When did Club Nintendo open?

The Riddler · January 05, 2009, 12:49:04 AM

I know it's been around in Japan, but it's available in America now.

Where the hell have I been?

https://club.nintendo.com/

Edit to make this more discussable:

If you're registered, how many coins do you have?
Have you earned any rewards yet?
What games have you registered?

I have 230 coins, but will soon have much more.
I haven't spent any coins, mainly because I don't have enough.
I've registered:
Tetris DS
Super Mario 64 DS
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Brain Age
Diddy Kong Racing DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

It sucks that alot of the games I have registered, including a few DS games, don't qualify for coins.

It was in November or December. I don't really remember though. And I don't have any coins.

mid-December. The launch was in typical Nintendo online style: nothing worked, it was full of glitches, and they had to pull out a few times to fix it.

I have 570 coins. Just need one more qualifyable game to get platinum status. Whatever that does.

Is it bad that I went into Gamestop today with a camera phone and took a picture of a Pin Number of Link's Crossbow Training? Free 50 points. =x

Isn't it like $5 for just the game? >_>

Nope. They'll just assume that the original owner used the points.

3 dollars. I was window shopping though.

Anybody look at the Elite Status thing?

If you got Gold status before June 30, do you not get a special prize? :'(

I've only got 350 right now...
Would have had 550 if this has started before I sold some of my Wii games on Ebay to get my 360....

My cousins have about 40 Ds games though...
Maybe I'll snatch some of their certificates next time I see them...

I have 610 coins. Anyone have any idea what platinum status means?

Gold and Platinum peeps get a bonus gift from Nintendo in June/July when the Club Nintendo Year ends. I'm guessing that Platinum gets Gold's gift plus something extra.

I wish I could say I'm surprised how few people read anything, it is all explained on the site
