Much better then the posters I heard Platinum members got in the past. I while be picking up Earthbound, never played but everyone says its great so may as well give it a shot. Glad I decided to become a club Nintendo member this year.

Just realized you have to be a platinum member by june 30th to get any rewards for 2014 elite gifts.. What a load of crap

I wish the rewards were better but I bought all the games I wanted this year so I'm already pleased, anything else is a nice bonus.

Sum1 give me Nintendo Club codes plox T_T

I must be in the minority, because I actually prefer these rewards to what was offered for the past three years (since I joined). My first year I got a crappy calendar, then a poster set I never used. Last year was better, since I picked up the Majora's Mask soundtrack CD, but finding out it was in-game tracks from the old N64 game was pretty dissappointing. I was hoping for remasters or symphonic versions, like the SS Anniversary CD. 

Digital games don't have any resale value, but the games themselves are worth a lot more if you're looking specifically at the eShop (the only legal way to get these games digitally). I'll probably pick up DKCR, since I'm pretty sure that game is $30 on the eShop still. Most of the others seem in $10-$15 range.

EDIT: Gold rewards are pretty lame though.

I actually liked it....

As a non-USA citizen, i couldn't really get the rewards in the past.
Now i can. =D

Are you fucking kidding me Nintendo? One year you're giving me the physical soundtrack to Ocarina of Time, and now you're just giving me the same sorts of games you offer all the time on Club Nintendo? Only digital rewards? No physical? Huge disappointment. Fuck you Nintendo. Getting real sick of this Club Nintendo bullshit. They used to have tons of physical rewards available all the time, now they have a small handful that they haven't restocked in months. Now not even the Platinum reward is physical? This is bullshit.

Zelda II is heads and shoulders above the other two. Ice Climbers is feet and toes below the rest.

Most of the Platinum games aren't usually offered via Club Nintendo, to the best of my knowledge. But to your larger point: I suspect we're seeing a drawdown in the Club Ninteno system entirely, i.e. they've concluded that the feedback and benefits they're getting from the program don't really justify the trouble and expense, and thus they're going to end the whole thing in a few years. They've stopped offering as many physical goods over the past year or so, and even offered the Luigi's Mansion figurine as a coin prize when it likely would be a Platinum reward in years past.

If I'm correct, most folks in this thread should rejoice, because it means you won't have to fill out the forms anymore!!!

No!! But I like getting free games even if they are only digtial ones :(. Will they replace it with something else?

I'd say Zelda II out of those. However, I highly reccomend 3D Classics: Kid Icarus which Club Nintendo is currently selling for 200 coins. Its really a ton of fun, and the 3D effect plus the updated backgrounds make the game really pretty.
