THE BUZZ: Nintendo recently started offering free downloadable games for members of Club Nintendo to earn, and today they’ve updated those offerings with a new batch of titles.

Here’s what Club Nintendo members can get from now until January 31st:

Dr. Mario Express (DSiWare – 150 coins)
Dr. Mario Online RX (WiiWare – 100 coins)
Kirby’s Dream Land (3DS Virtual Console – 100 coins)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (Wii Virtual Console – 150 coins)

EGM’s TAKE: When Nintendo first announced that they’d be offering free games in exchange for Club Nintendo coins, I thought it was a great idea. Now that the company has started to switch out those offers on a regular basis, I’m an ever bigger fan of the program. Free games as thanks for buying other games? I’ll never say no to that idea.
