Topic: Club Nintendo to Be Discontinued

[ShyGuy]

Bub wrote a rap about it. Like to hear it? Here it goes



Go fanboy, got yo game code,
We gonna party like you gotta game code,
Take a survey like you gotta game code,
And we don't give a fire-flower, we don't want your game code!

Nintendo in da club, Bobble full of Bub
look Mario, got mushroom if you into takin' dr***
I'm into Xenoblade X, not into Hotel o' Love,
900 club points for a hug, if your into getting snubbed

So now I feel like a bloody idiot for skipping the Luigi's Mansion statue. I had never played the game and foolishly thought it signaled the start of a new trend. Now I have a couple thousand points and absolutely nothing to spend them on. Guess I will get another poster tube to add to the collection in the closet.

I have to wonder why they feel they need to make a whole new program rather than just improve Club Nintendo.

At this point, the patient was pretty much terminal. The DDP proved they could automate this service on an NNID basis, fraud was all over the place, and the damn site buckled if you looked at it wrong.

I think it's because Nintendo is trying to move people away from the Club Nintendo account itself. Just using the Nintendo Network ID renders Club Nintendo redundant and extraneous (if that's the direction Nintendo is going).

In any case, I don't expect the new rewards program to be, just simplified. I think it will be mostly, if not entirely digital which is fine by me. I don't have a lot of Virtual Console games, and if it extends to eShop titles, well, I don't have a lot of those either.

EDIT:

In any case, I don't expect the new rewards program to be (better), just simplified.

I'm willing to bet the next program will simply be called "Nintendo Network Rewards"

I'm not shaken up over this, the rewards sucked every game they ever offered I either already had or it was on 3DS only. I did cash in all my coins to get that NES Remix 2 T-Shirt so I am good now.

[Mop it up]

I also wonder why they're ending all the ways to earn coins on March 31st instead of waiting for the usual year-end date of June 30th. I realised that March 31st is also when their fiscal year ends; could they be planning to launch the new program in April?
