Club Nintendo

Big award is a messenger bag!

Also tons of games are up including some retail games. Anything catch your eye? I'm leaning on stocking up on games I would rather have digitally. Although that bag is sweet.

Gosh darn it site is down for maintenance! I wanted to see what was there.

That messenger bag is pretty sweet. Will have to see what else there is before I splurge and get that.

EDIT: Nevermind, must be some traffic on there! Finally got in.

Here are some of the digital titles offered. I'm really leaning towards Wonderful 101, Golden Sun, and Kid Icarus. That puzzle is cool, and so is the messenger bag and the 3DS XL LoZ pouch looks nice, but I'm thinking of going with the games over the physical stuff. :S I dunno. Guess I have some time, and I'm still planning to pick up Pokémon, Hyrule Warriors, and Captain Toad soon so I'll get some more coins for all that yet.

Wii U:

WONDERFUL 101 (Wii U) 600cns

NES Remix (Wii U) 300cns

Game and Wario (Wii U) 600cns

Wii Party U (Wii U) 850cns

EARTHBOUND (SNES) 250cns

Yoshi's Island (GBA) 200cns

Golden Sun (GBA) 200cns

Super Mario Bros 3 (NES) 200cns

Wii:

Doc Loius Punchout (Past Exclusive prize for GOLD) (Wii) 250cns

MARIO PARTY 2 (N64) 250cns

LoZ: MAJORAS MASK (N64) 250cns

Star Fox 64 (N64) 250cns

F-Zero X (N64) 250cns

Paper Mario (N64) 250cns

Mario Kart 64 (N64) 250cns

Super Smash Bros (N64) 250cns

LoZ: A Link to the Past (SNES) 250cns

3DS:

STAR FOX 64 3D (3DS) 700 cns

KID ICARUS : UPRISING (3DS) 700cns

SUPER MARIO 3D LAND (3DS) 600cns

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS) 600cns

HarmoKnight (3DS) 300cns

LoZ: Link's Awakening (GBC) 200cns

I'm thinking the same thing. The messenger bag looks great but I would end up just having it on a wall or something. The games I'll play the crap out of. I haven't played Golden Sun before. I might go Earthbound, Golden Sun, and Majora's Mask (N64) and say the hell with waiting on a remaster.

I've never cashed in a single coin and I buy almost all Nintendo 3ds and wiiu games. I need to register what I haven't registered. It is nice they included so many vc games as the physical products will likely sell out.

I never cashed in a single coin because the Belgian star catalogue never had anything interesting.

Now the Mario Kart 8 T-shirt looks kinda interesting, turns out they don't have size XL anymore.

Can't say I'm sad this system is going away, was never any use to me anyway :/

I'm definitely getting WW101. I'm still deciding on what to spend the remaining 700 coins on. I'll probably exclusively aim for Wii U stuff to simultaneously build up DDP points.

The time to cash in DDP points has expired I thought.

I'll probably give it away and make someone else happy with it.

It's not like the Belgian store doesn't have anything... but yeah some games like in the US store would be nice. It's actually years that I'm collecting these stars and never use them on anything xD

@SolidGame_basic: If you're getting the "New 3DS" then it won't come with any points. Anything released after January 20th won't have a code attached.

For the good stuff, you really need a lot of stars. Not that it matters now with them getting rid off it. At least I got something out of it :p

The messenger bag was tempting, I have more than enough points for it. And I definitely need one, I'm always carrying too much around with my sudoku puzzle books, whatever book I'm reading, my 3DS, whatever else. But, for that I can just get any messenger bag, maybe I can brand it with some geek chic iron on patches.

Anyhow, considering they have Kid Icarus Uprising for 700 coins, New Super Mario Bros 2 for 600 coins, I'm leaning more toward that, especially since Kid Icarus Uprising is impossible to find in physical retail, the eShop price is still high too, and here I can get that and NSMB2 with my Club Nintendo coins.

I'll also have enough points left over for Earthbound, or maybe get the GBA and SNES F-Zero games for 200 coins each. Best case scenario though, in the past redeeming games form Club Nintendo still resulted in Club Nintendo coins. If that's still the case, it should bump me up to enough coins to get both Earthbound and F-Zero SNES on Wii U, on top of getting Kid Icarus Uprising and NSMB2. With that, I should have a satisfactory closure with the end of the Club Nintendo program.

It kept bombing out on me every time I clicked "order now". Finally, it worked.

If that messenger bag had Midna on it in both her forms, it'd be worth it but meh it's just Majora.

I'd might consider getting either F-Zero X, Earthbound, or Star Fox 3D. I do have plenty of codes I haven't used for my games though so who knows, I'll probably end up getting all these games I listed.

I went to one site and it said that the site is flooded with people trying to turn in their game codes and it pretty much ground the site to a halt. I managed to get in there and grab Earthbound, but it went down for me again shortly after. Your best bet would be to keep checking and hope you get in.

I got the messenger bag and Zelda pouch. I like physical stuff from CN since you can't really get it anywhere else. I can always buy digital or physical games if I really wanted them.

dang, guess there's no need to rush since I'm using my coins for games, I imagine people wanting physical items probably need to claim them before they're gone, guess I'll have to wait for the traffic to clear

I got in and got my games around 6 am my time. I had zero issues. It sounds crazy to say it but your best bet would be to try it in the middle of the night.

Got the bag and the jigsaw puzzle since I already have all the games I want. Plus I figure these will be the last physical rewards for a while, maybe ever. We'll see what the new loyalty program brings.

Because you posted, I decided to check again.

Not me, it's just stuck in some slow loading cycle...I think I just lost a code a few hours ago.

When I try, I got the:

Whoops!

The info you're looking for can't be found. You might want to try searching again, going back to the homepage , or exploring one of the pages below:

I'm sure it will get better eventually.

EDIT: After some extreme F5ing, I got through for one game. I'm going to wait for more stability to put in my other 20 codes so I don't have to worry. The surveys weren't loading up, but I persevered.

Well, you have bad luck. I got through two games without interruption.

20 codes?! Damn, you have some coins.

I downloaded EarthBound, F-Zero X, Super Punch-Out!!, and Golden Sun.

EDIT: After some extreme F5ing, I got through for one game. I'm going to wait for more stability to put in my other 20 codes so I don't have to worry. The surveys weren't loading up, but I persevered.

Well, you have bad luck. I got through two games without interruption.

20 codes?! Damn, you have some coins.

I downloaded EarthBound, F-Zero X, Super Punch-Out!!, and Golden Sun.

A bit more than 20 actually, lol...I just let these things sit since I was already Platinum. I guess it's time to let all hell break lose when this site is working better for me.

@SolidTy: Check your email, they also email you the code, so you should have it there.

@SolidTy: Ah well. Hopefully soon.

In other news, I got through.
