My thoughts

I am very disappointed with this news from club Nintendo. I was really hoping for something physical that was special and rare. I was really hoping the platinum mario amiibo or custom Mii Ammibo were going to be options. A vast majority of the games to download are games I already own or don't want to own so I'm not sure what I will do. I understand a free game is still pretty great offer but since this is the farwell prize I had higher expectations and feel let down.
