Yesterday (June 30) marked the last day of the Club Nintendo year, so today Nintendo officially announced this year’s club rewards.

Christmas will have come and gone in January, but doesn’t mean you can stop spending money! The Spawn Kill cast minus a couple of us — that’s Molotov Cupcake, Tigresa, K-Tuck, The Herp, and Snarkasaur — discusses the cornucopia of games being released Q1 of 2010 and various subjects that coincide with the games coming out as well as our subsequently drained bank accounts. Also on the agenda as usual is what we’ve been playing as well as a couple short news snippets. Don’t forget to enter the Call of Duty contest! You have until tomorrow to comment and win.

As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the fourth episode of the Kill Kast!
