Post by: UncleBob on June 30, 2013, 01:58:32 AM
Just in case you're not platinum yet and you care, today is the last day to do it.

Don't forget to mention the bonus coins on VC purchases.

Edit:

Or maybe not? (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=42066.msg800263#msg800263)

It took all of my 2009 - 2012 purchases to make platinum last year...

mine is not nearly as shameful as yours...

I'm averaging 650 coins in my account.

You are averaging 1,420 coins in yours.
How did you amass so many this year?

A lot of double dips, saving from 2012 to try and beat UncleBob to Platinum (unsuccessfully, as I recall), and abusing the eShop for fun and profit.

True story: I have 0 coins right now.

I'd post mine, but I'm scared to be the only guy with a gold status on their club Nintendo. :(

Plus 1350 worth of coins waiting for me to take the surveys and 13 unregistered 3DS titles. :D

Oh, and I want to upgrade SMB2 today on the Wii U VC for the extra bonus coins. :D

I've never been in the position to be scrambling at the end of the CN year. I usually have Platinum wrapped up by the end of the calendar year.

Wow, thanks for this thread. I just realized I've never even registered my 3DS (aside from the Ambassador Program)...or even made a Club Nintendo account.

How the hell do I register Super Luigi U?

If you got it digitally you needed to have your Wii U linked up and it just shows up.
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 30, 2013, 04:00:49 PM
I just linked the Wii U...guess it just takes a while.
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 30, 2013, 04:26:17 PM
So I'm probably not gonna be able to hit platinum status today, but I will still have all of my coins tomorrow right? I'm at 430, waiting on Super Luigi U, Nintendo Land, and Yoshi to come through with some more coins (another 130 I believe). I have a DSi to register but I'd have to update it...and I...don't want to do that.
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: UncleBob on June 30, 2013, 04:31:36 PM
I'm not sure you'll get coins for games you purchased before you linked your system?
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 30, 2013, 04:33:31 PM
I registered the Wii U then bought Luigi and Yoshi, so I should be covered there. Nintendo Land came with it obviously,  they said I'd get 50 points but not for a week or something.
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: UncleBob on June 30, 2013, 04:38:50 PM
I thought you said you *just* linked the Wii U?
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 30, 2013, 04:48:23 PM
I did...but before I bought Luigi U...guess I wasn't specific.

Ah, okay. :D
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: BranDonk Kong on June 30, 2013, 05:08:48 PM
But...still don't see anywhere to take a survey or anything on club.nintendo.com

The link stuff isn't instant its when they feel like it.

I started late on Club Nintendo. :P Definitely nowhere near some of you guys, but I hold my own now. I've already got several games in waiting to add once this CN year ends.

I didn't even know Nintendo made enough products to get that many coins... O_o

Since I mostly buy games on sale for various reasons, I never know how many Nintendo games I'll get in one year, so I save all my registrations and focus on just reaching platinum each year. 2012 has a bunch more coins because that's when they changed the coin values for a lot of games, and so I entered in all the ones that were going to drop in value. I've got enough for a few more years at least, and then I'll have to start buying stuff new again...

UncleBoB is the 1% of Club Nintendo. *grumbles* Filthy rich bastard.

or even made a Club Nintendo account.

Trying to find a different thread, found this one instead.  I giggled...
600 is fine for most people, that is 9 first party Wii games (counting post-play surveys) per year or 15 DS games. Really hardcore games will reach that, but the average gamer will not necessarily reach it easily.  The fact that the program just started may be a factor too as you are registering all of your past games. I doubt this will be as big of a problem next year.

Yeah, five years later and I'm still pacing out my surveys and registrations...

2013 Elite Status: Gold (470 coins)
2012 Elite Status: Platinum (670 coins)
2011 Elite Status: Did Not Qualify (50 coins)
2010 Elite Status: Platinum (670 coins)
2009 Elite Status: Did Not Qualify (0 coins)

Woops. I guess I could have not registered some of that stuff and saved it for next year.

Nintendo should give out a bonus for those who got Elite stats all five years, as an anniversary gift to us all. :D

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Okay, just finished up the last of my 720 coins worth of surveys to start this Club Nintendo year off.  The counter is still messed up, so as with last year, I'm showing that I still need 300 coins to gold, but it's showing that I've done enough surveys this year to get my Day One Platinum status. :D
Title: Re: PSA: Club Nintendo Year Ends Today
Post by: Shaymin on July 01, 2013, 06:01:11 AM
I'm clearing the backlog a little later on once the counter isn't messed up. The new download games should be up as well.
