Title: Club Nintendo to be discontinued

It's interesting that they'll be using a differently loyalty program, though.

Well... Hopefully the new loyalty program will  be even better!
It's kind of a shame to see Club Nintendo go, but at least we will be getting Flipnote 3d in the near future~

Wow a good selection of choices... is Wonderful 101 even good?

Oh my gosh. Sooooo many games to choose from!!
I'm thinking of working towards Wonderful 101, and F-zero x as a backup plan.
...but part of me wants to get the Posters, too! So many to choose from...

A lot of members are trying to access the site at once, so it's expected. Anyway, there's some 3DS Virtual Console games that are going for that much.

Club Nintendo was a program where you could register Nintendo consoles/handhelds and games, and by completing surveys you earn Coins which can be traded in for rewards; they range from physical merchandise (like posters) to downloadable games (only for 3DS, Wii U, and Wii owners as of now). Since the program is closing (well.. being replaced) this year, they're offering a huge selection of rewards compared to the usual (which was like... 10x or so less).

I'm interested in this now. Can't wait to see what'll replace this.

From what I remember reading (mind you, nothing is set in stone yet), they'll be using a system where if you buy/register more things, you'll get more discounts. As to what the discounts will apply to, I'm presuming eShop stuff (which makes the most sense), but if other things will be added to that system, that's better news for us.

EDIT: Does anyone have a code I can use (preferably a console game they bought last year or even further back)? If so, please PM me. I'm 50 Coins away from getting something...

I'd help you, if I knew how.
I haven't registered anything on the club. Is there something there you could use?

Sent a PM.

EDIT: Sorry Sunshine Smash, but thanks for trying anyway >.<

EDIT 2: Well... this is strange... Apparently any games you get from Club Nintendo's catalog are still eligible, so you can still take the surveys (registration and post-play) and get more Coins. I guess I'll have enough after all.

If you don't get what I'm talking about, refer to the first post of this thread.

EDIT 3: Flipnote Studio 3D is now available for CN users. Check your "To Do" list after logging in to your account.
