So ... assuming you had 1,320 points, would you spring for the G&W Collection or wait for something better to come down the warp pipe?

[maxlords]

I have 800 and I'm waiting for something better.

Get the game and then hold on to the rest of the points. But thats me.

Considering the game only has 3 G&W games on it, I'd wait. It seems like a collector-driven type of product anyway. Not something you buy to play. Why they couldn't just include ALL the G&W games on 1 DS cartridge is beyond me.

Then again, I seem to remember that we're not supposed to disparage any of these "free" items. Just be thankful we get them at all.

One post play survey done, now on 600 points and platinum status. I got a bunch of other surveys to take but I might wait to do them... platinum status resets in June correct? But the points last for two years? Memory fuzzy this morning...

Oh Nintendo, you dirty little bitch. You make me feind like a crack whore and want to spend 100's of dallors to get .35 cents worth of plastic. You are like a legal crack dealer and you know it. You sell to little kids and get them hooked when there young. I've been adicted since I was 11. Now I'm a daily user. I need help! XP

They'd have to pay people to program them for the DS, I don't think they'd want to do that for every DS game all at once(to give away for free). The original games came out with LCD screens, they can't simply be ported or emulated on the DS(they need to be simulated with new graphics made to look like the original LCD screens).

The surveys are blank for me? I use Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The surveys themselves have expiration dates, but I don't think the coins do...

[Mayhem]

All the surveys has expiration dates in 2011 or 2012 so I'm quite safe for now heh...

Coins have an expiration date, it's listed on the FAQ page.

Why are my Coins listed with an expiration date?
Unredeemed Coins will expire two (2) full Club Nintendo years (July 1 - June 30), plus whatever is left in the current Club Nintendo year, after they are earned. Example: Coins earned in March 2009 would not expire until June 30, 2011.

[Mayhem]

Yeah that's what I was trying to recall. So unless something amazing that I don't own appears in the store, I'll hold onto these surveys until July...

Hmmm... it appears I have been... as you kids would put it... "PWNED"...

Great. Thanks

I won't be able to get points for them for awhile. I'm waiting until the rollover before registering my DSi with Club Nintendo. I've already got platinum status for this year, so I'll wait to redeem this sucker.

I got this in an email from club nintendo today:



Anyone else get this? Any ideas as to what the prize will be?

[Misto]

No idea what the prize will be, but I found that email in my inbox this morning.

I'm interested to see what they will be giving away, but I'm not expecting much.

[namzep]

I suspect that it will be some cheap token. Maybe a little mario figure or something. Hoping for something decent, though.
