Club Nintendo = Nintendo Still Loves The Hardcore

I've been with Nintendo since the beginning and a few years ago starting hearing about Club Nintendo Japan and the stuff they offered their members. I saw how nice the stuff were and thought that America would have a Club Nintendo for sure. To my dismay they didn't. I then saw what Platinum members got, a SNES Famicom Classic Controller. I wanted it so bad but remembered that it wasn't available to the US so I became annoyed. Club Nintendo is now here after so many years, I'm on board with 150 coins and can't wait to go Platinum. I just need 9 more Nintendo-developed Wii games. This goes to show you that although it was something NOA overlooked or couldn't do for the longest time (I still wonder why it took so long) Nintendo is starting to pay more attention to the fans. The average casual gamer won't even care about this so this is a gift to the hardcore.

I can't wait to see what they do next and what other services or software will come. Look at Sin and Punishment, because of the VC and them deciding to bring Sin and Punishment on so everyone can buy they are just now making Sin and Punishment 2, which looks astounding. If Nintendo keeps this up they will be able to properly balance the casual and hardcore again.

i still cant get into club nintendo. i keep getting the pop up saying "hello former my nintendo member .........." and it brings me to the transfer site and ive "successfully transferred" my account like 10 times but i cant actually get to the account

EDIT: I only need another 7 or 8 games by 2010. I can settle for a Gold prize in 2009.

cubnintendo is nice and all but id rather have a good game instead of pack of playing cards that says nintendo on itgongytron

I've always wondered what will be the difference between the Gold and Platinum members' prizes. It would be neat to get both...well, at least if you made it to platinum.Wolblade

Do the games have to be developed by Nintendo?

Also do Gamecube games add up to anything?

And one last thing how many coins does one game get you?

Hehehehe 50 more points until I can get the Animal Crossing DS Game holder thingy xP. I'm glad Nintendo finally brought it over to the U.S. :).

Oh yeah I was wondering like...you still have gold/platinum status, even after you spend the coins right? I think that'd be kind of ridiculous if you didn't :?.

Joke thread?

They cancel out most of the purchases made by dedicated fans of the software

This was a slap in the face for the "hardcore" gamer, funny thread if that's what you're going for though

Nintendo will never leave the hardcore. They were the ones that started all. Club Nintendo is the proof of it!Rod90

All wrong

Nintendo didn't make the first gaming console

Nintendo has targeted the casual from the NES. Their plan wasn't to get everyone who threw away their Ataris and Colecovisions. Their idea was to get everyone who hadn't played a game before. The kids and the parents who wanted light entertaining gameplay.

Heck they even packaged it with a toy robot to show that it was the most casual of the casual

Nintendo is a casual company. They were founded as a casual company and that's all they've ever been.

They give away packs of playing cards? Screw them, what a joke. What a chinsey company they've become...

I remember being 12 and trading in all my popsicle pete popsicle sticksI'd collected all summer and mailed them in for Super Mario Bros. 3.

Now they give away playing cards with the Nintendo logo on it...:roll:

Thanks Club Nintendo, but no thanks.

Dragon Warrior 1 was far from casual.

Ninja Gaidan 1, 2 and 3 were far from casual.

Metroid was far from casual.

Nintendo has targeted the casual from the NES? Give me a break.:roll:

I saw very few grammas and grampas playing the 8-bit nes, but that's what they're targeting now.

Nintendo has changed. Either deal with it, or keep your head buried in the sand.

Wow, you caught me. I haven't been on Club Nintendo.

However, my comment of "thanks Club Nintendo, but no thanks" was a bit of a give away, but good try anyways. :P

I should check it out though, sinse I do have quite a lot of Wii games.
