Today Is Your Final Day For Club Nintendo Rewards

Today Is Your Final Day For Club Nintendo Rewards

, , 0

“Club Nintendo’s still a thing?” you might say. For a few more hours, it is. On July 1, 2015 at approximately midnight Pacific time, Nintendo will end the long-running and controversial (in the sense that most of the American prizes were crap) consumer rewards program forever. That means if there are coins in your account that you still haven’t spent, and something in the lineup can be bought with them, now is your last chance before those coins disappear and the items with them. If you live on the East Coast you have until 3 AM due to time zone differences. The last day to earn coins was March 31; the last day to claim free gifts for reaching milestones (i.e, the Gold and Silver rewards, which were free game downloads) was April 30. June 30 marks the last day to do anything else. Nintendo has plans to replace Club Nintendo with a new, more modern rewards program, but it has yet to reveal what kind of program it is.

At the time of this writing, there are 12 hours left to redeem your coins and gifts at Club Nintendo. The service will be fully shutting down today, and all coins or prizes that you have not redeemed will become null and void. Nintendo will be making a new customer reward service, one that most likely will involve DeNA, as the partnership was noted to be doing that. It’s unclear when the new reward service will be available to start, but we’ll keep you informed as to details as they come out. For those who have been members for awhile, and have achieved either Gold or Platinum status, you’re entitled to a reward game. One that will not drain any coins from your account. Such titles you can get based on your status is: Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mario Kart 7, Yoshi’s New Island, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, NES Remix 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and a plethora of Virtual Console titles like Metroid

This Is Your Final Day For Club Nintendo Coins

Hey you! Got any games you’re still sitting on that haven’t been registered with Club Nintendo yet? Is there anything you still want from the website…maybe a T-shirt or a tote bag or two? Then you’d better e-sprint over to the Club Nintendo website while you still can. March 31, 2015 is the final day Nintendo will accept the codes that used to come with their games (click here to see a list of eligible products — some are too old already). It’s also your last day to REGISTER with Club Nintendo, just in case, y’know, you want to be a member for a few minutes. Club Nintendo began six years ago and replaced the similar “My Nintendo” registry program previously in place, only with the addition of redeemable prizes. Nintendo has not announced if it plans to replace Club Nintendo with any other consumer rewards program. Once you’ve got your coins in the account, there’s no need to panic and order something in haste…the deadline to use the coins

Club Nintendo’s Final Batch Of Offerings

Club Nintendo’s Final Batch Of Offerings

Special Guest Writer: Dead Kid from the Super Bowl You might have previously heard Club Nintendo is shutting down for good this summer. They promised they would update their catalog in February so users could spend their remaining coins, and they have done so today. There is a wide variety of games and physical items — over one hundred. I would be able to pick from them as well…..if I were not DEAD. You can get a 2016 Desktop Calendar (that says “2015” on it), Animal Crossing playing cards, a 3DS XL Zelda-styled pouch, a T-shirt with Mario’s 8-bit sprite on it, a Fierce Deity Link Jigsaw Puzzle, and a Majora’s Mask 3D Messenger Bag that looks just like the 3DS model you can’t have, not because you’re DEAD, like me, but because you simply can’t buy it. Almost every downloadable game that Club Nintendo has offered in the past is up for download again. That includes Zoda’s Revenge: StarTropics II, Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!!, A Link to the Past, Super

Club Nintendo To Be Put Out Of Its Misery This Spring

Club Nintendo To Be Put Out Of Its Misery This Spring

Nintendo announced this morning that Club Nintendo will be gradually shut down in all regions this spring. New registrations will be allowed only until March 31, and this will also be the cutoff date for entering any remaining codes you have. If you get to Gold or Platinum status by then, there will be an offering (my guess is more downloads) but it must be chosen by May 1. All remaining coins in your account must be spent by June 30 or they will be vaporized. You may recall I questioned why Club Nintendo was still around last month, and thought I saw many signs it was about to be cut, but put them to rest when new physical items were offered. It turns out my instincts were right. In the early 2000’s a new section on the Nintendo website called “My Nintendo” appeared, and sheets with codes on them started getting tucked in with the instruction manuals of most Nintendo-published games. This service eventually turned into Club Nintendo, first

New Club Nintendo Offerings, Same As The Old

New Club Nintendo Offerings, Same As The Old

Don’t look now, but Nintendo has finally placed some new offerings for your hard-earned Coins in the Rewards section of Club Nintendo. And they look awfully familiar: posters and DS card cases.  There’s also a humorous shirt that sports Samus shooting her way through the Mushroom Kingdom (it’s for NES Remix, you see) but overall it feels like more of the same with a fresher coat of paint. In the early 2000’s a new section on the Nintendo website called “My Nintendo” appeared, and sheets with codes on them started getting tucked in with the instruction manuals of most Nintendo-published games. This service eventually turned into Club Nintendo, first in Japan, then in Europe and eventually in North America. It’s a way for the company to collect data about the preferences of its customers in exchange for prizes if enough surveys are filled out. One thing American fans noticed right away was that the prizes given away at the Japanese Club Nintendo were much better than the prizes the Western

Everyone knows Nintendo is the creator of Mario, one of the most beloved video game characters of all time, but not as many know that Nintendo started out as a Hanafuda card manufacturer. While not popular and rarely played in the US outside of Hawaii, Hanafuda (literally translated as flower cards) was insanely popular at a certain time in Japan and used by many gambling establishments, including the Yakuza. In 1889, Fusajiro Yamauchi founded a company, which he called Nintendo Koppai, to produce the cards which at that point in time were handcrafted and painted on mulberry tree bark.
