Yeah, even though we haven't gotten much from NOA, its been a neat little bonus to get some Nintendo merchandise... very sad about it leaving too!

Here's the announcement on the EU/UK side: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2015/January/Important-information-about-the-discontinuation-of-Club-Nintendo-949921.html

I've got thousands of coins worth of games I haven't registered as I usually only register enough to get platinum -- I wonder if I should hold on to those for the next "rewards program" or if its going to be completely revamped so much so that the old codes will be invalid? :think:

Oh, saw the article about NOA too. Guess its time to register all those games - I know what I'll be doing for the next few evenings. Sad I missed that Zelda 3DS case this time around though. Will have to pick one up on eBay.

They DID say that they're going to be releasing some exclusive physical rewards though, so hopefully I'll have enough coins for whatever big/nice thing they offer!

Got a link to the NOA article?

And I have just under 1000 coins (I'll have over with the MM 3DS XL and LE). Should I just throw them at whatever now or hold on to them? I have no idea if 1000 coins is a lot or not.

EDIT: DAMNIT. I just read I can't register stuff released after 1/20 (today). I am 240 coins away from 2015 platinum (and 40 coins away from 1000). I was totally going to use the Majora's Mask stuff to get to platinum for the year.

Damnit.

Yeah, apparently we won't be getting any coins in the new3DS XL it seems. I wonder how we'll be able to register the new consoles for warranty purposes too? Also curious how they'll reward "loyalty" in the future if they're not going to include codes in games anymore?

I'd like to know all this stuff, too.

I might have to go out and buy a new game so I can get at least 40 coins. I do still need Wind Waker HD, but I was holding out until I found a decently priced copy of the LE...

Not sure what I got, but I may have a duplicate of a game or two with unused codes. If I find one, I'll PM you with it. I know I had Xenoblade and Zelda TP LE Bundle codes duplicated - just not sure where I put them.

I do want that Wind Waker HD LE at some point. I guess now is as good a time as ever. Just don't want to drop $100+ on it. :(

sadly the US version shuts down even sooner than Europe..and the "club Nintendo" coins can't be used in the future If you don't register and hold on to them.

01-20-2015, 08:33 PM

Bah! >.< I saw the news from NoA for this and never thought it would happen for us too. :( Guess I'll have to dig out all my console codes that I've been squandering then and get them registered. Apparently more items will be released on CN Stars catalogue between now and September though, so do I wait and see what gets released or just grab anything I can afford!? >.<

Bastards. :( I'm really gutted that they're doijg this. That does explain why my Ambassador N3DS didn't come with a VIP code though. :(

Yeah, got one of the Japanese ones myself. Watch them bring it over here to the US too! :facepalm:

Also, the irony that I'm complaining about them actually bringing something decent over here is not lost on me. Wonder if I should try and sell my Japanese one on eBay now in expectations? Having the other Zelda soundtracks in US format would bother me not to have this one too... :scratch:

Yeah I'm happy about it, just wish Europe/North America had released it back in 2013, or at least when Japan got it.

I'll sell my two Japanese copies right now in favor of even the EUR version, simply for the English text. If the US gets it too then I'll sell the EUR version after that. Region priorities. :roll:

The EUR version is missing the OBI or whatever that thing's called though.

Anyone know if the WW poster in the 2013 Platinum set came in another one of the Zelda poster sets? I feel as if I may already have it, but just not sure. Also, what do you guys think about that Fierce Deity puzzle? It doesn't look like it says "Club Nintendo" on it anywhere? Do you think it'll be available somewhere else?

Also, I recall there was a Zelda-themed DS pouch that I missed out on before (might've been EU only?) this one is different than that one though right?

Yeah, but that's why I usually end up missing things because I wait and they sell out. Was able to get the bag but site is down again it seems. I've still got probably 500-800 coins I haven't had a chance to redeem yet (and some that look like they just expired) so hopefully I'll get a chance later today.

The WW poster is unique. :) I was wondering the same thing about the puzzle. Maybe they'll put the CN logo on the puzzle's box, assuming they don't just send you a bag of pieces? Are you thinking of this pouch (http://purenintendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/club-nintendo-zelda-case-700x325.png)?

Thanks, wasn't sure about that poster. I think I missed platinum in 2013 and never got that. Guess I'll have to pick it up on eBay down the road, not worth my coins at this point. And yeah, that was the pouch I missed. I remember opening a thread about it and never picked it up. That was a US release though right?

