So I believe this is the last time I listen to GAF consensus when choosing titles to buy. I was convinced Game and Wario would be barebones garbage. It's not. It's brilliant,
Some mini games are meh, like Patchwork, but Gamer, Ski, Arrow, The camera game Miiverse sketch and some of the multiplayer stuff is absolutely fantastic. I love that I got this for free, but the original $40 asking price isn't too far off the mark.
Apparently, so does Nintendo, given that it is offered alongside $10 games.Metascore: 61
Metacritic user score: 60
Believe me, you're in the minority if you think this game is brilliant. I thought this game should have been a $10 download rather than a $40 retail game.

Do you think that all minigame collections should only cost $10? Or do you think Game & Wario is lacking compared to other games of its type? I ask this because a large portion of the market seems to have arbitrarily decided that certain types of games should cost less money than others, regardless of how well-made they are or how much content they contain. People who don't buy into that bullshit line of thinking could easily find $40 worth of entertainment in a minigame collection such as Game & Wario, provided that the minigames are creative and fun to play. (I haven't played it myself, so I wouldn't know if this is the case.)

There is a hope it will be extended, but it's officially only announced through December this year. There isn't a Basic set anymore (not really, anyways), so why continue to offer a "bonus" for the only real set on the market?
I was going to get DKCR3D, but one of my friends just got a Wii U and is looking to get Super Mario Bros.
Might end up getting that for him.
I'm actually happy about this (am I the only one?) because I live outside the states so I can't get the physical stuff anyway.
Now the only question is: what to pick?
I don't have a Wii U, and I already played Dillion, the mario side-scrollers and Kid Icarus..
Anyways as a Gold Reward guy who already has SMB on Wii VC and has no interest in old Gameboy games, I've narrowed it down to Ice Climbers and Donkey Kong 3.
Been watching a lot of videos of these games in action. If I go with the Climbers I'll earn a few points being its a U title. DK3 however looks like a more fun pick up and play game that's perfect for 3DS. Think I'm going to go with DK3.
Actually I'm excited to play it!

I've been getting into it too. It's pretty hilarious and awesome so far. The presentation alone is top-notch.
eBay will be filled with digital codes now.
game & wario seems.. not good. and i love the series. maybe the really good games are unlocked after the first four?
Hahaha, what a hit. Daylightrobbery.com.Saw a few offers and there's one with $13 shipping fee to Canada!!!
I wonder, with all the people complaining to NOA about the rewards this year do you think next year's rewards will actually be good? I hope so because I'm already close to hitting Platinum again.
Not a chance. I'd say it's pretty clear what direction they're heading in with the Club's offerings overall. I wouldn't be surprised to see all-digital rewards eventually (which I personally wouldn't mind).I wonder, with all the people complaining to NOA about the rewards this year do you think next year's rewards will actually be good?

I haven't read the whole thread, have people been complaining to Nintendo?
What a bunch of babies. While I generally prefer disc games, I'm thrilled to get a $40 retail game. I've been waiting to find G&W on the cheap, so can't get much better than free. Been looking forward to trying out 'Gamer' for a while, and it's nice to see some decent comments on the game in this thread.
I see people comment all the time that Nintendo is trying to prevent people from getting Platinum. I doubt that is the case - the more people who get platinum, the cheaper the reward will be per person. Tough year for Nintendo = less platinum members = crappy gift.
DKCR:3D is excellent.
I implore those who haven't played it, to check it out. I bought it at retail in May of last year and I really enjoy the game.
The best thing about it:
It's a fucking portable Retro Studios game. In 3D.
its a damn good game, tough as shit, too
My wife and I love patchwork, but besides that, I agree. G&W gets so much unfair criticism.So I believe this is the last time I listen to GAF consensus when choosing titles to buy. I was convinced Game and Wario would be barebones garbage. It's not. It's brilliant,

But worth it if I have the wii version? It's only 30fps. In leaning towards NES remix instead since I own DKR on the Wii
Picked up Game & Wario despite all the criticism. Couldn't be more satisfied for a free title, let alone the fact that it still retails for $40 CAD around here. And the presentation alone is too good to pass up, not a bad Platinum gift after all.
