Major bummer
Well, this is disappointing. Although Nintendo used to release cool products like hats and statues for its Club Nintendo Platinum members, this year it’sall digital. Yep, both the Platinum and Gold ranks are digital-only, with no physical reward options in sight.
If you’re Platinum, you’re able to choose betweenGame & Wario, NES Remix, EarthBound, Dr. Luigi, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Fluidity: Spin Cycle, Dillon’s Rolling Western, andMario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move.
You’ll also be able to choose a Gold level option if you’re Platinum (in an either/or fashion), includingIce Climber, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros., Zelda II, Donkey Kong 3, Wario Land 2, Metroid, andSuper Mario Land 2.
Honestly,Game & WarioandDonkey Kong Country Returns 3Dare probably the best value (they’re both roughly $30 new even now), since they are technically retail games, and everything else is either a download or a Virtual Console title. Still, it’s disappointing that there isn’t a physical item in there in some form.
