Nintendo's Japanese games-for-goods redemption program has stocked up with some new swag.
Good news for people who happen to live in Japan: there are more goodies to spend your Club Nintendo points on.
If you’re unfamiliar with Club Nintendo, there are cards packaged in every Nintendo-published game that include a long number to input into the Club Nintendo website. Unlike the North American counterpart, you can actually use these points to redeem them for real, Nintendo branded goods.
This update has the usual mixture of useful and crazy items:
- At the top, we have “Star Ten Billion", which may sound cool to Japanese people, but for us, it’s just a weird name for a crazy-looking puzzle game. By that, I mean a real, physical, using-your-hands puzzle game. Cost: 650 club points.
- Next on the list is the hilarious-looking “Scream-fighter" (literal translation), which is described as a “Mic-action game". It’s exactly that; you shout commands like “kick!", “punch" and “transform" into the DS, and your little Power Rangers-looking guy does the same action on screen. How does it work in reality? Most people will probably lose their voice and/or lungs before level 2. Cost: 500 club points.
- Next, we have a fancy looking magnetic “Silver Case" to hold your DS games and a stylus. It keeps your games on the fridge as a bonus. Cost: 500 club points
- Next is another case for DS games and a colorful DS “pouch", Cost: 350 and 250 club points respectively. Why not just buy these in the shops?
- Last of all, we have the only Wii-related thing on here, a “Wii Remote Control and Nunchuk stand". Do you have your Wii Remotes and Nunchuks wrapped dangerously around your TV cabinet? Well not any more! At only 150 club points, it’s a unique, useful item not available in the shops.
That’s all for this update, be sure to check out the lineup of goods at the Club Nintendo page.
