What cool content, gifts, or awards have you received through Club Nintendo? Should I expect any cool perks/gifts? Any award recommendations? Right now I'm eyeing the exclusive Club Nintendo Game & Watch DS games and the giant AR cards for the 3DS. (I just bought a 3DS on the price drop day, and I'm extremely pleased with this purchase!)
Post by: scott on August 15, 2011, 01:15:41 pm
Recently they re-released the Game & Watch game Ball as a redeemable reward.
I've gotten some poster sets and a really nice bag I have the Flame Red 3DS on pre-order through Amazon so I'll prolly get the Giant AR card soonish as well as the Donkey Kong Anniversary posters. I really want the Game & Watch DS games too though... ha

If you have a lot of games, I'd say be careful with how many you register! I only try to register up to getting gold status and no more (save it for the following year!). I've never had enough to get platinum, but it's a tricky gamble since they don't initially tell you what the reward will be. And once they do, you only get the option of getting the platinum reward OR the gold reward - not both.

I would have loved to get my hands on that Mario & Co. statuette that they gave away the year before last. This year I am getting another Calendar.
I know, that's the one year I didn't qualify for Platinum Status, and the sucky thing is...I had plenty of codes. I just went through a period where I wasn't visiting the Nintendo site much and totally botched it. That statue is awesome. I've got the button set coming this year, and a collector friend has offered to sell me his calender since he only hit Gold.

Also, @abuccilli, after registering a game, you will usually get the chance to do a follow-up survey about the item. It can be a little tedious, but it's an easy way to grab a few more points to get a reward you really want.

@brettybluevein I like your mario hat game holder. Did they stop offering it as a reward, or did you acquire it elsewhere?
I'll keep the tips in mind, but hopefully I didn't screw myself over yesterday by registering everything I had. Even though my Wii and DS Lite didn't give me any coins, I still made it up to 1,000 coins! (My Wii games since the console's launch provided most of these coins because 75% of them are Nintendo. Of course, the 3DS helped a lot too!)
I think I'm going to be fine though because I'll likely get the Game & Watch DS game (800 Coins) and the giant AR card (200 Coins). Are there any preferences over the Game & Watch Collection 1 or 2?
Last, check out this video for some GIANT AR card fun!

It'd be nice to own one, but it's not on the top of the list. Actually the next collectable I'm planning on getting are the Castlevania action figures from NECA. Soo bad ass. :D

Back on topic, I can see why they'd want to ship it out in as small a container as possible, but why fold it? They could roll it into a poster tube...

Yeah I downloaded some games on Virtual Console and never thought to check the site. Yet I still have a survey opportunity for saying I was planning to buy a game that came out 3 years ago...
Yeah, some of their deadlines are *super* long and far away... which makes the super short deadlines for the eShop items very frustrating.

Ah, you are correct, sir.
Please confirm by January 9th if you would like a replacement and we'll happily send you a new Year-view Calendar insert.
Thanks for the correction!

Post by: scott on December 29, 2011, 08:24:17 am
Also, while I wish I could have gotten in on the Ambassador games. The original price of the 3DS is something I couldn't justify when it was first released. I'll be getting a red 3DS soonish though, once I recoup from Christmas and snowboard gear, ha. I need to get it before the take down Four Swords...

It's getting down to the end of the Club Nintendo coin year, so this new news about changing coin values for 7/1 might be of use in case you have items yet to register:Huh, odd that some of the coin values are actually going UP for 3DS games... I was saving typing in OoT 3D and Super Mario 3D Land for the next Club year, to help for the 2013 Platinum, and now I'm happy I did! xD
https://club.nintendo.com/coin-values.do?eid=ClubN6122012NoneNoneClubNsurveychange_group5
A little sad the eShop games seem to be dropping to 5 coins, though... less for the actual coin value, though, and moreso because then my coins might end up uneven! I like nice, round numbers! :(

Post by: desocietas on June 14, 2012, 03:25:20 pm
I had a bunch of points that were going to expire this month as well has having a handful of games I hadn't registered yet, so I punched those in last night and cashed them in for the messenger bag. I was hoping to save up enough to get Game and Watch 2 or the actual Game & Watch, but it's going to be awhile before I get 800 or 1200 coins.

Nice! I have that bag, too. They don't say it anywhere, but there's a little piece of velcro (I think) that holds the inside opening closed a bit. But I don't like to use it too much 'cause I'm afraid it might be pretty limited.

Just gotta wait a little bit for nintendo to announce this year's Platinum prize. I'm keeping my expectations way low after last year's pins.
Post by: jobocan on July 06, 2012, 12:08:54 pm
The Platinum/Gold rewards popped up on the Club Nintendo website last night but were taken down, but IGN caught it and made a post for them:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/06/club-nintendos-2012-platinum-and-gold-prizes-revealed
So either posters or clear plastic playing cards for platinum.
For Gold, either the usual calendar or a downloadable game:
Club Nintendo Calendar - 2013
Super Mario Kart
Metroid II: Return of Samus
Mario vs DK: Minis March Again!
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Yup I got my notice a few days ago! I went with the cards too, I'm torn between opening them and checking them out/ playing a few games. Or leaving them sealed....
Did you get them yet? The box isn't sealed so you should be able to play with them. The only sort of seal is a plastic strip wrapped around the center but you can likely slide them in and out if you wanted to.

oh well.
hey at least you got to register your wii u. My game pad will not recognize my wifi network that i use to connect my lap top with and according to the website, you have to register your wii u via gamepad.

The Luigi 3DS pouches are freshly back in stock, for anyone interested. I just ordered the Pikmin bag myself though, so no pouch for me!
For some reason, I thought about the Luigi pouch but I keep wanting to save up my coins, hoping and wishing they will bring more items like the Zelda poster set but I guess not :(

wii-u only give me 160 points. that seems harsh since 1 wii-u game is 60. so thats 100 points for the system.
oh well.
hey at least you got to register your wii u. My game pad will not recognize my wifi network that i use to connect my lap top with and according to the website, you have to register your wii u via gamepad. I emailed nintendo to ask if they could manual put in my serial number and they said no so i dont get to register mine :(
that sucks. can you not hard wire it to the modem?
