Oh I agree, Nintendo's rewards have gradually sucked more over the years. The first year I remember getting a Platinum award was when they were giving out those neat figurines that had all the Mario characters standing together. Then next year it was a Mario button set, which only the packaging was cool on that. And then it was the Majora's soundtrack which I did get, too. But this year it's just one free digital game? If it were two or three I'd be OK, but just one? I should've picked EarthBound because even though I didn't like that game as a kid, I'm willing to give it a second chance. But no, I have family in my house who love the Dr. Mario games, so I downloaded Dr. Luigi for them. Sometimes I just can't help thinking of others. I think Nintendo is gradually getting away from doing phyiscal prizes you can win and buy, which is too bad. Since I review games and buy nearly every Nintendo game they make, I don't have any problems getting enough coins, though.
