Have you gotten anything from Club Nintendo yet?

I just got my points for buying New Play Control! Pikmin and I was looking at the selection. It is impressive. I was just wondering how many of you guys have actually gotten anything from it, or if any of you even take advantage of it.

I just wish we could get the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack like Club Nintendo in Japan. Best. Music. Ever.

Nah I haven't gotten anything yet, there selection looks cool but there is nothing that i would want right now. I think ill hoard my points till something really cool comes along.

nah there is nothing good. i have 810 points and another 400 or so that i have to fill surveys out for but im not doin that intil after the club nintendo year is finished. i already am platinum why waste points that i can use for next year when theres nothing good out.

I got my Game & Watch Collection about a month back.

Just 200 points away from it, here. I'm going to save any points it get for when the new year for Club Nintendo starts. I've already reached Platinum status, anyway.

No; terrible offerings at the moment.

nope :P

I got one of the DS game cartridge holders.

ive spent all my points for trading them in into wii points and got summer games, bomberman '93 and world of goo from them.ganga_

No I didn't yet cause I want is the Game and Watch game.

:O how do you trade them for wii points?!

I've been on the fence about getting the Game & Watch ds game but I wasn't sure if it was worth it.

Does anyone who has it want to share any thoughts on the game?

:O how do you trade them for wii points?!

you cant do this in the Usa

I got my Mr. Game and Watch Collection. Now I will wait until next year to register points, no sense in losing points that could be used for Platinum status next year.

Where did you read that it's yearly?

I'm vulgarly annoyed with the fact that it's only first party games that actually have codes to be able to redeem for points into this, and only fairly recent games at that. What about all the (better) third party games, like the newly released Madworld?codezer0

Yeah that makes sense, Nintendo should pay you to buy other developer's games

Oh wait, it doesn't

Please explain why Nintendo should waste it's time rewarding you for buying other games?

When you buy something from Capcom does EA send you a sticker?

Nope, I haven't even signed up. It won't transfer my original Nintendo account over, so I quit trying. :P

You're serious?

You want one company to pay for you buying another company's product?

This is a situation you run into often? Buy a Jeep then wonder why Ford hasn't sent you a license plate holder?

Really?

[QUOTE="codezer0"]Considering that Clover (now platinumGames) is about the only dev group still taking the wii seriously as an avenue for hardcore games for hardcore players, and that Club Nintendo is supposed to be made for "hardcore supporters" of Nintendo product, I don't see how they can't work something out for the reward system.bob_newman

Yes

And who is the company that releases that game?

Nintendo

Yeah I got something, I've gotten ignored and played. All the games I got (Which is around 35 or so), and hardly any of them count for points. (Of course most of them that don't, aren't Nintendo games but still, they are made for a Nintendo System and should count as something even if not as much as Nintendo First Party games, they should count as like half points or something). Anyway, as far as the ignored part, I say this due to the fact that Club Nintendo Japan has amazing stuff (like the ability to transfer them to Wii Points) and yet again, Club Nintendo US gets Game & Watch Collection.:cry:

Yes, I got Wii points for my stars, lots of them. And as a consequence, I downloaded some games from virtual console and wiiware. :D

[QUOTE="bob_newman"] Hey, Jason. Buy a 3rd-party Wiiware game. Tell me if you get points or not. Oh wait, you do.bob_newman

Yes

Nintendo is the publisher of all Wiiware games

It doesn't work that way in retail (box) games

Go here and look at who the publisher is on the right.

what i want to know is why the hell can't you trade in for wii points in NA, thats a total rip off! Pretty much all the rewards are crap I dont really want a single thing and I would much rather get some wii points even if it is a relatively small amount.

I registered all my wii games to reach platinum, but I haven't decided on what to order yet. I too really hope they release the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack is offered as a reward.

This thread actually just reminded me to make my account and i have a question, what does having gold or platnium mean/do?

Nothing but I do have Platinum Status :)

I believe that at the end of each club nintendo year, platinum status members get sent a special gift. Gold and platinum is yearly, so you'll lose it after recieving the free gift.

You don't think before you type, do you? Nintendo already offers Club Nintendo points for 3rd party games in Japan. Your examples of Jeep/Ford and Capcom/EA are misguided. When you buy a Capcom game on Wii, EA makes no money off it so you're right to suggest giving away rewards would be stupid if EA did it, but it is VERY different for Nintendo. When you but ANY third party game on ANY platform, the platform holder (in the Wii and DS' case, Nintendo) get a share of the money, usually $10. So when you buy an EA or Capcom game on Wii or DS, Nintendo is profiting. Points for 3rd party games would also encourage consumers to buy a Wii or DS version of a game rather than a version on a competitor's platform. It makes all kinds of business sense to extended Club Nintendo to third parties.
