Preparing for Holiday 2014 –
Nintendo released 8 new games from their Club Nintendo program for November 2014. Uniquely, there are a couple titles that have never been a part of the Club Nintendo program before and could be worth a look if you have Coins to spare.
The following games will be available from November 17 through December 14, 2014.
Game #1 – Pilotwings (SNES on Wii U Virtual Console)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $7.99
Summary – The original SNES Mode 7 flight sim.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – Pilotwings, although revolutionary when it was originally released, has not aged well.
Game #2 – Vegas Stakes (SNES on Wii U Virtual Console)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $7.99
Summary – A virtual Super Nintendo casino consisting of blackjack, slots, poker, craps and roulette.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? You probably have two or three casino sims on your smart phone. This title was also available via Club Nintendo back in August.
Game #3 – Clu Clu Land (NES on Wii Virtual Console)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $4.99
Summary – Collect Zelda’s rupees in a Pac-Man-like maze with really bad play control.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – Next to Urban Champion, this is one of the worst Nintendo made games ever made.
Game #4 – PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit (WiiWare)
Price – 250 Coins, normally 800 Wii Points ($8)
Summary – It is a 4-player Mario Party-ish game without the fun minigames.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – This title has never been a part of the Club Nintendo program before and is probably a game you have never played.
Game #5 – Tokyo Crash Mobs (3DS eShop)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $6.99
Summary – A crazy fast-paced puzzle game that mixes live-action video with digital graphics.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – Do you like crazy Japanese games that you have never played before?
Game #6 – Kirby’s Pinball Land (GB on 3DS Virtual Console)
Price – 150 Coins, normally $3.99
Summary – Kirby is the ball in the adventure-style pinball sim.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – It is one of the best games available this month.
Game #7 – Metroid II: Return of Samus (GB on 3DS Virtual Console)
Price – 150 Coins, normally $3.99
Summary – Samus’ second adventure that appeared on the original Gameboy.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – Return of Samus has not aged well with the lack of a mapping system and Samus is nearly as big as the screen but still worth your coins if you never played this game.
Game #8 – Starship Defense (DSiWare on 3DS eShop)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $4.99
Summary – Tower defense with touch controls.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – If tower defense is your thing, could be worth the 200 Coins.
