I was surprised to receive an email from Nintendo saying that Club Nintendo is coming soon. I am curious if people outside the US are in the Club Nintendo for their region, and if there are any worthwhile benefits for joining.

I'm a member of Nintendo Europe. You can register consoles and games for points, and from those points you can buy items like wallpapers, ringtones, keyrings and things like that. It's a really nice system, though there were much more items in the shop in the Gamecube era. Also, back then, when you registered a game you got wallpapers, screensavers and things from that game for free.

u forgot to mention the best thing: u can trade in those points for wii points which u cna use to buy games on the vc. u only get 100 wii points for 400 Nintendo points, but it's better than nothing. i bet almost everybody can buy 1-2 vc games if he registers all his games and his console.

Indeed, I'd have a gold mine of points. I can't wait until it hits the States so I can get my special items/wii points!

Trading in the points for the Wii Points sounds like a sweet deal. Hopefully they will have it for the US version.

Club Nintendo started around 17 years ago in Mexico, and by the success they expand it to all Latin America. And now is going to be in US.

That's the magazine. Why would it go to the US if they have Nintendo Power.

They are talking about the consumer rewards program.

Probably. Nintendo Europe still gives points when registering Gamecube and GBA games. But I doubt that a new registration system will support old games when it hasn't been done before.
