Club Nintendo Update! Good News!

Let's not forget that Japan got a Wii SNES controller.

I'm hoping for that.

I'll bet it's a leftover hot pink Kirby stylus.

I havn't gotten that email yet, but I did get one about 3 weeks ago reminding me to make sure to put in my points before the end of the cycle... I can't wait to cash in on all the stuff i've been stocking up since this thing launched last year and I hit Platinum status on day 2.

[Mayhem]

Got the email myself earlier. I already have quite a few of the Japanese platinum gifts, so I hope I can either get something I don't have, or it's something brand new just for the US (chance would be a fine thing though).

[Eternal Tune]

Got the email as well. Was more or less like "oh I forgot about that...."

I have a few more games I should probably register now since it reset today.

[Icarus Moonsight]

No rest for the wicked, I suppose...



Princess, do you accepta de coins?

[megasdkirby]

It would be really neat if it's the second Game and Watch for DS...ONLY for those who achieved Elite status!

Let's not forget that Japan got a Wii SNES controller.

This.
There has been so many amazing items from the Japanese Club. I'm really hoping for something sorta special.

[megasdkirby]

Come to think of it, I bet it's going to be a one year membership to Nintendo Power.

[JSoup]

I forget how this works, they reset the points every year, is it?

[Cobra Commander]

Your status resets every year, but your points are valid for a few years I believe.

[JSoup]

Interesting. I should actually look into joining this thing.

[megasdkirby]

Question...what if I had PLATINUM status and an extra 300 points on my account.

Why didn't it jump to GOLD after it got reset?

[c0ldb33r]

Because all the points get wiped with respect to status.

Those 300 points can't be used anymore for status.

[megasdkirby]

Ah, makes sense.

So my guess is that even though I had 300 points "in the bank", and today I placed another 140 points, then that means that it only sees 140 with regards to the status.

So that means I need to get 600 points (300 previously and 300 new) to achieve GOLD status again.

That bites. Oh well.

[Cobra Commander]

But at least you have the pionts to buy stuff with. The good part is that even if you spend all your coins, your status doesn't get reset. That does help.

[namzep]

Like I figured, the rewards were less than exciting.

Platinum
Choice of:
1. Mario Replica Hat
2. Doc Louis's Punch-Out (Wii download exclusive)

Gold
2010 Club Nintendo Calender

Guess I'll be getting the Mario hat.

[calthaer]

Those rewards are somewhat less-than-exciting.

I wonder if the Doc download can be moved to the SD card? If so, I predict its rarity will go down quite a bit as people figure a way to copy it and transfer it. Even so...I don't really dig that hat; I have enough schwag that it would have to be seriously cool to consider junking the house up for it. And that hat is not terribly cool, nor is it exclusive to North America / Canada, if I recall.

[maxlords]

I'm not complaining...it's free. I'll be taking the hat too. I hate DLable content.

I kinda wish I could get the calendar too....

[Lothars]

I don't know why anyone would choose the hat honestly mainly because it's not something that you couldn't get otherwise but I will be choosing the downloadable content, I just wish the gifts were better.
