Going Platinum with Nintendo!

Hey guys!

It's been way, way too long since I've last talked to my beautiful readers. I'm so sorry, everyone. I wish I had a good excuse, but really, I don't. I've just been being very lazy and the thought of typing out so many words felt like a pretty impossible feat.

That and, like usual, I have no idea what to talk about!

But I finally actually have something to say.

So, I don't know how many of you guys play video games. And out of that portion of my readers, I have no idea how many of you play Nintendo games. But, like many of you know, I have a 3DS XL, and I've been pretty obsessed with it so far this year.

Which was another reason why I might have disappeared off the face of the planet. I'm not proud of the fact that I've already clocked in over 120 hours playing a game that was only released last month... But these things happen.

Anyway, since I've rediscovered my love of Nintendo, I joined Club Nintendo, which is a really nifty thing Nintendo does where they award you for buying their games. It's where I got this little gem:


And, since I got 600 points for supporting the company through buying games, I get a prize!

Unfortunately, I have no idea which to choose between the two I'm considering. So I was hoping my readers (are there even any of you left? It's been so long since we last spoke!) would be able to help me out with this problem!

Now, I can either choose a set of three posters, or a Zelda: Majora's Mask soundtrack.

The posters look like this:



I am in love with this poster.

And the soundtrack looks like this, in case you were wondering:




Now, Majora's Mask was one of my favorite games when I was a child (only beat by Shenmue) and I feel like I need that CD in my life. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure once I have it, I might listen to it once and then just Youtube the music if I ever want to listen again.

When it comes to the posters, I'm pretty 'meh' about two of them, but I am absolutely head over heels in love with the Zelda poster. But the problem with the posters is that I don't hang posters up on my wall. I do plan to once I move out of the house I'm currently in and have my own 'game room'. But that probably won't be for quite a while still.

So, which prize would you rather have? Tell me why, and I'll love you forever. I only have until the middle of August to decide! Agh!

Also...

I'll be going to Anime Iowa this weekend! So I'll definitely be writing a post about that later. I'll try to fit in another post before that too. Determined to write more to this blog! (Just not every day. I'll run out of things to say wayyy too quickly for that!)

PS.
My Twitter feed up top seems not to be working. I'll be trying to fix that asap!
(Update: Figured out why my 'Latest Tweet' is no longer working. It's because of an update by Twitter. Unfortunately, the new way to get my latest tweet sounds very complicated and confusing, so I'll most likely have to edit it out of my header now. This is incredibly depressing.)

Until Next Time,
Bye Lovelies! ♥

    1. It's been way too long. I need to go to your blog as soon as I have a free minute and read all the entries I've missed out on! :D

      Oh, what online games have you been playing! I played some for a little while, but with no one to play with, I sort of gradually lost interest. I'm intimidated by cool gamers, so I'm stupidly shy on online games!

      And thanks for your opinion. Soundtrack it is! :)

  3. Welcome back Michelle! I also collect coins (points?) from Nintendo club but definitely not as high as yours lol. I'd say go for the CD :D and hope you'll post more ^^

    1. Thanks so much! All of you are welcoming me back so nicely. You're all so sweet!

      Ah, coins! My mind didn't even register the fact that they're called coins, not points, while making this article. Whoops! Oh well... hopefully people will realize what it means!

      I was lucky and had quite a few extra games from my old Wii that I was able to register when I finally became a Club Nintendo member. (Unfortunately though my Wii was too old to be registered..)

      And I ended up picking the CD! :)

  4. Oh.... Hai there! How's it going?!?! ^.^ Lol. I think personally the cd is the best gift but the wind waker poster makes me really happy so I'm not helpful at all. Ahaha!

    1. Hi! It's going wonderfully, thanks for asking! :)

      That Wind Waker poster made it nearly impossible to decide! It's definitely a sexy poster. But I ended up going for the CD after all! Thanks for your help deciding! :)

  5. I find the rewards weren't as good as they were from the previous years. We used to be Platinum for two years but this year, we didn't even make it to Gold XD

    I love the Zelda poster but I find the other two unimpressive. I would probably take the OST because it's Majora's Mask! I mean, the music is awesome although (I love OoT better) and it comes in a fancy little box XD

    1. I've seen some of the rewards from previous years, but I've only just joined Club Nintendo this year, so I never had a chance to get anything before. I'll agree they weren't quite as spectacular as I was hoping for for my first year of premium, but they're free, and still pretty nifty, so I'm still very happy!

      Yeah, the Zelda poster is the only one I really like. I was just going to give the other two to my boyfriend, since he seemed to like them. But pfft, forget that. I finally chose the CD!

      I'm not sure which I like more between OoT and MM, for Zelda games. I'm a sucker for side quests though, and Majora's Mask had a ton of those, so I'd probably have to go with Majora's Mask, haha!
