    Yet another game with no lefty-flip option?

    I mean, holding the Wiimote NES-style is the proper way to play this, so I'm good. But would the Internet be the Internet if I didn't find something about this free bonus perk to complain about? #punchout

    Club Nintendo isn't free. They cheaply compensate you for your opinions of games. It's market research. They get a bunch for free, and I get a calendar that is the size of a large index card. #punchout

    @YoHenYo: There's more to Club Nintendo than the yearly rewards based on tier. You get points for stuff like unique DS games and cutesy stuff like Mario hat shelves for holding games. Yeah, its consumer marketing with all the polls, but at least its better than filling in postcard questionnaires to register games and never see anything for it like in the past.

    "Controversy tonight as our LIBERAL president, Mr. Obama, SLIGHTED a VALUABLE, AMERICAN Kotaku poster of his status of 'Most Awesome Person Ever.'

    demigod4, admired PATRIOT, was outraged and in-tears after the president pulled a switcharoo on what he thought was the greatest day of his life.

    'I was going to have a parade,' said this brave warrior of TRUTH. 'There were going to be clowns, elephants, obese men on motorcycles. I was ever so thrilled.'

    Unfortunately for demigod4, BETRAYAL, LIES and BROKEN PROMISES are what he will witness stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue. The ring leader? PRESIDENT OBAMA.

    We here at Fox News, purveyors of everything that is RIGHT, will see to it that a parade worthy of such a NATIONALISTIC HERO occurs right after these commercial messages."

    For the amount of money Nintendo expects gamers to invest, the rewards seem hardly worth it.

    It would be interesting to hear from Platinum members if they felt that the quality of the many games they had to buy, and subsequent online pen-pushing (filling out surveys and such), was deserving of something more.

    @Gackt: Well, considering I buy games from other companies and get nothing extra, I'd say, yes. Well worth it. It's not like I'm buying extra games just for the coins. It maybe a bit more incentive if I'm on the fence about something, but really, when I buy a game, I'm paying for the game, this stuff is just gravy, and I'm very happy with my Game&Watch collection, and Hanafuda cards, so...yeah.

    Do I wish the rewards were on par with Japan, or even Europe? Sure. But, I am content with hanging onto my points as long as necessary until something rad comes along -- like the Zelda posters.

    At minimum, I still have awesome games to enjoy.

    Instead of coming on here and saying "OMG Nintendo SUCKS THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE CORE GAMERS!!!!" you can just tell them directly in the survey. Someone who gives a shit might even read it.

    @TheHeeyyy: It depends on what you mean by "made by Nintendo."

    You get points if the game was published by Nintendo. Even if the game isn't made by Nintendo people, if Nintendo publishes it, it counts.
    For example, Mario Strikers Charged and Punch-Out!! for the Wii are both Nintendo-published games, but were created by Next Level Games, a third-party developer. Technically both of those games are third party games, in the sense that at no point were they made by a Nintendo development team at Nintendo's offices in Japan. But you get points for those games because they're published by Nintendo.

    Next Level Games also made the Xbox 360, PS2, and Wii versions of Spider-Man: Friend or Foe. The game was published by Activision, and as such, doesn't get you any Club Nintendo points.
