Club Nintendo Goes Live

Posted by Soulskill on from the who-doesn't-love-proprietary-currency dept.

AKAImBatman writes "Nintendo has launched their new North American Club Nintendo service that allows customers to earn 'coins' for purchasing Nintendo products. Coins can then be redeemed for items like exclusive DS games, playing cards, Wii Remote holders, DS cases, and other Nintendo branded items. Points are earned by registering Wii games (50 points), DS games (30 points), or by purchasing Wii Shop items (10 points) after your Wii Shop account has been linked to your Club Nintendo account. Users may link their account under the 'Settings' area of the Wii Shop channel. Prices range from 300 coins for a Wii Remote holder to 800 coins for the Game & Watch Collection for the Nintendo DS."

    First post on a story you submitted yourself.

    Congratulation! The obsessive-refresh-click is strong in this one.

    There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.

    Nintendo, Link, it's all the same to me.

    If I get 100 coins, do I get another chance at life?
