I've made Platinum status both years so far and didn't expect to make more than Gold this year. Turns out that after comoleting the backlog of surveys I've had sitting around, registering my 3DS, and linking my 3DS to Club Nintendo, I'm down to 590 - only 10 coins shy of Platinum.

Some of my 3DS games may have coins waiting with them, but I don't want to go too high over 600 this year and would prefer to save those for next year (this is SRS BIZNES!). If only I had just one more survey to do, that would get me exactly 600 coins - oh well.

Anyone know what DSiWare games are worth? Going through my history, I can see where I got Mario vs DK 2 - it doesn't look like it gave me any coins but I did get a 10 coin survey out of it. That would work out quite well and there are few titles I sort of want in the eShop Virtual Console (Link's Awakening DX, for one - damn it!) as well as the DSiWare shop or whatever.

Anyone have any extra registration codes to share this year? If so, feel free to use this thread to trade. I may have one or two, but my games are packed right now since we're moving in a few weeks.

Also, as far as rewards go, would you all pick the Game & Watch Collection 2 for 800 coins (I already got the first one a couple of years ago) or the Game & Watch: Ball reproduction for 1200? I've got some coins expiring soon that I need to go ahead and use :p
 
I wasn't even close to Elite status. I had to spend a certain amount of my points before they expired though. I picked up this carrying bag for my 3DS. Anyone else get anything with their soon-to-be-expired points?

I still have 720 unused points. I'm saving up in case they come out with some new cool stuff.

Do your points disappear after the June 30th?

coins from 2009 do, yes. I have 20 that are expiring as I used all mine from back then on the first G&W collection.
 
I'm not much of a Nintendo fan but those Hanafuda cards look really cool:

A relic of Nintendo's history but with modernized artwork.. Everything else looks kinda meh imo, though I never really cared too much for those game and watch games when I was a kid.. my best friend used to have an aunt that would give him those all the time, we'd play em like twice and then get back on the 'real' Nintendo lol

I am saving for the Game and Watch Collection 2. I only have 350 points; I have a long way to go. Thanks for the shots of the 3ds system bag, I was also considering that, but now, not so much.
 
I picked up the hanafuda set, since we okay it occasionally when visiting the in-laws in Hawaii. Haven't opened them though since we have a regular set (also made by Nintendo).
 
heh jess..... hows the quality on this ds bag?? is it worth the points?

I haven't used it enough to test it's durability, but it seems to be good quality. It's microfiber-like material that's perfect for wiping down your DS.

I think it's thick enough that it would protect your DS from scratches if you were to drop it, but maybe not protect it from damage. I'm not going to do that test. :)

I should mention that it's reversible and the inside is a gray color with the Club Nintendo logo instead of Mario.
 
sounds good....

forgot to ask ... would a DSi XL fit in thar?

Yup, you can see details and more pics on the Club Nintendo website. For 250 points, I think it's worth it compared to the other rewards they have. It was the only thing worth getting with the points I had expiring.

If you're a fan of the original game, it's amazing. They've definitely updated the graphics. You use the touchscreen for choosing items, menu options, maps, etc. The option to play in 3D is nice. Overall, it's basically OoT, but better.

Most of all, it's the only 3DS title so far (not saying much) that has impressed me and makes me not want to turn it off. :D

i am platinum this year. wonder what the prize will be?

Yeah, can't wait to find out what this year's platinum prize will be. I've been gold the past 2 years which got me the calendar. Kinda hope it's something to do with the 25th anniversary of Zelda.
 
today the status is supposed to reset. how long until we know what the prizes are?

I answered my own question, just looked at the nintendo site and the new reward for platinum is an awesome pin set in special boxes that go together different ways like a puzzle that will reveal a charachter from the game. really neat. gold status is another calendar. :)