Edit: also double-guessing myself on that zelda pouch... its a drawstring one and kinda lame looking... might prefer to actually get a game or two *gasp* than a physical item. :think:

Just saw the "these are ALL the items" blurb on their site. That's somewhat reassuring. Should make it easier to order without fear of new items going up. Now its just a matter of what will sell out first or show up on ebay first. My usual poster-guy who sells me all the poster sets doesn't have enough coins for the v2 Smash set which I really want, but I have a feeling that'll be on ebay and sell out slower than the other zelda items. So just a question between the puzzle and the drawstring pouch and possibly the 3DS case I guess...

Edit: finally decided on the puzzle, but can't order it now :( Stupid Wario image showing up! :rant:

Read elsewhere that someone spoke to a Nintendo Rep and they said the new CN items with 2+month delivery time is because they haven't made the items yet and are waiting on orders through CN to determine run-size. Not sure if that means they won't have a cut-off where they "sell out" or not, but at least sounds like there will be more than their usual "limited item" run size.

Also, not sure how much I'll have after all the post-play surveys come in, but if I've got enough extra I'll let you know. Would be happy to trade for a CN Europe item :)

So far this would seem to be the case. After 2+ days of server overload they still haven't sold out. Now it says:

Some day old news here for you. :P Club Nintendo Elite Status Gifts are "up". Servers are crashed of course so you'll have to wait until 2am or so to get in. Please understand.

Digital game downloads only, as had been duly noted previously. Click image for larger version:

http://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/club-nintendo-rewards.png (http://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/club-nintendo-rewards.png)

And in case you missed the Nintendo Direct yesterday, Mewtwo DLC for the Smash Bros offer through Club Nintendo will be available April 15.

Redeem your Elite Status Gift by April 30. Redeem your coins by June 30. Farewell Club Nintendo, you were nearly something special.

I'm probably getting Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, what about you guys?

the Nintendo direct said there will be some upcoming celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Mario..i would of loved to have some anniversary logo'ed swag and exclusives of off club Nintendo..so sad to see it go and so far from what I've read on-line the replacement is just all digital bonuses and coupons :(..I really hate this trend, now even the newer release games for PS4 etc, don't even bother with the little white paper insert, now you have to pull out the cover and read it printed on the backside..i wish we had petitions demanding at least Nintendo of America doing some sort of physical goods club Nintendo or at least start petitions demanding the return of video game manuals...o well..the glory days are behind us I suppose.

They have sites where you can start online petitions, and if you get it out there they can (and do) make a difference at times, but not sure if there's enough demand for what you're saying (or if Nintendo would do anything about it). I'm totally with you on the inclusion of a "manual" though -- probably my #1 complaint (and that's saying a lot) about modern games. Even Nintendo has cheaped out on this -- most of the 3DS games now just have a quick folded pamphlet as opposed to a nice manual with artwork and such (which I LOVE looking through in my older games). Its a shame really.

Sigh Nintendo...

Disappointed honestly.
They said that they'd fill up the awards for points so you could spend them if you haven't found anything yet, I've got few codes I can't even use anymore for no reason (didn't purchase these after they announced this whole thing) and the gifts you can get are not at all interesting.. Disappointed. Really hoped to get something nice out of it.
I don't care for downloadable games.

Oh, and that whole Elite thing isn't even a thing here in Benelux. Thanks Nintendo. As usual, it feels like we're left out on things.

Yeah, the prices went quite high on a few of them. Mainly the 2 I was still wanting... -_- The Leaf and Special Cup. I'm glad I was able to get them and I didn't have to spend too much on them. I opened a few of my games which I wasn't playing and topped the rest up with ebay purchase of points cards. :D Spent about £25~. :v:

I'm wondering why the Lightning cup is missing from the catalogue though, since it was advertised to return by popular demand... o.0 Maybe it was on there, but sold out? :shrug: Hopefully you can get hold of some of them. :D They're very nice and definitely worth having. :D Next thing to look at is a display case for them, so I can have them out. ^o^

As always, there has been a massive influx of listings on ebay for Mario Kart trophies. XD I was kinda hoping that the more expensive ones would have had the price driven down by the reprint. lol

