Did the EU Club Nintendo ever have digital game codes as rewards? Because there are none right now and I can't remember there ever being any.

 

[Fandangox]

Damn, and just when I had gotten to Platinum Status.

Well the OP says this

In order to reach Elite Status, you must earn 300 Coins (for Gold Status) or 600 Coins (for Platinum Status) between July 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Members who reach Elite Status will be able to choose a downloadable game from a wide selection of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles. Your free Elite Status gift will be available between April 1 and April 30, 2015. A list of the Elite Status 2015 gifts will be posted here once announced.

Seems it will be digital games only like last year, but available earlier since the program is ending on July here.

Don't think so, But they had a lot of other cool

, but mostly useless,

swag.

The fact that two cross-promotions are happening right near the end of Club Nintendo is clear foreshadowing of the feature program. A code for Mewtwo in both the 3DS and Wii U versions of Smash, and a cross-buy Mario vs. DK game.

plus this is ending at the end of nintendo's fiscal year. it's sort of a clean cut (aside from the digital things they'll give away in april 2015).

 

[watershed]

For me the bigger news is that flipnote studio 3d is finally headed west!

 

[Garou]

You know

This is super weird immediately after they announce the MvDK thing where buying one registers it to your CN account and then they use that account to email you a code for the other.

Doesn't that use NNID instead of CN?

 

[Arkanius]

Oh fuck
I just did all my surveys and have 2400 points on Club Nintendo

 

[Sandfox]

It makes sense for them to replace CN all things considered.

I'll register all my leftover codes later.

 

[DVCY201]

Wait, so I have to redeem ALL of my Club Nintendo codes this year? Oh boy, I've got quite a few laying around. I'm hoping for some good rewards then.

 

[Firemind]

They used to offer physical games. The Zelda collection is the best thing I ever gotten out of Club Nintendo. There was also a Link statue at some point for 10,000 stars or something? Could never save up enough points for that. ;-;

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Indeed. Been waiting for that ever since SwapNotes died.

 

[redmetal86]

Damn, what a ride. Now I have to dig up my unused download codes.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Might try and get a t shirt then. Have 3500 stars on my account, but quite a few games to redeem.

 

[lupinko]

I got 695 JP points and 490 NA points. I'll get Wario 2 I guess. I just noticed advanced wars never came out in Japan hence the 3ds release but the U.S. version can still be bought new and for fairly cheap. $30.

I'll reconsider, I'm going to be buying a Wii U family bundle with Mario and Wii Party here in Japan in March (birthday present) and Bayo 2 tomorrow. Yes I'll have games before the console.

When does JP CN go kaput again?

Yeah I got a 3DS pouch from it, it's alright. Some cheap digital content would be great to get rid of the remaining stars though.

 

[Dee Dee]

Good.

The European rewards were shit. Useless tad. I spent 12000 stars on three Wii points cards in the end, which netted me Final Fantasy VI, Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario on Wii VC. Which is cool, bit given that I registered 2 systems and well over 80 games, that's a pretty pathetic haul.

The only worthwhile thing were exclusive demos and promotions, which they will surely find a way to continue.

 

[boiled goose]

this makes sense. The program is kind of broken. Hopefully the next forum will be fully integrated with the nintendo id. They should really be one and the same.

 

[anotherthought]

Whatever comes next, I hope Scandinavia is included.

 

[Nanashrew]

plus this is ending at the end of nintendo's fiscal year. it's sort of a clean cut (aside from the digital things they'll give away in april 2015).

With this timeline in place, the programme will definitely show up before Mewtwo or the new Mini-Mario game.

 

[Rocky]

Oh fuck

And you have more coming, don't forget the post play surveys. I'm entering my codes now myself, lol.

 

[boiled goose]

Sucks that your purchase history will get erased. Hopefully this means all digital purchases going forward will be Nintendo Id tied.

 

[?oe?oe]

I have 1850 stars. Should I exchange for shoelaces or wait for these new additions in the coming months, hmm.

I still have a sealed copy of Game and Watch for DS.

 

[Roo]

Whatever comes next, I hope Scandinavia is included.

Yeah, hoping the same for Mexico.
I mean, we're literally the only NA country without official CN support :/

 

[Jotamide]

Adieu Club Nintendo. While we all loved to bitch about it, I got 2 card cases, an XL charging cradle, and 2 3DS games out of the service. On top of the 2 platinum rewards I got (Majora's Mask OST and DKCR 3D) and the upcoming SSB4 OST and Mewtwo DLC. You will be missed!

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Kind of sad to hear, I remember joining it back in 2003 when it was called Vip 24:7.

Now I'm really curious to see what's next.

Come to think of it, they used to offer GBAs I believe at the very beginning. I already had one so I didn't take up the offer, but it was pretty cool. Shame that didn't last over the years.

 

[Wolf Akela]

I guess I have to use my codes now.

I don't use them. I got really bummed when they gave away a game for registering a game code a month or so after the game's release.

 

[batbeg]

Fine by me if they're giving me something to spend my coins on.

 

[Ikon]

Whatever comes next, I hope Scandinavia is included.

So much this.

I even registered my WiiU to the UK just to take part of the MK8 promotion recently. I wonder if it's possible to change that....

 

[co1onel]

My god we are finally getting flipnote studio 3d? Didn't even care about the club nintendo stuff after reading that.

 

[Pheidias]

So is it possible to just give away scratchcards? I live in Sweden and club Nintendo isnt available here. But games sometimes have cards in them anyway. I have at least 5 cards that are up for grabs.

 

[L~A]

Well, it was a great idea for me to buy that Mario Kart 8 t-shirt (cool stuff, nice to wear).

Problem is that now, I don't have enough stars to buy anything

 

[toythatkills]

Good.

This was pretty cool, limited to 300 in the entire world.

I'll take one, if you are not interested...

 

[Nanashrew]

Mario vs. Donkey Kong comes out in early March with crossbuy. I bet the new programme will begin late February for all future games starting in spring.

Color me interested

What a beauty... How many stars did it cost?

I'd be interested!

There's also cross-buy in Europe though. No idea why it's not been implemented in NA yet.

 

[toythatkills]

What a beauty... How many stars did it cost?

15,000. It was easier to collect them back then though, through random surveys and getting 5* per day just for logging in.

 

[Herb Alpert]

15,000

Ouch. Is it the higher star cost ever?

 

[Lernaean]

Most likely it's for the better. Many countries did not have CN anyway, and the whole deal smells like merging everything to your NNID which means we are closer to unified accounts.

 

[Ladekabel]

Decided to trade in all my Stars when I read this. Now I can't log in... :/

 

[Condom]

CN is like those discount stickers only elderly grandmothers collect at supermarkets.

 

[Herb Alpert]

Everybody made the same decision it seems...

we can only hope...

do it Nintendo and ill buy a new 3ds for my birthday

Scratchcards are most welcome here

Would be interested

 

[Synless]

Or those badass 3DS systems they gave away.

 

[toythatkills]

Yeah, I think a couple of other things have cost that but I've not seen anything higher. There was a Link statue for 15,000 once.

It was worth it though, it's basically priceless, haha.
