Paper Mario is *much* more like TYD than Super Paper Mario from all accounts.

Totally snagging Paper Mario. I had bought it on my old Wii, but sold the system, so now is a perfect time to replace it! Thanks, OP!

Grabbed KSS. Fun stuff!

Thanks for posting this, I had not seen the Best Buy thread and didn't know Dream Collection was on sale. I've been waiting for a sale on that for quite a while, just picked it up for $5.24 after using a $15 RZ certificate.

I'm on the fence about Paper Mario, I haven't played any games in the series, though I did buy the Wii version when it was on sale at K-Mart a couple months back. Maybe I should open that up and see how I like it before deciding on the N64 version.

Got Paper Mario. I've never played the game though I may still never play it since I have a backlog. Maybe the kids will play it some day. I didn't get Kirby because I had that from a previous time you could spend coins on it. I'm up to 8 games downloaded for free through Club Nintendo.

It's FAAAAAAAAR better than SPM, especially since that game was a huge departure from the past games. If you liked TYD, you'll like the original.

Once you spend the coins do the codes ever expire?

I just wonder after the Spring/Summer eShop updates if you can claim the code on your WiiU (so hopefully if/when that add offscreen play for N64 titles I don't have to "repurchase" the game with the fee)

I don't know if they expire, but I sat on a code for a game code from Club Nintendo for at least six months and was still able to redeem it when I finally booted up my Wii again.

The codes don't expire. They may drop in value if a game's price is cut by Nintendo.

The surveys do expire, though, if you take too much time between entering the code and filling out the survey.

He's asking if the actual game download codes expire, not the coin/survey codes.

I'm not sure if they do, but I don't think they do.

I'd be surprised if you could claim the code on the Wii U and get the Wii U version instead of the Wii version. Seems very unlikely to happen.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I doubt it would work. You'd be better off saving your coins until they started providing Wii U games on club nintendo, if ever they do.

The only evidence to support is that the wii shop codes are numeric, e.g.
1234 5678 1234 5678

and eShop codes, at least those for 3DS, are alphanumeric, e.g.
A123 BCD4 E56F G789H

And it would be kind of dumb for them to use the same code for the same game on the eShop. And there's no word of N64 support, so you might be waiting a while.

At the worst, if you buy now you're getting a $10 off coupon for the N64 game for WiiU. Damn this is confusing.

I don't know about you guys but I definitely think Paper Mario is the star of this show.

Nice, had a little over 200 points already sitting on my account and snagged Paper Mario. Good looking out.

How do the downloads through club Nintendo work? Do I have to connect my club Nintendo account to my wii? I have 2 accounts am I able to buy games from both accounts and play them on 1 wii?

So I have enough for paper mario and will redeem it when I transfer my wii content to my wii u. I know about the whole paying less when you have the game already on the eshop but don't you have to wait for the game to also come out for the wii u virtual console?

They give you a code you can redeem on the wii shop. You can redeem it on any wii.
No, but you'll miss out on post-play survey coins if you don't.
Yes.

They've had new games each month for about a year now.

I posted in the Nintendo forums but it might be relevant to post my question here.

Can the Wii U handle all Nintendo Club wii games? Basically can I buy Paper Mario and install it on my Wii U?

For some reason I thought the Wii U was lacking the virtual console and all the other stuff the wii had. Am I wrong about this?
