Sunday, March 9 - my Gold membership expired yesterday. Today, the code for three months of Gold worked! So did another code I'd bought for an additional year of Gold. However, the codes for the free games still won't work. I've replied to the email yet again, so we'll see if they make good.
If this lasts another 8 days, it'll be a full 3 months since this began.

You're right on Pokemon. I bought FireRed and Diamond, that's it so far. And mario Party is....ugh. But I wouldn't paint all of Nintendo's franchises with that brush. Do they rely on the first party mascots? Yeah, of course.
