at this point

Yo fuck this, it's the gameboy donkey Kong
The Animal Crossing posters are gone, huh? That was my only real experience with CN, but they were cool abut shipping out a corrected set of them for free after sending out the error set. So I have two sets of these posters in tubes collecting dust, I guess at least it's something because it's not a DL for a NES game.
