Club Nintendo Rewards


It's that time again...  I've finally registered my 3DS XL, completed a backlog of surveys and despite leaving 150-200 coins on the table am up over 500.  Should I hold out for something good down the line or go ahead and burn it now?




Let's take a look at what's available now.

Games:

Only one I'm maybe looking at is F-Zero.

Other Rewards:


  • Luigi 3DS Pouch
    • I know there's a Mario one as well, but come on, give little L some love!  I like the idea of a pouch though am not sure how well it would fit with the dreamgear grip I use.
  • 3DS XL Charging Cradle
    • I did like the idea of the original one, but truth be told I'm not sure how much use it would get.  It's just a matter of taking off the aforementioned grip each time just for a charge.
  • Game Card Case
    • I'm a bit bummed that the Zelda inserts are gone, though I do like the previous card case I got from the club.  I still have 6 slots left in that existing case so while I don't need anything right now I am closing in on 18..
Overall I may go for the pouch just to give things a bit more protection while traveling.  Though what I'd like to see are the mario and luigi pouches they had a few years ago.  These were simple little rectangular pouches (reversible) that were great for cables and other stuff.  Who doesn't like being in a stuffy business meeting only to pull out a cable pouch with a discrete mario in the corner and subsequent thumbs-up from the other cool gamer in the room?  :)

What about you?  Are you looking at any of the current rewards or have you spent them on something earlier this year?
