Did you guys get all these? I actually missed out on Baloon Fight which I played lots back in the day. F-Zero and Punch Out not at all but being .30c I bought them anyway. So glad Super Metroid was a part of the promotion.

January – Balloon Fight
February – F-Zero
March – Punch Out!!
April – Kirby’s Adventure
May – Super Metroid
June – Yoshi
July – Donkey Kong

If anyone knows what the next game is going to be please post here, my Wii U doesn't get used much since I finished New Mario Bros WiiU but it is about to change with Pikmin 3 coming out soon

I think Donkey Kong is the last one, it was the final title listed when the promotion was announced in January.

I've bought them all.. came close to missing out on Metroid I think when I was overseas. So far, finished F-Zero, DK, Punch-out and Super Metroid.

Nintendo is smart, releasing 30 cent games when the minimum store credit you can add is $10?

Nice, I haven't finished any of them yet. Yeah I don't think I'll buy anything with the rest of the money until I get my old VC games hopefully half price or 1/4, not sure what Nintendo is planning to do

With the 3DS eshop, you can always opt to add exactly what you need for any given purchase. For example: You have $1.34 and you buy something for $4.99, you can plug in your credit card number and only injure it $3.65.

While I don't have a Wii U yet, I'd like to hope that's how Nintendo is running it. By comparison, the Wii is rather annoying, considering how it only offers the purchase of 1000 points at a time. I've had 200 on my Wii for ages that I have not spent.

The WiiU allows you to purchase with the exact dollar amount by CC, at least it does here in the US. I recently purchased the New Luigi U DLC and it ended up being like 22 something with tax and stuff and it charged right to my CC the exact amount.
