US/CAN Club Nintendo Thread: New and improved. Read the OP.

So my good wife went to some yard sales yesterday and thought I'd be interested in this:

25 cents. No box, but... 25 cents. Just need to dust it off still.

Hello. I hate you.

25 cents. No box, but... 25 cents. Just need to dust it off still.

Was dusting this yesterday and interestingly, the bottom of mine says "Nintendo of Europe".

Good find by your wife!
 
So for the Mario Kart promotion, do I have to select my free game immediately after registering Mario Kart, or can I sit on it? I've got a spare Mario Kart 8 code that I'm not sure works, and if it does work then I'm putting the free game on eBay
 
I haven't registered my Wii U to club Nintendo or any of my games. I want to collect the points for next year, but I want to download Zelda and NSMB U today. Is this possible?

Can I register everything now and do the surveys in July? What about the system?
 
For those who ordered refurbished wiimote+nunchuk from online nintendo store, do the blue comes with a blue nunchuk or just maybe white?

You should be good. Surveys last one month, so if you download any games today, the surveys will expire on July 3rd. Just make sure to link your CN account with your Wii U.

I ordered a black one a few months ago and it came with a black nunchuk, so you should be good. It also lists on the store page that it does come with a matching colour, so you should be doubly good. :)

It's a great deal too!

They match the colors from everything I've read.

On that note, I ordered a black set Monday night and it's already shipped out. Should be here on Monday or Tuesday—maybe Friday if it processes quickly enough. Kind of impressive if that's the case.

Cool. I wonder if the blue one will get a blue nunchuk also. I guess I'll just buy the white one.

If I purchase a game in Canada can I register it on a Wii U in America that has US as its specified region?

Of course. Why not? They are in the same region.
 
Got Platinum status for 2014 by registering MK8, Kirby Triple Deluxe and Wind Waker HD. I have 610 coins. I shouldn't be adding any more until June 30 right?
 
Correct, wait until July 1st when the new reward year starts & you can start registering stuff towards the 600 needed for that year.

Exactly. Once you get platinum your good. The last day for this cycle is the 30th. After that the cycle begins a new. There's no reason to top up on coins unless you plan on ordering multiple items.
 
Can I do anything with my points (other than buying the digital games) if I have a US 3DS in Europe?

You are talking about club nintendo coins right? Sadly, nothing. There's only two way to use the coins. One is to buy the digital games for the month and the other one is to get the physical rewards that they have. So, if you are not living in US or Canada then getting digital games is your only choice

Alright then. Maybe I'll keep saving them with the hopes of Nintendo at some point putting SNES games on the 3DS reward thingy.
 
Anyone here have a Japanese Club Nintendo account? I don't have an account but have a code for a white Wii U pro controller. If you want it, please PM me.
 
Is there any chance that there will be a new reward before Jne 30th? If not i guess i'll order the Yoshi cloth thingy.

You have expiring coins? It'll explicitly say if you have expiring coins on the CN website, as it takes over 2 years for earned coins to expire. Just didn't want you to think they reset at the CN year or something. :)
 
I still regret throwing mine out when we moved. I believe it ended up at a goodwill

Why on earth would you just throw something like that away? Seriously? Sorry, I don't get it when people do this. Also never got the whole "Moms always throw away comics and stuff, oh well, that's just mom, ya know??!" My mom never threw away our stuff and sometimes still calls me once in awhile to let me know if she found something I might want to keep.
 
I just checked mine and I got 599 points for Pikmin 3.

How long did it take between putting the code in on your Wii U for Pikmin before the points showed up on the site? I put in WWHD a couple hours ago but the site hasn't changed for my deluxe digital points.

Pretty simple I was relocating half way across country and the less crap we could move with the better. It is pretty simple, all that thing is is just a cheap hunk of plastic. I didn't realize that people valued that hunk of plastic and I didn't need the clutter or crap in my house when I moved.

If I had known it had some value to folks I probably would have given it away.
 
Does anyone know how long a survey lasts if you enter a CN code but DON'T complete the survey these days?

I haven't tried doing that in a while, and I was curious as to that fact... has anyone entered a code but HASN'T completed a survey recently?
 
So is there any hint as to what the platinum reward is going to be this year? I'm not sure why I'm asking since people were talking about a controller last year and it turned out to be hot garbage instead but maybe something changed this year.

Has anyone been able to access CN? I keep getting the down error.

On now. Works fine.
 
Did the Club Nintendo Year already switch? I'm back down to Gold status but I thought the year switched over July 31st.

Edit: Nevermind, must have been some weird glitch. I'm Plat again.
 
Exactly WHEN does the "june 30" ends to club nintendo ?

I will not be able to keep the mario kart points to the next year, right ?

Yeah, you have to do the survey this year. Nintendo planned this out wisely, lol.

Only surveys that expire July 1st or later can be left for next year, and it might even be risky to leave July 1st surveys for July 1st, just in case the site gets hammered and goes down and you miss your chance to do the survey completely.
 
Oh phew, I have a survey for Yumi's Odd Odyssey that's 30 coins that expires on July 1st, so guess I'll wait later in the day (assuming we actually learn what the platinum rewards are on that day).

Thanks, maybe in need to wipe out my cache. Cheers!
 
Did anyone have an internal conflict when getting Mario Kart 64? I'll have 220 coins left if I get Mario Kart 64. Do I really want to start next cycle with that many coins? Club Nintendo GAF, council me.....


Went a little crazy this year...

Jesus. You got enough coins to feed Africa. How many of those are expiring if you don't mind me asking?
 
I've never had a single coin expire.

GEEEZZZZ. Coin game on point and then some. I tip my hat to you sir. Teach me your ways.

Damn, so conflicted on whether or not to get Mario Kart 64. If only I knew what the prizes were After June 8th. GAF, is the game worth the coins spent?
 
I have to get 270 coins for Platinum. I'm picking up MK8 sometime soon, so I'll get that and the free game. I don't think I'll make it this year, though :(

Hope the Gold Rewards are good.
