Nintendo of America has revealed the prizes that are up for grabs if you’ve collected enough Club Nintendo coins. The Platinum prizes for users who earned 600 Coins or more is a selection of three new posters which feature promotional art from Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Kid Icarus: Uprising. The other platinum gift you can choose is a new set of Super Mario playing cards
Gold prizes, for those of you that have earned 300 coins or more, is a special Nintendo 2013 calendar. Nintendo has yet to reveal the images which are going to be included, but you can be sure there will be plenty of Wii U related images. Gold or Platinum members can also opt to ignore all of the physical prizes and instead receive a free digital download. The games available are Super Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask from the Wii Virtual Console, Metroid II: Return of Samus from the 3DS Virtual Console and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! from DSiWare.
Thanks Justin.
i like penis in my butt, FIRST.
The but your not the real Peter1uss
too late fake peter1uss and go to hell
i is the real one. i got the red logo as always, faker.
How’d you get so famous?
no no and again no!i changed my gravatar i said.ask mister sickr if ya want…@soap mactavish.
?
Can’t let you do that peteriuss1.
Oh, but you can.
Do a barrel roll!
Hell yeah, Metroid II FTW! I’m not from USA, so a digital download instead of fisical prize it’s something unexpected but more than welcome (i tought i couldn’t get anything from my platinum status).
NP… I have Platinum status for the first time this year and I don’t know what I want to claim… I think I might go for TLOZ: Majora’s Mask.
Brosky get the playing cards, you can get LOZ MM on PC and run it on an emulator with advanced OpenGL and extensive texture uprez, basically Zelda Majora’s Mask HD edition. And it’s free.
And it is illegal!
Uhm, No its not…
If you own a physical copy of a game, and the intended hardware it runs on, then legally you can download and emulator on as many devices you want and “pirate” said game.
What if I downloaded it onto my Wii, basically the copy is supposed to be licensed to me right?
Don’t waste your platinum gift on a game you could buy for very cheap :P
So when will these become available?
That’s what I want to know. Anyone care to elaborate?
you get these by the end of the year
FUCK AMERICA
Because it’s America’s fault that a japanese corporation with operations in America offers crappy prizes this time around.
I’d get a game
I’d get your mom.
So many swags up for grabs… especially the Super Mario playing cards!!!!!
good image bro!^
Thanks buddy! *thumbs up… non-specific action figure style*
caching! together wiiU
……………smh
the pic its beast ^^^^
i have 500 coins!!!! so close to 600…
I have plenty of stars but we don’t have Club Nintendo here…
if i’m in south america i can’t get the super mario playing cards? D:
Heh. IGNorant.
I gotta say, this year’s prizes are a bummer. I own all those games up for download (though it’s cool others have that option). I don’t need more posters. I would never want to open those cards (though I most likely would). With that being said, since I earned Platinum I’m torn between the Skyward Sword poster (I can always take down that no-longer-funny Chuck Norris poster) or the playing cards. At least the cards would make a great conversation starter at parties.
Don’t get too bummed ;) we in the uk get no bonuses! So count your lucky star shards
I’m strugglin between the epic Luigi’s Mansion poster or and the fun Mario playing cards. All the prizes are great, but I got the downloads already and the other things arent as interestin. I’m leanin more towards the cards, though cuz I’d never wanna damage that Luigi’s Mansion poster so it’d never see the light of day, haha
If you put up your (i bet awesome) luigis mansion poster I will open the seal on my 3 year old club Nintendo hanafuda cards…..maybe lol
Haha nahh you are soon to enter the “collectors” phase. I say keep that bad boy sealed up and sell it in 10 more years
Do you collect yourself?
go for the card if you want collectables im a take the posters buy a couple of cheap $5 poster frames and hang it on my wall. hey at least it’s better than last years crappy nintendo button/pin collection. the best gift they gave was the 2010 smb statue/figurine
I don’t get it, you can pick one game that is worth 100-150 points for earning 300-600 points.
It’s an option. And you aren’t spending the 100-150 for it, you get it FREE for totaling 300-600. What if you don’t want the calendar? Well you can get a free game (if you don’t have one of those). Before it was accept the calendar or get nothing. So something > nothing.
It’d be better with more options as I already have all 4 games.
A special Nintendo 2013 calendar?
YES!
Makes me glad I decided to register nearly my entire library of Wii games this past Christmas. Gold membership eff tee dubs!
I’m platinum but I want the calendar. Can I get it instead? It’s better than playing cards I’ll never use :P
Yes, all Gold rewards are available to platinum members.
How about giving the european club nintendo something new instead of wii hats and game holders?!…
I hate posters and would never hang one in my room because they are simply too cheesy to call a “decoration.” Also what can I do with a pack of cards?…I’ll probably lose them….So I guess free digital download it is :)
“Cheesy”??? You fail. I love my “history of mario games” poster 8)
The cards look pretty cool, but I wouldn’t want to open them. The posters don’t excite me because I would rip them, and I’m sure they’ll be prizes available for coins eventually. I mean skyward sword was already technically, no interest in luigi’s mansion =/ but kid icarus uprising is awesome so I’d get that one, but I think I’d perfer a game. I own mini’s march again because I got it for free from club nintendo already, so its a toss up between Majora’s mask, which I’ve never played and want to really bad, and a metroid game, which I’d love to play metroid, but I’ve never played a metroid game before actually so I’d want to start from the begining in all honesty, but I’m poor xD. And if I go Majora’s mask, chances are they remake it. So Mertoid it is I guess. And no calendar for me, because I could just make my own using scans of the pics or something.
One game for the 3DS? Only one?
2, Mini’s March Again and Metroid II.
Are those cards meant to be a tribute to Nintendo’s previous business?
Well, it is free stuff, so you can’t complain.
not free. took time to fill out surveys.
dang it… I am torn… I want Majora’s Mask and the playing cards… But seeing as I can buy Majora’s Mask I guess I’ll go with the playing cards.. Collector hoarding………. I haven’t opened my free Kid Icarus cards yet…. Very tempted but I am hoping they might be worth something in the future… lol ugh but I want to know what they are… hrmmm….. I miss collecting cards.
Either gonna go with the cards or Majora’s Mask. The only MM copy I have is the collector’s edition disc, and it can have odd frame-rate issues.
All this is crap. And no, I don’t care whether it’s free or not, it’s still crap.
Those posters are actually awesome.
I missed the only year where the platinum was actually something worth getting! That statue. -_-
It’s cool that we get to choose between a lot of things, but to be honest I’m dissapointed.
I think that Nintendo took so long, because first they said let’s give platinum members some Mario cards. When Mr. Miamoto saw this he said at least give the an option to choose something else then some lame cards. So after a week of debating they give us this crap.
If you have Platinum can you redeem both a Platinum reward and a Gold reward? Say the posters and then the calendar?
Holy crap… the rewards this year suck. Look at what they give their Japanese Club members.
This. It really pisses me off how Nintendo of (insert foreign country) gets shit options/no options. If I were 12, maybe I could be excited over this. Looks like a download for me, only because its the least shitty option. Fxck these gay cards and posters, bring statues back! And match items from japan.
I MISSED GOLD BY 10 POINTS. 10!
Bloody hell! I’m so mad feel like breaking a PS3!
not really giving much incentive to buy new Nintendo stuff over used…
I humbly suggest that Nintendo rename “Gold” and “Platinum” status to “Cardboard” and “Burlap” status to appropriately set expectations.