As Knight said, perhaps some of them have expired. :S I had quite a few expired points codes when I was registering them. >.< It was frustrating as hell!! >.< I can't see you being able to get them back as it is in the T&Cs for CN and they do send you a monthly email which lets you know if you have points expiring that month... :S

If you want to purchase codes from ebay and register an account with the UK CN, I can give you my address to get the items sent to. It doesn't ask you for the address until you order. I don't want to be sitting and clicking through all those surveys again. :nono:

Don't forget though, you can only register games once per account and consoles twice. SO you can register say, 2 3DS consoles AND 2 3DSXL consoles. :D Consoles give the best yield I think it's 750 points for a 3DS console and 1000 for Wii and Wii U. :v:

Let me know what you want to do. :D

Also years ago, my favourite past time was going into the local GAME, Gamestation and CEX stores and raiding the pre-owned game boxes for the code cards, since they never used to take the manuals and other literature from the game boxes. lol I was a teenager then with no morales and not a lot of money. :P Got my Gold Zelda TP statue almost as a freebie! :v:

As I am a member of these boards, it may not come as a surprise to you that I can be quite anal about minor things that may not be an issue to most people. :ghey:

Today's culprit for my nit-picking is the Mario Kart 7 Trophies that were re-released on the Nintendo Stars Catalogue. Since the trophies have recently come back up on the stars catalogue, I went ahead and purchased a Leaf and Special Cup to complete my collection. As expected these trophies are reprints of the originals. Since the original release was numbered, as expected the new release has come with a different serial number on. What I didn't expect was the trophy to look obviously different when displayed. >.<

In this instance I am referring to the Special cup. I have taken some pictures for reference:

The sticker size on the boxes are different. The Larger sticker being the new Trophy. The small sticker for the old trophy.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/3733E111-B052-41AB-B493-3A2CD909250D_zps6yquqyn4.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/3733E111-B052-41AB-B493-3A2CD909250D_zps6yquqyn4.jpg.html)

Next, the base of each trophy, besides having year dates, the sticker colours are different, with the new one being gold and the old being white.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/9A0DC24F-49A6-4F05-870E-8EA8185D88BB_zpsyfehvjlv.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/9A0DC24F-49A6-4F05-870E-8EA8185D88BB_zpsyfehvjlv.jpg.html)

Now the most noticeable difference, the colour. >.< The colour of the new trophy is significantly darker than the old one. You can't see it all to well on the picture, but the new trophy has a Orangey-gold colour to it, unlike the old one which is a yellow-gold colour.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/E14A1CAA-545A-45E6-BDF0-4A220E7C3F44_zpsieupbvyf.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/E14A1CAA-545A-45E6-BDF0-4A220E7C3F44_zpsieupbvyf.jpg.html)

This might not bother some people, but for those who would like a full set, I found that with the reprint Special cup, you can see the difference in the shade of gold compared to the rest of the trophies. It actually looks quite odd, imo... :S Here's a pic I posted before...

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/84227E88-6C0B-4F54-800F-4009771EA7E3_zpsdepmxuzl.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/84227E88-6C0B-4F54-800F-4009771EA7E3_zpsdepmxuzl.jpg.html)

Thanks. That really stinks about the color difference. Its not really "gold" looking -- its more "bronze-y" which is sad since the old ones look so much better. I imagine it'll be that case with ALL of the new ones (which I am getting) which is kind of sad. Original ones may go up in price or maybe down now that there'll be more out there. Who knows. Either way, sad that they are different coloring. The labels and stickers being different is good for people who wanted their OG ones to stay distinct, but the gold-color changing is not good for people who liked the originals and couldn't get them other than eBay reseller prices :(

Thanks for sharing either way though!

Yeah, it does suck about the difference in the gold colour. You're right, it is more of a bronzy colour.

Thankfully I was lucky enough to snag the original Special Cup off ebay for a fair price. The leaf cup doesn't look too bad, but I'm having a hard time finding a 1st Ed leaf cup. >.< Did they reprint the lightning cup in the end?

If it's anything like what GAME used to do here, then they gut the game boxes to put on display and keep the contents in drawers behind the counter. This was mainly in instances where they never had display boxes for games. This gave employees opportunity to swipe the codes from the boxes. Thankfully they do this anymore.

