A portion of an AC review…
I only recommend this for those who feel the need to collect every Nintendo game ever made, or gluttons for punishment. It is not worth the time it takes to register 80 points worth of games on Club Nintendo.
Big promo for a game that’s only available to those using Club Nintendo. I wish Nintendo did more weird/zany promos like this one!
Just when you think you knew everything about Nintendo... In 1966, Nintendo released the Ultra Hand, a plastic toy with extending arms that could clamp onto small objects. Over a million Ultra Hand toys were sold, representing one of Nintendo's first big hits. http://grilloff.nintendo.com/#/history/
Nintendo has added the next round of rewards to its North American Club Nintendo store, for those of you eager to burn off your fake money. The WiiWare game Grill-Off with Ultra Hand is now available for real, priced at just 80 Coins. If you prefer to spend way more Coins, the second volume of Nintendo's Game & Watch Collection for DS is now available -- for 800 Coins, 200 more than the price of the original.
Finally, a set of three Mario posters has been added to the shop for 350 Coins. They're okay ... for something that isn't a free video game. Game & Watch & Ultra Hand & Mario posters available from Club Nintendo
Finally! We now have a use for a handful of the Club Nintendo coins we've been hoarding. Nintendo has announced that Grill Off with Ultra Hand, the WiiWare game in which you cook meat with an extending hand toy, is available through North America's Club Nintendo for 80 coins -- and we just can't resist the intoxicating cocktail of toy nostalgia and virtual grilled meats.
The reward has yet to show up in the Club Nintendo catalog, but we expect to see it soon. See a trailer for Grill Off here.
[Update: Did we say today? Clearly we meant "soon."]
