It’s that time again: Nintendo has released new Club Nintendo rewards today. It’s honestly a little disappointing, given that this is the end of the rewards cycle, but there’s still at least one must-have gem in there.
Paper Mario (Wii Virtual Console)– 250 coins
The beloved RPG that started the series, the original N64 Paper Mario is available for 250 coins. If you have that, and haven’t played the game before, you should download this one as soon as possible. Paper Mario is not only the best RPG on the N64, but one of the best RPGs of that generation. Any fan of RPGs or Mario will love it.
Donkey Kong Jr. (Wii U Virtual Console) – 200 coins
The sequel to the arcade classic, Donkey Kong Jr. stars the titular ape, rather than Mario. In fact, Mario is now holding Donkey Kong hostage, and it’s up to Donkey Kong Jr. to save him.
3D Classics: Kid Icarus (3DS) – 200 coins
The 3D Classics version of Kid Icarus is the best one hands down, but it still may not be for everyone. If you’re interested, it is worth the 200 coins though.
Metal Torrent (DSiWare) – 200 coins
This one has a bit of a dubious reputation. Unless you’re really into shoot-‘em-ups, you can probably skip this one.
That’s it for this month. Let’s do this again in August.