I kicked up a stink in HMV before because they didn't have any sealed copies of a new release title as the staff had gutted all the boxes. I think it was for Rayman Legends when they had the steelbook... They only do it with the games though... -_-

I would guess that 90% or better of my DS games were purchased used, and a good chunk of the used ones came from GameStop. And yes, all of the GameStops in my area did then and still now gut every game case. I use to know a GameStop store manager who bragged about the fact he and his employees never had to pay for Xbox Live because they had an infinite supply of 3-month subscription cards from new games they'd gutted. I can only remember getting two games in all these years from GameStop that were actually factory sealed, and both were games I'd pre-ordered.

It's also possible that many of the games I bought may have never had club Nintendo points as I rarely bothered with 1st party Nintendo titles.

Now the 3DS is a different story, only one or two games I have for it were bought used, but I must confess I never checked the paperwork included to see if they have point.

And there's also the issue that I don't know the status of my Nintendo account as I believe it may have been banned for getting caught up in a rather heated debate/argument on the forums back in 2004 concerning wether or not the DS stylus was phallic and raising the odd-ball question of if the DS was aimed solely at a male audience... that raged for almost a whole day before Nintendo began banning accounts over the hundreds of posts the topic was generating and I can't recall if I ever logged back in to see if mine was banned or not over that idiocy.... wonder if I still have any of that topic saved on an old Windows 98 data back-up somewhere, hmmm.

Yeah well.. A trophy cost 5000 stars, so dont see how 250 stars will help :)

Well if 10 people gave you a 250 star code you'd be halfway there...I can't imagine anyone would have a spare 5000 points knocking around, especially this late in the day.

Good luck anyway.

I worked at Gamestop for a bit to help out a buddy who was a store manager and I can confirm that, yes, employees would swipe the club Nintendo codes out of the used cases at every turn. One of the guys I worked with even told me to "put aside any codes that come in during my shift."

Ah, Gamestop.

Minor perks for rubbish paid jobs if you ask me, in the shop I worked at we got a few promos here and there so I don't see the issue unless there had been a 2 graded approach when buying the games (ie you got more to include the cards).

yeah, was hell last night - I spent from 8pm to 1am to finally get to the confirmation page and it crashed!!

Luckily it seems to be ok this morning and running really well :)

09-30-2015, 11:35 AM

Yeah :) I need 400 more points :( getting all my Facebook friends to scrounge for me :P.

Why have some (like Smash Bros Wii U) already expired, but things like "pokemon typing adventure" haven't? Surely they should expire in order of release date x

have you used wii fit and sports codes?

09-30-2015, 11:55 AM

09-30-2015, 12:18 PM

no idea, maybe they'll have some competitions?

It's a real shame they are closing this tho...it's been great :(

BTW, I sent the codes - I suggest you sort ASAP as it's the last day (not to state the obvious lol)

vhal_x

09-30-2015, 12:47 PM

Thanks so much! Yeah it really is sad it's closing, but I suppose they probably don't think it's worth it, partly because it'll be costing them money, and partly because hardly anyone has redeemed codes prior to now when we're all panicking that it's ending :rotf:

Yeah, doing it now. Site is already taking a beating again, going slow as shit x

09-30-2015, 12:52 PM

cool, let me know when you're happy so I can confirm with the other guy :)

Yeah, same thing happened with the US site. Most of us never redeemed those codes I think because we were always waiting for that next "big" thing (that never came). I had YEARS worth of codes and thousands of coins that had expired simply due to time I guess. Sounds like the same thing was happening over there too (except you guys got much better physical items).

Still haven't heard anything about what they're replacing their loyalty program with though. I loved how they used to send you cool things for registering a game early (like Zelda feather styluses and such). Most of my Nintendo games end up sitting sealed for awhile due to backlog, but I'm interested to see if we'll have to play them by a certain date or something going forward (though I guess renters or people who borrow them could still take advantage of that). :shrug:

from what I read the new rewards will be DIGITAL only going forward..like "DLC" content format...instead of getting DLC from Nintendo via preordering a game, you will buy a game, register it, and do the survey and get DLC content that way..i can't see that happening with every first title game, but it maybe something as little as a "color variation" of a character outfit, or a "bonus level" or skins..also there will be cross promo's allegedly, with other "Nintendo approved" vendors..like register 5 games and get $5 off your next Pizza hut order, etc..this is just from what I read on-line with some interview of one of the Nintendo higher ups..who was saying "digital rewards" will be offered, and "cross promotional activities" etc. but no more, physical items is what I got from it.
