You have until the 31st to reach platinum status for this year correct? I won't be there until December 25th, but I'll open stuff early if the cut off date is before that
That reminds me, I have a few games I can register soon. I like this idea. Free games for buying games and I don't even need a silly subscription to get them for free or for a discount.
Good on Nintnedo. Lots of good moves these last two weeks.

Perfect. See? making your club nintendo account tied to all of Nintendo's devices is a good idea. They definitely should do it with the Wii U.
Hmm, if I register my Skyward Sword game, that gives me just enough points to get one of these games! Sweeeet.
That's pretty awesome. Now they just need to start offering soundtracks. I've been sitting on 1100 coins for a long while. I'm sure this will make me even more indecisive though.
@KyMack23- i'm pretty sure you have until June to get to platinum status. It's not done by the calendar year.
holmes got it spot on. its by the end june to get in for the rewards. rewards where shipped already though for 2011 and statuses and points are gone. i got a nice lil pin set this year.
Yesssss!!! Platinum-ed again this year, and I can't wait to spend mah coins - I've been waiting for digital content.
You can sort of do this in Europe right now, but it's complicated and expensive as fuck(I actually spent 4000 points on Paper Mario last week...), so I hope we get it to be a little more practical than how it is now.

It depends on the game. If it's distributed or published by Nintendo, chances are that yes.
For example, the Ace Attorney Games, Ghost Trick, Xenoblade, and even Monster Hunter Tri can be registered. But, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, for instance, can't.

This is awesome. I seriously have no interest in any of the club rewards they have now. I got the hanafuda cards for the novelty (and my points were expiring) but this is great. Get GAMES for playing games? Who woulda thunk it?
This is great news, what an awesome idea.
@mr 3man That might get you to join up?....its free dude, youre only screwing yourself over if you buy Nintendo games and never register them. The points vary by game and theres a post-game survey thats about 5 to 10 coins as well.

Usually 10 points for a downloadable title; ~50 points for a retail game. You get 10 points for a post game survey a few days later, and 10 more points if you indicate you "plan" on purchasing any games before their release date, then register it. So technically you can get around 70 points for a $50 retail title, which isn't bad.

I really want one of the posters, but I would get games in a blink if I find something great. Not that I wouldn't still get them via Wii points though.
Just signed up today, and I can already get 480 coins from mine and my sister's DSis and 3DS. Plus, if I can still register all my old Nintendo-developed DS and Wii games, I'll be swimming in virtual coins.
What a love!

This is great. In the age of downloadable games, this is how customer rewards should be done. I've bought a LOT of Nintendo games over the years and I stopped registering them a long time ago because some screensavers and stickers and whatnot just weren't worth my time. But being able to download VC games? Hell yes. Fortunately they're offering things I would want anyway (Mario Kart and Mario vs. Donkey Kong), but in the future, it'd be nice if we just got Nintendo Points to spend on whatever we want from the shop.
The removing thing sounds a bit weird, otherwise this is pretty cool, I have a shit ton of coins and I might pick up mario kart considering I lost that cart a long time ago.
Yeeeeeessssss. Rather than stuff like postcards that I'll never use, getting actual games with my coins would be fantastic.
I'm really excited about this, finally some stuff to spend my coins on. That their is going to be new games every month is even better. Nintendo's eShop plan went from crappy to fantastic literally over night. That update fixed most of the issues, and free games are always good.
I feel like I'm in bizarro land here. Everyone seems to think this is great, but I think it's, more or less, useless. Granted, options are always a good thing, but I much prefer things that you can only get at Club Nintendo. The games they're offering are games I can just buy for a few bucks anyway.
Also, why are people sitting on massive amounts of coins when there are Game & Watches to be had? I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS.

@smurfee mcgee: I agree I rather have something exclusive of Nintendo Club, but the problem is most of the cooler stuff I'd love to have doesn't come from the US branch (at least the one I use), but the Japanese one.
@Noir Trillby
Well, first of all, I don't know if it's done the same way it's done here in Spain... but you have to load a crapload of stars into your account (1000 points take 4000 stars, for example). Then, you go to the Stars Catalogue, you choose a points card, and there, you link your Club Nintendo account to your Wii. And there you go.
It's the only way I know, and I don't know about 3DS since I don't own one. It's a very complicated way and you have to burn a lot of stars in games, so I don't think it's worth it.

Up until I heard the "removed and.." yeah. It sounded alright. Now I'm just thinking of how Nintendo fumbles things so hard. Can't they get a damn thing right?
I agree that the fact that they will be removing games periodically is a bad move. That being said I'll totally be getting Super Mario Kart and possibly Xevious 3D. This is going to make saving up for that Game and watch even harder! Good thing I already got the two Game and Watch collections for the DS! (totally worth it by the way!)
This is a good thing, however its sort of confusing too.
We have 2 3DS' registered on my account and that accounts set to be a family account, so we could pool our resources for more Nintendo stuff. So what does that mean exactly for accounts like that? We all technically put in the money to get the coins to get these games, does that mean we're all going to get the games, or the main account holder? Because that'd be a pretty fucked up system if the rest of the people contributing miss out on those games too.
Can you guys check up on that maybe? Cause that'd be a big huge pisser for families.
@Jonathan Holmes
I believe it goes by fiscal year+ 2 extra months, which makes it end in June. I also believe -at least this year- we were told we needed to pick our Platinum/Gold prizes by the second week in July. then you have to wait and wait. In fact, I just got my pinset on Friday and had done everything as soon as I as contacted about it. Thats just my experience though, I'm sure it varies.

Just had too spend my pints because they were going to expire on some stupid wii mote holder! FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
This was a great article to say the least. I really do think that this was a great and informative article to read.
