Also, it's just nintendo published stuff that gets you points right? Nights and Samba de amigo didn't have the registration cards.

Also I realized it's kind of funny that Mario and Sonic at the olympic games was published by Sega but they put Mario's name first.
No, your status does not drop.

If you spend the coins you've earned then I believe your status does drop. Sadly it is only first party stuff that gets you points, if third party stuff qualified then I'd have hit the mark a while back instead of rushing around trying to get some points.
how many points is a game worth and what do you get for being a club member? This is the first I'm really hearing about this as well and I've got a bunch of Nintendo stuff.

DS games are 30 points, wii games 50 points.

Off topic but would Sega still redeem my buy 2 get one free Saturn game coupons or $20 off Genesis game coupons? :P

Also ModMan if I have any DS or Wii games still lying around somewhere I will be sure to give you the codes.

I believe all games are worth something like 30 points and if you reach gold or platinum before today ends you get a free prize. Gold gets a small consolation prize, but platinum gets a big prize. For example platinum members in Japan got this as their prize:

You can pick through dome prizes such as a DS game shelf with Mario Hat bookends, Wii-mote holder, DS Game&Watch colection, DS game binders and more.

That's pretty cool although I looked the other prizes you can "buy" with your points and none of that really interests me, so if I can hunt down any codes I'll PM them to you. Will any first party Nintendo game work, even if I bought it at launch?
