Topic: Club Nintendo question

[MisterE13]

Recently, I made my first actual purchase on the eShop (Super Mario Land 2 on sale FTW ) and havent gotten any purchase coins/survey options for it yet.  Should I have?  I had originally had problems getting my free downloads to register, but a strongly worded (OK not really ) email fixed that.  Since then, I've gotten coins and surveys from a few more free downloads and they all appeared on my list of products (as did SML2).  Any tips?

When did you download the game? It usually takes about a week before they show up for me.

Couple of days later the survey option appears. I suppose a real part question was whether I was supposed to get coins just for downloading it or if I needed to wait for the survey. Looking like the answer is no and I'm guessing it would be like that for all Virtual Console?

Yeah, a quick look at my Club Nintendo history suggests that you're right: VC downloads seem to generally only count for the 10 coins if you do the post-play survey that appears a couple days after you get them. I suspect it's like this with all WiiWare and 3DS Download software too, you only get coins for doing their post-play surveys. Getting coins for just the purchase itself appears to only count for retail boxed games, or possibly for the digital versions of those same retail boxed games.
