probably processing thousands of Earthbound orders simultaneously...
I'm currently debating what to order -- multiple years of tracking codes has resulted in a small surplus in CN coins -- and I already own essentially everything on the digital downloads.. I may have to buy some early birthday presents.
*pours one out for the spreadsheet*
Everyone in this thread owes you a debt of gratitude for what you've done for us during Club Nintendo's life. Thank you, sir.
It was a group effort.
...
Clipper helped out a lot during the Google Docs conversion, and I did get some e-mails from folks, but... I'm not going to miss the weekend "scour the eShops for missing titles" sessions.
I think I'm going to keep it going, in a altered form, as a way to track historical eShop sales/releases/removed titles. I haven't seen any other source that appears as comprehensive. Maybe I should open it up a bit and get some help, though. I do have to catch up, though -- the last full update to the thing was at the end of December, and I need to add in all the January releases.

Club Nintendo hasn't gone online for me for a long time :/
I was just able to log in and buy something. Maybe 4am eastern is the bewitching hour.
Nooooooooo

I cannot get the Nintendo list to load https://club.nintendo.com/eligible-products.do so I want to double check here. Only first party Wii titles have Club Nintendo codes, right?
Also for the Wii U does ZombiU and Tekken Tag have codes for the physical copies?
Oh, I just remembered I also have the Nintendo 3DS XL Legend of Zelda A Link between Worlds Bundle which I never opened. How many points do I get for that?
Can I open the box and take out the paper with the code and still keep everything mint? The paper is not sealed inside a plastic pouch is it?

I'm pretty sure they are. I can't log in from home at all, but from work it will (kind of) work, and when it doesn't I never get the maintenance page.
Man, it's getting tense in here. It's okay, everyonethere's still eight weeks to earn more coins and almost five months left to redeem them, particularly if they're digital and won't be running out.
So, um, how does one do that, exactly?
Dont know about Tekken but ZombiU will only give you coins if its the digital version.
I know this because i have the disc version

100% blocking based on IP. I just tried using VPN and it worked perfectly. A paid VPN. Tunnelbear gave me the same error. Even clicking on anything else while logged in on VPN (after turning off VPN) brings up the maintenance page. This is a new low.
I even tried a UK IP on VPN and it was the same maintenance page.
Edit: Tried more locations to access club.nintendo.com. Results - Canada= maintenance. US generic= works. US east coast (and west coast 2 sep locations)= works. Japan = maintenance.

just got off the phone with nintendo customer service about my orders not going through but then getting coins deducted... he said that even though coins were taken no orders were made since there are no order inquiry codes for it, and that my coins should be replaced automatically...
said if takes more than a few days or I end up getting the codes to call them and they can do something.
we'll see

So Nintendo's solution for website overloading is to... region lock the site. Instead of scaling up capacity like every other sane company would do, they just blocked everyone who doesn't access the site from one country.
If anyone was wondering whether they might be softening on their stance on region locking for the future, well, here's your answer.

Works fine now but I couldn't finish Shantae survey. (Outside US)
I'm in Canada and it works just fine for me at work all day today, but I get the Maintenance page at home. So I don't think the site is blocking by country.
I'm not Nintendo, but surely a big company like that could've thought of something? 2-step verification or something maybe where you need to confirm via email too or something? I dunno...
Unless you think they made the good choice with not letting ANYONE share messages on Swapnote that don't involve children's safety, because one ONE incident that occured.

Working right now. thanks. Logged in without VPN but site is slow. It was definitely blocking prior to this.

Uh. It looks like they're still adding physical rewards.
The Luigi+Pikmin+Wind Waker poster set is there today for me (don't remember seeing it before), and my girlfriend is seeing the Kirby Epic Yarn patches on her computer (they don't show up on my side even after a few reloads of the reward page... weird).

I know some Wii Games are eligible to be redeemed but im not finding any club Nintendo codes in any of my games. It shows I registered my Twilight Princess code last year but I have no code for it in here so no idea how I redeemed it. Is it the serial number?
I'm not seeing these patches on the rewards page. Is anyone else? Is it just the 2 different sets (Monster truck & UFO and Kirby & Prince Fluff)?

I got Donkey Kong 3D, and now I have 800 coins left and no idea what to spend them on. God. It's amazing in this huge selection of games that I can't find anything I don't already have that I want. Debating getting the Zelda bag just because.
well, when I look at the digital offerings my brain auto-deletes things on NES for Wii U and and GB for 3DS (because they are pretty cheap on their own and not worth the coins)
the entire wii section also doesnt exist to me
edit: more people shoudl check out GAME & WARIO.. I got it as the platinum reward and enjoy it for what it is.. it's also nice to have on the HDD as it's more arcade games or party games so the quick access is nice... has some fun games on there, some not so fun ones too but..... the miiverse sketch game is hilarious

I just ordered my 7th one, the new 2015 edition one. I don't think you can go wrong with another card case, especially with this one having new covers.
Unless, you don't plan on filling them up before the end of the 3DS cycle (that is if they change the cartridge again with the next generation lol). I ended up giving two of them to my sister, so I really will only have five also, and I think that should last me...I think lol

Finally started to spend the meager amount of coins I amassed. Cashed in 200 coins for Sakura Samurai. Looks fun enough. Now after a couple more post-play surveys, I should have 250 coins left.
Do I get Dillon's Rolling Western or Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move?
Not a huge fan of either tower defense or Lemmings-type puzzles, but both have the Nintendo seal. How's the actual action in D'sRW? Gonna have to think this one out.

well can certainly fill them up with DS games lol
just not sure if I really need to fill them up with DS games
I'm thinking that I'd rather spend my coins on physical stuff than games though, so I'll probably just grab the case.

You have got a great point there, I still have a bunch of DS games I need to track down. Looks like I'll need an extra card case now! Haha!
Yeah, I would prefer spending my coins on physical stuff that I can't really find anywhere else. The digital games I can always purchase later on down the road.
I also dislike both of those genres but I had a lot of fun with Minis on the Move, which is closer to Pipe Dream than Lemmings.

If you're using GMail, check your spam. That's where about half of my Club Nintendo emails end up.

Took my coins for chibi robo yesterday and still haven't gotten a code. Just got super mario world and the email came right away. I'm guessing I have to contact Nintendo?

You get the code instantly on the webpage when you place your order, right?

Nope wario came up saying my coins are safe with him. That fucker stole them. It shows in my coin history that it was purchased. Mario 64 and Mario World worked fine and I received emails.
Everything's been pretty clear for me at this point - slow, but workable. Managed to get EarthBound and Doc Louis' Punch-Out!! a few hours ago.
Once I get my post-play for EarthBound I should have 150 left... town between Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong for the Game Boy. Any thoughts on those?

Did EarthBound give you any coins? (no counting post play survey)

Yeah, that actually happened to me yesterday, I'm still waiting for my sticker star download code. Fucking Wario.

Wario is a fucking dick, I can't believe NoA lets him go around and take people's coins like that
DK '94, no question. One of the greatest GB games, and greatest games period. SML is a fun diversion and unusual Mario entry, and worth playing, but DK will give you many more hours of enjoyment.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
When is the best time to use this broken ass site?
