I will actually argue in favor of a very small group of people with regards to the whining/entitlement attitude.
Those who purchased the system during that small time period where Nintendo announced that you'd be eligible for the free games if you bought a system then.
Those people deserve the free games because they made their decision based on the offer of free games.
Everyone else, sit down and be patient. Nintendo owes you nothing more than they offered when you made the purchase. To say "well, this, this, this, give me more!" is bull crap - If Nintendo came back to you and said "Hey, remember that 3DS you bought last year? Well, the US dollar has tanked, therefore we feel you should pay us another $80 - after all, we've given you so much happiness over the years." - how would that sit with you?
Gift horses and mouths, people. This kind of attitude is why we didn't get a Club Nintendo for so long. Instead of being thankful for what we get, we crap in Nintendo's hand, tell them it's gold, they should be thankful and give us more.
