Club Nintendo Update! Good News!

[MachineGex]

Anyone get those Hana* Cards? I am looking at those or the Plastic bookcase thing(holds DS games). Not sure which is more appealing, but I am leaning toward the cards.
Anyone have any thoughts?

[SamuraiSmurfette]

I'm a few games shy of Hanafuda. That's my choice for sure.

what are the cards and what are they for?

Hanafuda cards (Flower Cards when translated into English) are basically Japan's version of playing cards. You can play a multitude of different games with them, and the ones on Club Nintendo are Mario in style. See more here:

I should have gotten the Hanafuda cards instead of the Game and Watch Collection. I've got 390 and need 410 more to get the cards.

[c0ldb33r]

cool. thanks for the info. i was checking out the nintendo club site after posting that. There still isn't anything that interests me. I got the G&W collection at EB Games some time ago and it's pretty crappy.

Right now I'm thinking that I might want the Legend of Zelda poster set, but I really just want the history of Zelda poster, not the Twilight Princess or the Wind Waker one. I wish you could buy just one of them for ~150-200 points, not all three for 350.

The Zelda posters are cool. They are one of the few things I like. The mario game holder w/stylists and the mario book ends are kinda cool. I think I'm going with the Hana cards since they have a cool history and might be fun to play.

I may have an extra code available. My wife bought a couple of Starfy games for her friend's daughters. I took one code, but I don't think I can use a second one. I think I will have just enough points for the cards once I do a few post-play reviews. If so, I will let you guys know if anyone needs it. Also, Coldbeer, if you order the posters, I will trade you for the two you dont want. I have a huge trade list and I'm sure I have something you might want. LMK.

[MachineGex]

Yeah, I have an extra Starfy code, anyone need it? Send me a PM.
I ordered the Hana Cards. I will let you guys know what I think of them.

Sent you a PM.

Speaking of Club Nintendo codes, anyone have ones for Mario Party DS or Elite Beat Agents?

[Cornelius]

just fyi, if you have doubles of codes, you can create a sub-account and add them there. The points add to your master account total. I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I know I did it that way with some extras. Much easier than trying to trade, etc.

[MachineGex]

Thanks Cornelius. I sent Baloo the code but if I need it next time I will check out the sub-account thingy.

That doesn't really work as you say it does though:

Why can't I register more than one of any product in my Club Nintendo account?

You can register as many of any one product (systems or games) as there are members in your Family Account. Please note that only the first game registered will be eligible for the survey and Coins.

Thanks for bumping this thread. I hadn't checked into Da' Club since ordering the Mario Hat, and this jogged my memory just enough to return and blow another 800 pts on some Hanafuda cards. Will post impressions when they arrive.

bummer. It used to work, as that was the only way I got up to the points I needed for the G&W collection.

[Only16bits]

Zelda posters? Here I go!

[GM80]

I received the Hanafuda cards today. I've never seen any Hanafuda cards before, so I have no idea how these compare in terms of size, quality, or features ... so maybe this doesn't mean much.

They are much smaller than I expected, a couple of inches long. Maybe that's normal?

The card stock is a very nice, heavy and coated, with matte artwork on the front side. It seems very traditional, overall, with the Mario cast tastefully integrated on certain cards.

The cards come in a cardboard box with a Nintendo seal, along with instructions on very thin Japanese paper, and the whole thing is placed in to a plastic outer shell in Famicom red and gold with a Mario label. The outer container is the only part that felt cheap, lacking hinges and instead using molded plastic flaps that'll probably break off eventually.

I played a game of Koi-koi (?) after receiving the cards and enjoyed it. These do seem like a nice collectable item, though, unlike some of the other items Club Nintendo's offered so far.

[c0ldb33r]

could you snap a few pics?

[Tempest]

I got my Game and Watch collection a few weeks ago after finally earning enough points. I originally wanted the Hanafuda cards, but I thought the G&W collection might be more fun. Next time I'll get the cards though.

Already ordered the Game & Watch 2 game.

[BetaWolf47]

Wait, so they took Game & Watch Collection 1 off? Lame, didn't even get a chance for it.

[deltoidsteep]

Awesome, too bad i just got the hanafuda cards, i would definitely get more use out of the game. I love game and watch collection 1.
