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.

Club Nintendo discontinued worldwide, new program to follow
- Thread starter L~A
- Start date
Well the OP says this
Seems it will be digital games only like last year, but available earlier since the program is ending on July here.
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).

Doesn't that use NNID instead of CN?
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. ;-;
Indeed. Been waiting for that ever since SwapNotes died.

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

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

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.

Whatever comes next, I hope Scandinavia is included.
With this timeline in place, the programme will definitely show up before Mewtwo or the new Mini-Mario game.
Oh fuck
I just did all my surveys and have 2400 points on Club Nintendo
And you have more coming, don't forget the post play surveys. I'm entering my codes now myself, lol.

Sucks that your purchase history will get erased. Hopefully this means all digital purchases going forward will be Nintendo Id tied.
Yeah, hoping the same for Mexico.
I mean, we're literally the only NA country without official CN support :/

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!

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.

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.

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....

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

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

Ouch. Is it the higher star cost ever?

Or those badass 3DS systems they gave away.This was pretty cool, limited to 300 in the entire world.

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.
