Today I went to the Nintendo website to regester my copy of Pokemon Black and I noticed something disturbing. Prior to regestering Black I wasn't even Gold status. After regestering Black I barely made Gold status. I looked at how many points I still need and it is 300. I freaked I have never fallen short of Platinum ever since the rewards program started two years ago.
I started thinking, why am I so short this year and realized other then Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby I haven't really bought many Nintendo games. I then tried to think of what I'm buying in the coming months, I have 3DS but without knowing which Nintendo titles will be availible prior to July I don't think I'll make it.
Honestly out of the launch titles for 3DS none of the ones I intend to purchase are from Nintendo. I am tempted now to buy Nintendo titles just for the sake of getting Platinum but I don't want to buy games I'm not interested in. So if Nintendo releases enough 3DS titles prior to the end of the Club Nintendo year then I will make it, but its going to be close.
Anyone else falling short, do you usually get Gold or nothing. Or are you too finding yourself with far too few Nintendo purchases? 2010 was one of Nintendo's better years in my mind yet they still failed to sell me enough software!
