How many times have you seen incredible Nintendo swag and goodies on the internet, only to find that they're Japanese Club Nintendo-only items. The question always comes up: Why don't we have a Club Nintendo? Well, we do now!
Details were scarce at the Nintendo Media Summit this morning, but we do know that we're finally getting the chance to join the club, Nintendo's form of a customer loyalty award system. Other than the statement that Club Nintendo North America debuts "this holiday season," Big N gives us nothing else go to on.
For now, check out the Do-Wantiness of the Japanese Club Nintendo items and daydream about how you'll spend your points. Hopefully we'll get the same type of items, including exclusive games.
Dale North is Destructoid's Editor-In-Chief, a founding editor, and specialist in Japanese gaming. An accomplished musician, Dale was reporting from Japan during the earthquakes of 2011.

Yes.
Time to start buying games again.
I really hope they consider games already registered when they give out rewards. I have every Nintendo system and 20 or 30 games (50-60 if you count VC games) registered to my damn account and all I have to show for it is Zelda: Master's Quest and the Zelda: Collector's Edition.
Oh, and all those games I registered, but who cares about those?
Well I hope Club Nintendo is actually decent.
