Last year, Nintendo offered digital-only rewards on Club Nintendo for those who reached Elite Status (Platinum/Gold Status). This was quite a big change since, in the past, we saw gifts like a figurine, Majora’s Mask soundtrack, and more.

It’s looking like the 2015 Elite Status rewards will once again be digital-only. With the closure of Club Nintendo on the horizon, I suppose it’s not entirely surprising.

Check out this blurb from the official Club Nintendo discontinuation notice:

In order to reach Elite Status, you must earn 300 Coins (for Gold Status) or 600 Coins (for Platinum Status) between July 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Members who reach Elite Status will be able to choose a downloadable game from a wide selection of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles. Your free Elite Status gift will be available between April 1 and April 30, 2015. A list of the Elite Status 2015 gifts will be posted here once announced.

Woah Dave! came to the 3DS eShop a few months ago. Sometime in the future, the game could end up launching on another – albeit much older – Nintendo system.

Speaking with Tiny Cartridge, Choice Provisions’ Jason Cirillo said that the company is interested in making a NES version.

Cirillo stated:

“Yes, we are very keen on doing a cart-based version of Woah Dave! Our preferred platform would be NES because the NES is rad. I think we can all agree on that.”

“I imagine we might have to tone down the gameplay just slightly to keep people’s NES consoles from exploding, but it might be possible.”

“In fact, our own Adam Rippon who has so expertly ported Woah Dave! to various console, has an extensive knowledge on coding for legacy hardware such as Game Boy and the like.”

Members of the Cognitive Modeling Group at Germany’s University of Tubingen are working on something called the “Mario AI Project”. The team is attempting to make an artificially intelligent Mario agent that becomes aware of himself and his environment. Mario can also make decisions about what to do based on spoken instructions. Take a look at the video above to see what progress has been made thus far.
