Here are your 2014 Club Nintendo Platinum and Gold rewards

Nintendo devotees have patiently awaited for Club Nintendo to reveal this year's Gold and Platinum rewards, and the result is… a little anti-climactic. To bring you up to speed, Club Nintendo awards points to gamers who registers both physical and digital copies of games, as well as their hardware purchases. The more coins you accumulate, the higher the tier.

This year, the rewards for both Platinum and Gold members are a selection of digital titles. This isn't anything out of the ordinary since previous years have also offered similar rewards, though those usually only extended to Gold members, while Platinum tier was able to pick between a physical reward as well.
