 Late last month, Nintendo of Australia announced that they were bringing the Club Nintendo program, found in both Japanese and European markets, to the Australian market.      

Alongside the release of Mario Kart Wii, Club Nintendo launched. Players were able to take the code found in the game case and register it on the Club Nintendo website in exchange for star points. Recently, Wii Fit also saw release in Australia adding, yet another title that could be registered for Star Points.    

Star Points can be redeemed for Nintendo goodies from the Stars Catalogue, which is only available to Club Nintendo members. Currently the only market without Club Nintendo is the American market.    

Australian gamers who own either Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii can register their games now at the Club Nintendo website.    

GET INTO CLUB NINTENDO WITH MARIO KART Wii    

Australia, 24 April, 2008 -    

Reward yourself with Club Nintendo, now you can turn your Nintendo games into Star points with Nintendo's new loyalty program. Available now, Club Nintendo allows you to earn and swap Star points for exclusive Nintendo merchandise not available anywhere else. The first game that allows you to register for Club Nintendo is Mario Kart™ Wii.    

Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit™ and future participating products will come with a unique PIN code which allows you to register that you have purchased a particular game, and that's when Nintendo rewards you. Simply visit www.club-nintendo.com to input your unique code and join Club Nintendo where you will receive Star points credited to your membership account. Use your Star points to redeem Nintendo goodies from the Stars catalogue, which is only available to Club Nintendo members.    

The Stars catalogue is not yet available to browse, however you can still register your product/s and reserve your Star points. Nintendo will email you once the full Club Nintendo website is up and running, so you can then redeem your Star points on premium items from the Stars catalogue, and that's when the fun begins!

Well at least you can do something with the stars. Registering games in MyNintendo is literally worthless. Well not for Nintendo because they get some great figures to work with. I guess I want to see the Japanese Club Nintendo start up worldwide. They get hooked up with AWESOME stuff, and the rest of the world gets the shaft.

I completely stopped registering games with MyNintendo after the 3 free issues of Nintendo Power thing. Like Mr. Jack said, after the 3 free issues there was absolutely no reason to keep registering these damn games. The most you can get is the opportunity to fill out a survey about a game you registered.
