I made that up for BnM. It's not a real rumor.

I figured as much, even though like ejamer said I have seen similar comments made elsewhere. Nintendo May do a special amiibo figure for platinum, but would never be each person's personalized mii.

Hey, rumors have to start somewhere. Though it's not that plausible of a rumor for the Club Nintendo prize, as it's something that would require Nintendo to put in actual time and effort.

I heard the Platinum prize is a life-sized Kuribo's Shoe.

Given the disappointment that was the new monthlies, I'm increasing my demand for the Platinum to $100 in eShop credit.

All Club Nintendo gifts for the Platinum and Gold members have been announced. They are all VC gifts.Wish I had a Wii U cause the Wii U platinum gifts are really good in my opinion at least.

Earthbound is tempting, but I would actually pay money for it. I feel like I should pick a game like NES Remix. I wanted to try it, but if I don't like it, it's easier to justify if I get it for free.

Kind of weird that Nintendo is offering Kid Icarus on Wii U as a Platinum Reward at the same time Kid Icarus on 3DS is available as the monthly Club Nintendo download.

If you have a Deluxe, you can use Game and Wario to get close to a DDP code.

So sad they didn't offer an orchestrated soundtrack.
Deep down, I didn't really expect that to be offered though. It would have made sense economically (cheap to produce and ship) and would have been a high quality reward. Clearly too much to ask. ;)

The games being offered seem ok for anyone who doesn't buy many games. Kind of weird situation though: the assumption is that if you hit platinum it's because you buy a lot of games, and if you buy a lot of games then you probably already own everything (or close to it) that you want from that list.

I'm happy to get NES Remix for free though. Was curious about that game but not enough to pay for it.

I'll most likely get NES Remix. Free is definitely better than 15 dollars, and now if I decide to get NES Remix 2 which is better game I can actually play all the modes. Game and Wario sounds interesting but it's still a party game (and a mediocre one compared to others in the system) and I already have Earthbound.

It's Nintendo's version of Crossbuy.

I'd argue that NES Remix 1 is the better title. It doesn't have challenges like "Watch the demo." ;)

And the 3DS one is the 3D Classic version, right? If you're going to play that game that's absolutely the version you want to go with, which makes giving the Wii U one away even worse.

I've always been curious about NES remix, but never willing to actually pay for it.
If you don't want your platinum prize.... I'll gladly take it off your hands. (assuming that's even possible)

I'd rather watch a demo than play Ice Climber.

Perhaps Nintendo chose games that many people don't have registered?

i.e.: Games no one wants? ;)

As always, as soon as Nintendo announces Club Nintendo stuff, the site shuts down because it was only ever built to handle 5 people at once. *sigh*

These are clearly games that Nintendo believes have sold most of the copies they were ever going to sell, minimizing any perceived loss from giving them away.

How much space does game and Wario need? I have a little under 3 GB left.

Shaymin · « **Reply #68 on:** July 16, 2014, 10:06:29 PM »

3201MB installed. Prepare to cleaneth thine fridge.

Yeah, I need to get an external hard drive.
