i am still undecided between the hat & game.
Roth let me know how it is as soon as you can... Thanks

[KingBroly]

I went with the hat, because I can't help but feel that they INTENTIONALLY held this one level back from the retail game. Sure, I may never be able to face Doc Louis ever, but it's either going to be really easy or really hard (I'm thinking the latter), and quite honestly, while cool, it's a Mario hat...and it'll fit over my freakishly large brain...er...head.

I got the Doc Louis Punch-out but I have to wait til november 1

[LuigiGBA]

UGH, OMG WHAT DO I CHOOSE?

I'm leaning towards the Mario hat, does anyone know when you get each item respectively?

[pissedcheese]

LuigiGBA, i just wanted to point out that your post just now was number 666.

NUMBER OF THE BEAST!

btw i will prolly get the hat.
ok back to work.

[Golbez]

Damn, I read the email and got all excited about my Mario hat...then I realized that I'm a gold member and not a platinum member. Hello, crappy desk calendar!

[Reed]

I got the game since I know I'll never use the hat, ever.

I can't believe someone in the comments actually guessed the reward would be a Mario Hat... It's like that guy in Nintendo Power who predicted the Wii.

Well, I'm glad I waited on joining CN as I was not very impressed with the prizes. Hopefully, next year's will be better.

The Mario Hat is kinda nice though, I admit!

[hellfire888]

lame.... just a calender for me. i really want that punch out game.

[LuigiGBA]

I got the Mario hat, I will put it on top of things

[Jack Caymen]

I got the Doc Louis game cause I have Punch Out!! and really like it.
Plus I can be one of the few people that have it since most people seem to be going for the hat.
I also bought the hanufuda cards as they have been the only decent thing for awhile.
so I have 70 coins and by the end of this year 370 so I still need a couple of more games to reach Platinum status for next year.

I'm sure I never would have worn the Mario hat, but I wanted it anyway. It could sit in my closet next to my Pac-Man hat that I only wear a few times a year when I'm drunk or just feeling goofy.

[Jack Caymen]

Not much of a selection of standard prizes.
I don't have a DS so none of the DS prizes interest me nor does the AC cards as I don't own AC games. Here is a video of THe Hanafuda cards if you are interested; that's what I got. You can also find Game and Watch collection vid from there.

I would wear that hat every day walking to work/school and I would say "wakka wakka wakka" the whole time. Is anyone gonna mug somebody wearing that hat? NOPE

Thanks for putting up the video. I really liked the Hanafuda cards. I just ordered them today. I have always wanted to get a set. And they look amazing. Now I just have to save up for the Game&Watch collection.

So is anyone else disappointed that Club Nintendo came back up from maintenance but nothing really new appeared. I guess they fixed problems or something, but i was hoping for some new prizes.

I am quite disappointed myself as well, I was really hoping that they would have new prizes as well, I have all sorts of points and nothing to spend them on currently, at this time I wish they would have stuck with their previous system where they gave away free stuff with some game purchases, they may have not have been big stuff but at least I could have used them more then the stuff currently available.

[hellfire888]

ordered the ds game rack.. got it in 4 days!

[Jack Caymen]

Metroid Prime Trilogy worth 60 points?!

I had 210 coins and I did "intend to buy" and then I did the survey after purchase and I got 280 after that that mean I got 60 coins added to the 10 bonus "intend to buy" coins.

So it seems like that tacked on 10 extra points since is is basically three wii games.

[KingBroly]

I got 70 for it.

50 for the game
10 for the survey
10 for the intend-to-get bonus

[Golbez]

The Club Nintendo prize selection certainly does bring the suck.

[VoodooThursday]

I haven't really seen anything worthwhile on the prize list yet, I hate to say it, but I'm starting to miss the Euro catalogue!

Do we get game-specific downloads for the ones we register? I think I got a Gunstar Heroes wallpaper for the VC download...

[Jack Caymen]

I got 70 for it.

50 for the game
10 for the survey
10 for the intend-to-get bonus

Hmm... I thought doing the survey after purchasing the game was just to get the 50pts.
So if that is worht 10pts then I guess I made a fuss over nothing.

[Ngamer01]

Actually while you do get 70 for MP Trilogy (provided you intended to buy it earlier), this is how the Coin rewards break down for buying and registering MP Trilogy.

0 Coins - Intend to Buy
>> You don't get anything for marking your intent to buy on a game and completing the corresponding Intend to Buy survey.
>> The game is entered into your To-Do List with "Product Registration" set as the task.

+50 Coins - Product Registration
>> You get this upon registering the game and completing the Product Registration survey.
>> The game is entered into your To-Do List for a future task (See: Post-Play Surveys).

+10 Coins - Fulfilling Intend to Buy
>> If you intended to buy and complete Product Registration within the deadline set by Intend to Buy, you get this bonus.

+10 Coins - Quick Registration
>> You get this for registering a game within four weeks following the game's launch in North America.

+10 Coins - Post-Play Survey
>> These are sent out four to six weeks following Product Registration.
>> Games with Post-Plays will have "Post-Play Survey" set as the task in the To-Do List.

To summarize:
0 Coins - Intend to Buy
+50 Coins - Product Regsitration
+10 Coins - Fulfill Intend to Buy
+10 Coins - Quick Registration
+10 Coins - Post-Play Survey

So at the end of it, the total haul will be 80 Coins.

[hellfire888]

they took game and watch ds off the rewards list.
plus, im having trouble with the surveys.. after i fill one out, it just takes me back to the start as if i had never taken it
