Club Nintendo is Being Replaced

[8bit]

I've got a code for Super Smash Bros Brawl. I am not sure if the pin has been used or not but I know I can't use it as my account already has SSBB registered. Anyone wanna try trading for another code they have duplicates of or maybe for a code worth less points like a 3DS or DS game?

I hit Gold for the year...still working on Platinum. I should hit it around the time I typically do, I am guessing.

I am reluctant to spend right now just to rack up a lot of coins to get physical rewards next month when A) they will probably suck because they typically do and B) anything good will be gone in five minutes to the super-obsessive fans.

Fun fact I learned this weekend: My local Walmart, despite advertising such, will not price match items, even ones on their own website. So, despite having a copy of Razor's Edge on the shelf, they wouldn't match their own websites advertised price of $7. The employees did acknowledge this was stupid, but couldn't do anything about it. So I had to order the game from the site, and select site-to-store when I got home instead. My $7 copy should be there by Thursday, while the $29.99 copy was presumably placed back in the case

That is just plain silly. I have been in that line at the Photo department for website orders, I have only used it for a couple of DVDs that were not carried on the shelf. Curse Walmart for not price matching their very own website.

I noticed some of the games I registered ask if I purchased before or after a given date. Type in the earlier date, worth more points! Just went thru the Post Play surveys this morning, these do not show up until three days later. Adding any more games now, the Post Play Surveys might not make it in time for the February prize first day redemptions.

I've seen that stupidity before and dealt with it at some store, I think it was a Toys R Us. I just inconvenience them as much as I can by making them lose the added money shipping and paying people to move the junk around for store pick up and then pick it up at my convenience as I won't feed into the price bait and switch stuff.


I got Ultimate NES Remix in the mail a day early today so I registered it, and then I remembered there was that Famicom theme code too and that thing is awesome. When the 2 post plays show up for Smash (in 2 days) and it a week from now that'll put me 20 COINS off platinum.

I'll have to get Afterburner here shortly and that'll put it in place I think because oddly that one is worth 10 instead of 5 coins and all the post plays I do believe are worth 10. I hope I'm right, if not I'll find something cheap I want anyway I've been putting off. No way I'm going to buy into something meh just for a code for a status bump but if it's on my want list I can just do it now instead of later on this year.

Worth noting that the final Club Nintendo prizes are up. It's a pretty good selection of digital downloads, and some (mostly decent) physical prizes to finish things off.

Personally, the list easily exceeded my expectations - I'll probably get Super Mario 3D Land as a digital download to clear out the bulk of my coins, although am tempted by a couple of other options as well...

Took quite a few clicks to get signed in due to traffic, but I can see the rewards page even without logged in. What a load of crappy physical mostly paper prizes after wasting all the time entering the codes and doing the surveys.

The T-Shirt (though there are so many Nintendo shirts one can get locally) and maybe the Zelda bag looks okay though. The 3DS game storage case is useful, but not unique. One cheaper can be bought at the store for better value versus the coin redemption.

Really had hoped for a something exclusive such as a unique controller, soundtrack or physical game such as the repo game watch.

Maybe should start a rumor control on the SNES Classic Controller, if enough buzz Nintendo would put it up?

A ton of DLC, but only exclusive Club Nintendo game is the Grill Hand. I captured the physical prize section due to the site keeps locking out. At least the digital prizes will not sell out.

I snagged that messenger bag. I've always liked the artwork for the Zelda series, and that bag looks pretty sweet.

I'm thinking the XL pouch so I can get a second (game) item out of it for what I have (825 currently.) The Mario shirt is cool but I have plenty of t-shirts.

That's a healthy list of digital content for 200 coins a pop on the WiiU - and a lot of those were never offered as rewards prior.

As we get closer to June, and any desirable physical prizes dwindle, I'm sure you guys with extra coins can at least get something for game codes here.

Great. I got on the Club Nintendo website just long enough to view the prizes. Now when I try and load a page it gives me, "Sorry! Club Nintendo is currently unavailable due to site maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience." I bet when I'm finally able to get back on, all the physical prizes will be gone.
