Since we've had a thread every other year, let's see who all is still doing this...who made either Gold or Platinum status for Club Nintendo this year?

I somehow managed to get Platinum again, and can choose from 7 rewards. Gold members get to pick from 5 of the 7. 4 of them are just game downloads, though...

At first I though the cards were Hanafuda cards, but nope...just plain old playing cards. Guess I'll get the poster set, then. The cards are some of those printed on plastic so they're partially see through, which is kinda neat. I have some by Bicycle. However, if you know the set and the printing is off on some cards, you can learn how to spot those pretty easily...perhaps the Nintendo ones will be high quality? Ha.

To get Platinum or Gold you have to spend a fortune! And then you get *1* gift? I never have (or will) come close to getting these even when I thought I purchased a lot of Nintendo product. IMHO they should give you the 4 game downloads no matter what, the calendar, and then either the playing cards or posters for Platinum.

I wouldn't say that. Though I guess all the 3DS games I bought earlier last year helped a bit this time around. I haven't bought a Wii game in I don't know how long. I guess Skyward Sword was the last one and before that...I don't know. I was still earning coins from surveys I hadn't completed from like two years ago :p

But I agree, you should get the downloads regardless.
 
Platinum again this year. Disappointed with the rewards, but something is better than nothing. I'm picking up the cards.

With all the new 3DS titles coming out I'll be well on my way to gold or platinum for next year.

Anybody excited for Wii U? I'm still on the fence, but once a new Zelda title is announced it will be hard to resist.
 
Kind of weaksauce selection these days. I still have my plush Mario hat from year 1. :)

Oh well, I didn't buy enough to get anything anyways. I think the only Nintendo title I've bought in over a year is Skyward Sword and that is still sealed. :/
 
I hit platinum for the first time since the Mario hat. I missed the two years where I was unemployed and couldn't pick up the games I wanted.

I picked the poster set.

Why do people complain? It's free stuff. Nintendo doesn't owe them anything. Pay for a game, get the game and a nice little bonus. Anyone buying the games just for the codes?

I think the real complaint is that NA usually gets the shaft when compared to other regions, which I know we've discussed here in the past. I'm not complaining too much, just a little disappointed. I wouldn't mind getting the option to pick up something from the 'store' or have X number of coins added to my account so that I could.
 
Didn't make any status this year. Oh well, my Wii died, my 3DS doesn't get played, and I haven't turned on my DS since the last Prof. Layton game came out.

No complaining. Just commenting. Weaksauce is weaksauce.

Yeah, I wasn't directing the comment at anyone here, really... Just in general I hear complaining all over the place. Some of it is pretty heated.

I agree that regions outside the US get much better prizes... in Japan they got a Mario sprite pillow... how cool is that?
 
Well I chose the cards, because I felt like it was a throwback to Nintendo's roots. That and I already have the DK Poster set, and they didn't specify what the "Special Printing" on the posters were -- I'm guessing Glow In The Dark.
 
well got gold again.. was off platinum by about 90 I think.

I have 910 points. want that game and watch ball for 1200 but dont own any nintendo consoles anymore lol

whats bs is you can redeem 2 wii systems
 
I just got the G&W. Took me like 4 years to get enough points to get it. Like you, I don't collect everything. I tried selling it but no one cares. There are a bunch on eBay that go for about 40-50.

I've been working on getting the G&W for a while now. I'm about ready to just buy one, as it's pretty much cheaper than actually buying the $1200 worth of games it takes to get it. I figure if I'm patient I can spend closer to $30 and get one.

I'm sure I will eventually get enough points for it, but it may take another few years.
 
I was platinum, so I picked the cards. Seems to be the best option for me, b/c I don't have room for any more posters or large prints on my walls any more.
