If you're a diehard Nintendo fan--buy the games, own the soundtracks, jump on turtles in your spare time--then you're probably a member of Club Nintendo, the developer's member rewards program. If not, I recommend you stop in and join up ASAP: All you have to do is register your Nintendo game and console purchases and you'll start earning Coins to spend on exclusive Nintendo swag. Once you're a member, you can even take part in surveys and special offers to boost your Coin total in pursuit of Elite Status. Accumulating enough Coins can earn you awesome items available just once a year. Sounds good, right? Good.

Club Nintendo's usual offerings include both digital and IRL swag to show off your Nintendo pride. Everything from screensavers to stationery to, um, paper fans is on offer, but now the Club has a new set of rewards: Games. Members can now trade in Coins for a rotating selection of WiiWare, Virtual Console, DSiWare, and eShop items. Until January 10, those items are: Super Mario Kart and Fluidity for Wii, plus 3D Classics: Xevious and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again for 3DS.

Of course, you still have to spend real money to acquire the Coins necessary to pick these up, but if you're the kind of Club Nintendo member who's not into IRL swag, this should be a major plus. Keep an eye out for future titles as they make their way into the rotation and enjoy your Club Nintendo membership!
