US/CAN Club Nintendo Thread: New and improved. Read the OP.
- Thread starter Clipper
- Start date
I've got the Fire Emblem 3DS bundle, so while I have the game it isn't listed as registered on my Club Nintendo account.
Yeah, I logged in yesterday just to check what games I might want to try playing before the post-play surveys expire (registered a bunch of unplayed games from my backlog) and found out that
a.) I'd gotten a registration survey for Super Little Acorns and
b.) it was going to expire in three days. WTF?! Can't you email me about these things?
What's even weirder about this is that I bought MSF the same day, July 4th, and the registration survey for that expires August 3rd. :/
You can call Nintendo about this and they will register it for you. Though I'd wait to do so until we have any word on date restrictions for the $30 credit.
Hm, I'll have to try again. I sent an email about it when I got the bundle but was told it wasn't eligible for registration since it was bundled software.

Is it just me, or is the current catalog of rewards a bit lacking? Without the G&W and other larger prizes, I'm a bit underwhelmed. The Platinum prize better be amazing.

Man I check this thread everyday hoping to see what the rewards going to be... yall need to quit bumping this thread back on the first page...
wait, oops....
wait, oops....
Saw the thread bump, leaving disappointed. Will be back soon to check again.
I remember them taking months to tell us what the rewards are in the past? Am I remembering wrong?
Huh, I didn't realize bundled stuff was treated differently. I can understand maybe it not being worth points, that's one thing...but what if your 3DS is stolen/lost? Do you just forfeit the bundled game since it "can't" be registered? Or did your bundle register differently than a standard 3DS?
If you don't have a special Fire Emblem 3DS registration...yeah, I'd try calling to get it linked to your account just because of the potential for loss.
p.s. sorry/not sorry for the bump that's going to make people think rewards are out

I hope a big refresh is coming all at once.
You're wrong. The longest wait was July 13th and that was the first year. I posted all the dates a few pages back but I'm on my phone or else I'd find it and post it again.
Nope, no change.

No mention of US only. I'm optimistic.
Also, this is hands-down one of the best promos I've ever seen.
make a thread!
edit: never mind, I made it, lol. too impatient xD

It doesn't quite specify-but if I've already purchased Fire Emblem-back when it launched and registered it-I can simply buy SMT and register it-and get my credit?
Holy crap, yes, RETAIL IS INCLUDED! & it expires 8/31, giving you MORE than enough time to get both games!
Edit: "$30 credit can be redeemed for the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS or Wii U." Wanna point that out for those who might want to get Wii U eShop stuff with the credit.

I have a random question here...
My dad wants to buy a basic Wii U for streaming movies and playing occasional games, since it's on sale for $250 in Canada. Is there any way I can use my Nintendo Network ID on his console (I own a premium Wii U)? I know purchases won't carry over, but can I use my Miiverse and stuff on his console?

I think I am at the same place where you are. I played a lot of Persona 3 Portable and plan on finishing it this month. I really like it but I know nothing about the SMT universe or what this game is even about. I assume it is an RPG with demon summoning.
I guess for $30 credit, it can't be all that bad!
I think you'd only be able to access your Miiverse on the browser like you can on a computer, assuming the Wii U browser is even good enough to handle it.
I haven't played SMT4 myself, but the demon fusion in persona is about the same as it is in the SMT games, obviously the S-link stuff isn't a factor though. Battle systems use a similar exploit weakness->press turn concept, except you fight alongside your demons instead of simply summoning them for attacks. You can swap them out mid-fight and such as well.
Story progression and dungeons are done more in the style of a traditional RPG rather than the timed school setting and random dungeons of Persona. The older SMT games and Strange Journey used first person perspectives in dungeons, but Nocturne (SMT3) and 4 both have third person exploration which is a lot easier to deal with. As for the setting, expect oppressive atmosphere and dark themes all about.
There's a reason Nocturne experienced a huge jump in popularity after Persona 3, I don't think you'll have a hard time adapting at all. There's no persistent storyline or anything you'll be missing out on, so go ahead and jump in at 4.
The only question is whether I'll get it on disc or digitally.
The Pikmin 3 Digital purchase survey makes very little sense - especially when it asks whether I will buy it new or used, and whether I will preorder it.
Well that's shitty. I guess I'll just make a second account on his console then. Sucks that I'm essentially going to lose all of my friends though.
This $30 credit thing is pretty great.
I already have Fire Emblem: Awakening [although I've yet to register it, will do it soon!] and have SMTIV pre-ordered.
I wonder what game I'll get with my $30 credit? Perhaps Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
[Assuming this applies to Canada as well. It had better!]

It does
Now that's a face I haven't seen in awhile, I remember seeing you post on the N-Philes forums.
Incredible news!
Free Animal Crossing [essentially] here I come! >
It's $39.99 + tax, so not really. But very cheap Animal Crossing!
That's why I said "essentially". >
It's not entirely free, but it does knock off a significant portion! I thought it was $34.99 on the e-Shop, though.
Either way, it will be mine!

After I get my free reward I'm out. Not buying SMT for that $30 bonus or anymore 3ds/WiiU games for that matter unless NoA can improve their attitude and the way they handle their business

It has to do with them saying "No" to streaming Smash at EVO.
I believe he/she means the free Gold/Platinum reward and passing on the Fire Emblem: Awakening/SMTIV $30 credit for buying/registering both.
It's likely due to Nintendo pulling Super Smash Bros. from the upcoming EVO. I will admit that even I'm upset over that, especially after what fans did to have it there in the first place and the fact that it would essentially be free publicity for them [how do they say "no" to this?], but I'm not going to boycott Nintendo over it.
I just hope that they come to their senses soon and realize that the Internet is their friend, not their enemy. Having Super Smash Bros. showcased at EVO is an honor, and the proceeds towards doing so went towards a worthy cause. This is just going to cause a lot of [well-deserved, in this case] negative backlash.
But, back on the topic of Club Nintendo.

I'm aware that the Gold/Platinum reward and the Fire Emblem: Awakening/SMTIV $30 credit are unrelated. I was under the impression that he/she was making that statement based on something to do with a product. Under that assumption I was pointing out how ridiculous that comment was.
If the comment was about not showing Smash Bros. at EVO it's also a little silly and completely unrelated to this Club Nintendo account. There's an entire thread about it.
