No, seriously though. I just grabbed my copy of Trauma Center to check the code.

How many coins have you registered total at club nintendo because it seems that they are sending these packs out to people who have registered like 4000 to 5000 coins over the few years the program has been running.

How much do you estimate that you spent to get ~2000 coins? I have no idea how many coins you get for a game or a console. I have yet to register any of my stuff except the DSi XL for warranty purposes.


Looking at https://club.nintendo.com/how-it-works-coins.do it seems that you get 160 coins for a system/handheld and 50 for a Wii game and 30 for a DS game. You can get some more coins by doing surveys.

So it seems that it's roughly a $1 for 1 coin type deal so you spent close to $2000. Wow, that's a lot of dough.

Under 2000 currently or under 2000 as a lifetime total?


@Dup: No worries. It was kind of you to offer.

i've spent a lot of games but i've had games come from pawn shops with unused codes, plus i've used a few of nephews games. i've also done their surveys and used the intend to buy feature to get extra coins as well so not all of it has been games or systems.

under 2000 is lifetime total
