Intend To Buy surveys for Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone! and Crosswords Plus are up and expire Sept 24.

Also, the Donkey Kong Poster set is back and the Mario Folders & Bookmarks are currently unavailable.

*Also should mention that third party Order Up! is also a Club Nintendo eligible product worth 30 coins. Not sure what is different between the retail game and the eShop Order Up! which is worth 10 coins.

The new Wii game redeemable for coins is Super Smash Bros. It costs 200 coins and expires September 16.

Thanks Sway for the rewards heads up (Nintendo is always late to posting the rewards for some reason). Tempted to get SSB, regretted selling it years ago, however the 200 coin price is a bit steep. I think they are hoping to have people drop all their coins before announcing the return of the gold nunchuck as a reward.

I haven't played the original Smash Bros in a long, long time. Is there any good reason, other than for nostalgia sake, to get it when the Wii version of the game is so good? Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing the original feels outdated and doesn't really offer anything that the newer versions don't.

Picked up Smash Bros., since I had the points. Plus, if Nintendo follows through with the WiiU transfer for VC games, I'm more than happy to buy more VC stuff.

I know it's ed, but a part of the reason I'm excited about the WiiU is simply playing the N64 VC and Wii games over HDMI. Upscaled or not, it sure as hell beats component.

I bought SSB....200 coins isn't too bad and its one of the better Club Nintendo releases for a while. Thanks Sway.

I personally feel that SSB doesn't play right without the N64 controller. If you have ever played it on the original N64, then you'll noticed a severe difference. And you're right in thinking that the Wii version is better anyways. The original has 12 characters -- Falcon, Fox, Mario, DK, Yoshi, Samus, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Luigi, Link, Ness and Pikachu -- and 8 or 9 maps. Link is also very overpowered. It's the first game in the series, and it has been significantly improved over the years, so it's only good for that history/nostalgia factor.

To add what Blade said, I think if you are used to Brawl or Melee, the original SSB won't hold your interest for long. With that being said, I think the character selection, while smaller than the other versions, had better variety in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Each character (with my personal exception of DK) can become a powerhouse in the right hands by exploiting their individual strengths, while capitalizing on your opponents shortcomings, which were very drastic in the original SBB (much more of a rock / paper / scissors vibe than Melee and Brawl). Spikes and throws were also more important as well, I think it's still a good game to get if you can find others to play against, though the single player will likely bore quickly after unlocking the four additional characters.

Did you make sure it contained any actual precious metals?
Tempted to get one just to reserve its 1 in a 1000 status for collectors...

Hell, I picked one up. Now I'm down to just 1800 coins! </panic>

I'm thinking it won't restock like the gold nunchuck since it's promoting the 20th anniversary collection. I'm 400 short after getting the nunchuck

Pretty excited for the Kirby medal, although it certainly is tiny. I suppose that is why it is only 600 coins.

if the medal was bigger, i'd be in. it looks like an too-big lapel pin though.

Ordered the medal! Thanks! Now, Club Nintendo needs to start selling steelbooks for Wii games

Ordered the Kirby Medal (to go with my Kirby Patches that I never used, lol). I still can't convince myself to order the Kirby Wii collection since I already bought most of the games from the VC store...

-Edit-
Thanks to Newegg $10 off $39.99+ preorder code, I ordered the Kirby Wii collection. Should look nice with this medal ^_^

Crap. Want Medal. I'm 95 points short. :(

Does Rhythm Heaven DS come with a registration code?
