Shiny new Reward available from Club Nintendo

by JC Fletcher { Feb 24th 2009 at 4:00PM }

The North American Club Nintendo rewards shop has updated with a new item! You're no longer limited to the choice between one DS game you can't afford and a variety of card cases -- now Nintendo has a card case you can't afford.

For 700 hard-earned Coins, you can get a Club Nintendo-exclusive silver DS card case, designed to hold 6 game cards (it would take 23 DS game purchases to acquire 700 Coins). The case comes with an aluminum stylus, which is at least a little awesome.

By the way, if you haven't signed in for a while, check it out -- we had a bunch of new Post-Play Surveys waiting for us, in some cases for games we bought years ago.

I didn't think they'd be adding new items so soon. I kind of wish I hadn't traded in 600 coins now. :P

Me neither... and only 6 cards? I'll take the 9 cards of my SMB case, thank you.

Roto13 @ Feb 24th 2009 4:34PM

That's exactly what I ordered. :P

I'm kinda disappointed with the way they rolled it out. I felt they should've offered you coins for any Wii games; ie, I didn't get any for ExciteTruck. I also didn't get any coins for VC or WiiWare purchases.

I'm not sore about it, they didn't have to do Club Nintendo in America at all, just would've been nice :) I like the looks of the mushroom DS game case.

"I also didn't get any coins for VC or WiiWare purchases."

You get post play surveys a month after you buy a Virtual Console or WiiWare game. As far as I know, it applies to any VC or WiiWare game released in December or later. Also, a few VC/WiiWare games released before then have post play surveys.

I have like 6 post-play surveys that won't show up when I try to take them... 8[

Roto13 @ Feb 25th 2009 12:59AM

Yeah, I have two like that. I emailed Nintendo and they said it was a known issue. Not fixed yet, though. :P

Markez @ Feb 25th 2009 1:18AM

Yeah, I'd purchased them all prior to that. Maybe by the time I've accumulated enough points off newer purchases there will be a groovy new release or two on Club Nintendo.

I have 830 coins I'm currently sitting on. With 18 post play surveys left to do as well(whats that, another 180 coins?). The case is nice but I don't think I'm gonna bite just yet. Wonder what the 'end of the year' prize is gonna be though for reaching platinum status. I'd hate to get something with my coins only to have that be what they give as a Platinum status prize because they have too much of it in stock.

Donald @ Feb 24th 2009 7:49PM

You can cash in your points and retain your status. I'm hoping to hit 800 before June so I can grab the Game and Watch Collection and they say I'll be Platinum either way.

SiK99 @ Feb 24th 2009 8:46PM

Yeah, I know I'll stay at platinum status even if I use coins but I already have the game & watch collection and the black ds game card/stylus set. Nothing else interests me enough at this point to spend 500+ coins on. If I get down to the deadline and have to use them up I will choose whats best at that point but until then, I'll keep my coins.

They don't count Nintendo DS consoles?! That sucks...

Jenny Lee @ Feb 24th 2009 7:32PM

Pft!! I could make a case better than that! I shall be saving me coins thanks.

Just because they call it club nintendo, like overseas, it doesn't mean its the same thing. >(

Uhg. Another goddamn DS related prize. Judging by the available goods, I am the only Club Nintendo member who doesn't own a DS. Yes, I know there is that one Wii related prize, aka the ugliest controller holder in the history video games, but other than that, it's still all DS stuff and cards. Come on Ninty, give your Wii owners some sexy presents, too!
