Virtual Console Only Month –
It is a new month which means new Club Nintendo (CN) games are available! Dipping back into their 3D Classics catalog, Kid Icarus makes his return in this eShop exclusive and stands as the highlight this month. However, all the games available were previously available via CN at some point in the past so you might already have these games in your digital library.
Game #1 – 3D Classics: Kid Icarus (3DS eShop)
Price – 200 Coins, normally $5.99
Availability – July 7, 2014 – August 3, 2014
Summary – Experience Pit’s first NES adventure in 3D.
Opinion – This title was a part of the CN program back in March 2013 for 150 Coins. But if you do not already own this game, this is one of the better exclusive options available.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – Yes! Get it.
Game #2 – Metal Torrent (DSiWare on 3DS eShop)
Price – 200 Coins, normally
Availability – July 7, 2014 – August 3, 2014
Summary –An exclusive bullet hell on DSiWare.
Opinion – Metal Torrent has been available through CN before back in Feb 2013 but it for 150 Coins, 50 Coins less than today’s offering.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? 3D Classics: Kid Icarus is the way to go this month but this is the one non-Virtual Console-ish title available.
Game #3 – Donkey Kong Jr. (Wii U Virtual Console)
Price – 200 Coins, normally
Availability – July 7, 2014 – August 3, 2014
Summary – DK Jr busts Dad out of prison.
Opinion – DK Jr is a piece of gaming history built around getting a high score.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – While it isn’t a bad game, 200 Coins is a little steep especially when there are other better alternatives this month for the same price.
Game #4 – Paper Mario (N64 on Wii U Virtual Console)
Price – 250 Coins, normally
Availability – July 7, 2014 – August 3, 2014
Summary – Mario’s first Paper adventure
Opinion – Like Kid Icarus and Metal Torrent, Paper Mario was available through CN back in Feb 2013 for 200 Coins; the cost of inflation, I guess.
Worth Your Club Nintendo Coins? – If you have Coins to spare and enjoy light hearted RPGs, this is the way to go.
