Club Nintendo Elite Gifts

Time is about to run out on the Club Nintendo gifts, have you claimed yours or are you an incomplete slacker like me?  I have until 8/6 and am honestly underwhelmed by the selection, but suppose I should choose something.  What to do?




On one hand the non-game gifts are kind of cool, however I don't think I'll have much use for them.  (posters, really?)  The cards seem very nice and I keep getting back to the fact that I don't play cards and don't have interest in "collecting" this item for future sale/use.  The calendar seems cool too and I could see me cutting them out to put in a frame in my office.

Then we get to the game gifts.  The one caveat is that I don't have my Wii, so redeem now and wait or get Metroid II for the 3DS?


  • Majora's Mask - Am considering this one heavily and it's the most expensive to be purchased separately at 1000 ($10) points.
  • Super Mario Kart - Another classic for 800 points that I've always wanted to try.
  • Metroid II - I haven't been too hot on this even for a metroid game.  Reading SuperPhillip's review only bolstered that view.  Besides it's only $3.99 and probably the worst use of the gift.
What did you pick up this time around and what do you think I should get?
