Club Nintendo is Being Replaced

[CRTGAMER]

A good idea to keep checking and Click the Red Mario Hat for forgotten Post Plays
Another six games popped up over a week after I had first entered the game codes. Only 10 coins each, but that is another 60 coins! With the remaining Post Plays I have not seen yet, I should be over a 1000; oop more popped up make that over 1100 coins.

Point Cards are crazy expensive. 1000 nintendo points costs 4000 stars, which is the equivalent of 16 Wii U points cards. That's £7 of credit.

The exchange rates of the digital games in the US are much better. SNES and GBA games on Wii U cost £5.49- £6.29 over here and it costs the equivalent of about 4 registered Wii U games in the US in coins - that's practically 4 times the exchange rate!

And on Doc Louis' Punch Out - sure, I can play Punch Out on Wii anyway, but it's an exclusive piece of content not available anywhere else - that won't be (legally) available anywhere else in future either most likely. As a punch-out fan I feel I'd be crazy to miss it.

Woosh, that star value rate is nuts. Okay I can see the frustration of no DL games up front. The Points Cards really should be similar or maybe just a little less value for the incentive to redeem the coins. Cheaper to just buy the cards since not a Club Nintendo exclusive, there should be a red hat on the cards at those "prices".

Still not keen on the Doc Louis other then okay I'm punching a unique character. Is there anything special besides possibly a special power move from Doc? I still need to get the retail version of Punch Out. I know it has great reviews and have played the NES version and even the obscure game Fight Night on the Commodore 64. Just waiting for price drop as the WiiU takes over the store shelves.

I'm not sure I like the idea of swinging my arms with the Wiimote and Nunchuck punching the other boxer in that Punch Out game though. Have the old Radica Motion Detecting Boxing PlugnPlay and it is a workout! A friend of mine gave them to my son as a Christmas present when he was a little tike, I think these came out before the Wii console.

Since Doc Louis' Punch-out is WiiWare, I can't imagine it's compatible to be downloaded on the WiiU in Wii Mode, right? (unlike their other Wii rewards)

I thought all Wii specific Wiiware and Virtual Console works on the WiiU in the Wii mode; just have to use the Wii specific controls instead of the WiiU controllers.

Helpful, thanks. I haven't entered Wii mode yet, but seeing screens for it - it all makes sense now.

I haven't played Punch-out for Wii but one thing I did see noted about Doc Louis' was there were no alternate controller setups. You have to use the wiimote and nunchuk.

I was finally able to log in to Club Nintendo without issues just now. I was able to register the last of my Club Nintendo codes.

Sad to see CN go after so a long run. I had only been a member for 4 years and was able to get platinum the last 3 years. Wonder how valuable the data collection was on their surveys. I surely didn't answer them accurately. Anyways, I picked up the puzzle, bag, and 3DS pouch as my rewards. Like everyone else, actually getting into Club Nintendo was a nightmare.

The bypass of the Club Nintendo front page really works, I included a link at the top. As my edit shows up there, I was surprised by another round of Post Plays I forgot about. I swear some of the games were first put in more then two weeks ago. A nice surprise to build up the Physical and DL last round of "shopping" list at the curtain call of Club Nintendo.

Any new games entered closer to the deadline will lose out on the Post Play Survey Bonus Coins.
Best to enter ALL your game codes as soon as possible to still get the bonus post play coins.

I finally got in too. A few hours ago.

Still couldn't log in with my old password so I made a new one.

Managed to get in. I had about 1700 points

I downloaded Zelda DX, harmonight and Sakura Samurai

But my points scale didn't go down. Even though I redeemed those games.

I still want to get some more games, since I dont care much for physical stuff, (or the stuff thats there doesn't interest me)

So I'm gonna download more 3ds stuff when I get a chance.


EDIT: Now that I logged on, it looks like it did go down.

How long does it take the post-play surveys to pop up? I never payed attention.

I think about 2-3 days after you registered your game. I just got on and did the survey for that submarine game, now to wait for the post play survey and i will be gold (i dont know i why i want to reach gold)

It's generally been 7 days after initial registration.
