Yep, 2, 1 to Chicago and 1 to DC but

RSVP now to get hands-on with Wii U in Washington, DC.‏


both are the same code and they both point to DC Chicago at registration.

Damn... Chicago? That one's close enough I could possibly swing it - but I'll never get an invite because I'm about 7 hours away. :(

Got an invite yesterday for hands on Wiiu at comic con next week. Anyone else? I rsvp but haven't received confirmation yet

The "Game of the Weekend" program is featuring Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword™. For a limited time this precision sword-fighting game is available at a special price of $4.99. Offer is valid from 9 a.m. Pacific time on Friday, July 6, through 9 p.m. Pacific time on Sunday, July 8. (For Nintendo 3DS)

Supposed to be a fairly good game, like Punch-Out I think.

Gotta say it looks pretty good, if I had my 3ds already I'd pick it up.

Oh, man. Those cards look glorious. But that poster set... with Luigi's Mansion, Kid Icarus and Skyward Sword? There could be no better bundle.

Still leaning towards the cards though.

I had to go with the playing cards myself. I figured they would look great displayed next to the Hanafuda cards.

Did they remove them from the website? I tried accepting the cards, but it just blanked out on me. Now I have an empty screen on one tab and the standard homepage on another.

Wow: really, really disappointed...

Are you supposed to choose just one of those things? I mean, maybe it it was all of them (for platinum) that might be OK. I have no use for posters though.

The site right now just says that the Elite announcement is coming soon - so maybe there's hope .

Huh, looks like they did take it down.

I'm only disappointed that we didn't get the pillow Japan got last year. Otherwise, it's free stuff so I'm not really going to complain.

Those prizes are pretty ing weak. I mean...old games...that aren't even exclusive or unique. Give me a break.

The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask, Super Mario Kart. and Mario vs Donkey Kong: The Minis March Again were already prizes in the last few months......

I also have SO many poster sets from this rewards program. Zelda, Zelda 25th, Mario, and Donkey Kong... though I'd love that Kid Icarus poster..


Also, it is not clear- as platinum or gold, do you get to pick multiple items?

I was expecting the pillow or the soundtracks... our prizes are usually similar to Japan's- with an american twist.

I was hoping for the soundtracks, but a different selection.

If those are really the prizes and we only get to choose one... then argh! I want both the cards and the posters. :(

If anyone is considering picking one of the games, I would totally gift both Majora's Mask and Mario Kart to someone in exchange for the posters...

Making a similar offer to UB, and also stating now that I'll want to buy at least two sets of cards and another calendar if anyone does want theirs.

Yeah those prizes are kinda weak this year. Why wont NoA give us the good stuff from the other branches? Like the SNES Classic Controller or the Golden Nunchuck?

I would kill for the SNES classic controller as a prize. I'm too cheap to buy it on ebay.

Things I thought when I saw the Platinum/Gold prizes:

1. Wow.
2. Wow.
3. I feel kinda bad for those who paid money to buy codes.
4. I think I'll choose the playing cards.
5. Maybe the posters.
6. Probably the cards.

Ditto.

Mine was something like.

1. We get ALL OF THESE?!
2. Wait no..........we'll only get to choose 1.
3. I need that poster set.
4. No wait, I NEED those cards.
5. Damnit all, I want them both.
