It was a reward last May I believe.

When I sign in the games all switch back to last month's offerings. Even if I click on Pilotwings while signed out, then sign in when prompted to, it boots me back to the rewards page with wrecking crew et al.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm using Chrome.
Edit: Nevermind, it just had to refresh again after signing in.

Well I guess it's a good thing I ended up using most of my coins last month. Not much here I want :/
Yeah. I know. I just didn't have the coins for it the last time.
Nice. $7.99 each for the 2 WiiU rewards. Looks like I will finally my next $5
that was my plan xD

I had it when I was a kid and was not impressed even then.
I'm pretty sure it gave me a lifelong hatred of pinball.
At least twice, if I recall. I just know it hasn't been up yet for console.

Here you are, complaining away while I wish I had more coins to spend ;_; Super Metroid is right there in the eShop. If that's the only thing you people want, it's no wonder they don't offer it for free.
Nah, man, come on. Take a step back and think about it for a bit. You just called Pilotwings and Metroid 2 dogshit games. The first is in a lot of people's greatest of all time lists and Metroid 2 definitely is in mine, while some of the others are at least interesting. Maybe not for you for whatever reason, but definitely for other people. Maximum Hyperbolia is a contagious disease that doesn't do anyone any good and I don't wish it on anyone.

KYB, you should post your treatise on Metroid 2, perhaps that'll convince some peeps to pick it up!

Maybe they'll have good rewards next month.

I'd be tempted to get Vegas Stakes but I hold out hope for more 3DS card cases being put up in the next year or two. I'd rather just pay the $9 or whatever it is for the ROM than waste 200 coins =/

you gamble until you win over 10 million
there are 5 or 6 different casinos with different backgrounds and music and betting limits and every once in a while someone will come up to you and present you with a choice about something. either they want to drill for oil and need your money or they are hurt or have a sick kid. They could be truthful or they could be scamming you. As a kid who was fond of playing cards I got addicted to just playing the game just to see what kind of stuff people would say when they came up to me.
Played a bit of Pilotwings. Not a bad game, though it's hard to get a hang of paragliding and trying to control the skydiver while he's falling. Otherwise, for a freebie, it's a neat look at what was basically a demonstration of what the SNES could do with Mode 7 near the system's launch.

GAF, how's Metroid II?

But it's so embarrassingly poorly written... OK!
In case anyone's on the fence about Metroid 2, here's a write-up i did about it a couple of months ago in one of maxcriden's threads:
Metroid 2 plays somewhat differently from the rest of the series. Instead of exploring a huge map, retreading your way after getting new items and power-ups to find previously unavailable passages, this game has a relatively more straight-forward map, which doesn't mean at all that there's no exploration. In order to advance, you must hunt down and kill the different kinds of Metroid in each area before before moving on to the next. A counter at the bottom of the screen lets you know how many Metroid you have left and seeing it slowly go down throughout the game until only 1 remains is very satisfactory. There are more Metroid types than in the other games, from the classic round thing to some really freaky and scary looking creatures. As expected, the atmosphere is superb and the extermination twist on the Metroid formula does wonders for the usual horror theme the series has going on. Things can get quite scary and tense, maybe more so than in the rest of the series. Sometimes just finding the discarded husk of a Metroid cadaver is enough to raise the tension in preparation for the incoming boss fight.
Most of the usual power-ups from the Metroid series can be found here, some of them for the first time: high jump, different suits, space jump, screw attack, missile expansions, bombs, jump ball, and so on, with the addition of the awesome sticky ball or whatever it is actually called (me and my friends called it the fried egg when we were kids). This one lets you stick to the walls and even the ceiling when in ball form, leading to some "interesting" exploration sessions.
To top things off, the graphics are great, particularly the Samus and different Metroid sprites. The music, by Ryoji Yoshitomi, who later worked on the Wario series, is just plain awesome if a bit scarce. If the song from the beginning doesn't get you itching to kick some Metroid ass, I'd check for a pulse, and the title screen music is downright beautiful. The whole final part of the game is particularly well done, with a great final boss and a nice ending sequence that leads directly to the Super Metroid intro.
Music samples: Title Screen / SR-388
If you like Metroid and haven't checked this game out, you owe it to yourself. All in all, it feels like a much modern game than Metroid that advanced the series towards the fan favorite, wonderful Super Metroid. Metroid 2 Return of Samus is also available on Virtual Console.
Whoa, crazy timing!
I did the same thing. You're good. Something is better than nothing.

Fine. I'll get Kirby's Pinball Land and Metroid II just because I haven't used my fucking coins in months.
Decided to get Metroid II since I really really want to spend my coins. Smash Wii U, Pokemon, Persona Q and Captain Toad are coming soon so they're going to increase my useless pile of coins again. I kinda wish I got myself Super Mario World and Super Metroid when they were up before. That was when we don't have the unified NNID update yet and I held back because I own them on the Wii VC already. Dammit Nintendo, why is it always like this on Club Nintendo every month?!

Oh man, I completely forgot getting these count toward the DDP....gah. I've played Vegas Stakes before and liked it.
Different Strokes for different folks.
Anyways, everyone get HYPED for Smash U. Soon we shall all have our orders placed for the soundtrack.

Here's a couple of comments I made on the last page about it. I'd say go for it if you haven't tried it before. It's definitely the best of the bunch imo.
Nobember, Dezember: Nintendo's going to come up with a new spelling for every month of the year.

First time in ages I'm getting a digital reward and can't even do that without hiccups. FFS Nintendo.
The chances of another Luigi statue showing up are next to nil so I don't think you did bad.
I think they want to get as many registrations in as possible before they start the print run. Makes sense I guess. These are looking to be a limited print run. No one should be denied a copy, after registering within the time frame, because Nintendo didn't have enough.
Yeah, I figure they would rather know in advance how many CDs they need to print & send out by getting everyone's registrations in instead of constantly having to make some, send them, then make more. They basically learned their lesson from the OoT 3D OST fiasco.
I just hate having to wait so long to hear some of those wonderful songs in my car....
