Club Nintendo Australia -"DID SOMEBODY SAY NOTEBOOKS?!" "No."

[Starscream]

Still only five items to redeem.

Don't go to Club Nintendo EU, US or Japan sites. It will only make you cry.

Club Nintendo Australia website (http://club.nintendo.com.au)

[fearofthesky]

^I won't. I'm all cried out lately...forums being down and Dockers getting thumped...

[/backslash]

Had a friend asking me "why don't you get this? or this" and linked me to the US site, I had to remind her that Australia only has 5 items :( And crappy/expensive items at that

[incompatible with life]

Not to mention what platinum club members can get (http://kotaku.com/5314119/check-out-these-club-nintendo-member-platinum-and-gold-member-rewards).

Btw, how long do points last for?

[/backslash]

Think the points last forever which is good because it'll take me forever before I can get anything

[McChimp]

Only thing of interest I can afford is the Mario 'face towels', and that was after registering, what, 6 or 7 games? UGH! I spent 3/4 of an hour typing in codes and doing those ******ing surveys! C'MON!

Nothing worse than having your face rubbed in it :p

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Someone said in the last thread they actually only last for like a year or two, so I won't be registering anymore of my codes until there's actually something I want.

On the points page it also lists how many points are going to expire at the end of the month.

Does. Not. Compute.

I'm trying to login to their website but obviously the password is at random and I've deleted the email for it. So I request a resetted password, that was 3 hours ago and still nothing. That's Club Ninteno AU for you

edit: Logged in, I have 1100 points which means I can either get a Wii remote stand (which looks more like a toothbrush holder) which I don't need since I don't have a Wii or I can get nothing. Fantastic.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

You should wait for the Wii motion + holder.

[/backslash]

Or better yet, the wrist strap holder

[banjoeskimo]

I hit platinum status with my American Club Nintendo account. Not being a fan of Punch Out!, I went with the plush Mario Hat as my gift.

My biggest complaint with the Club Nintendo store is that I don't have enough coins to buy the shit I really want, and there's not enough stuff coming out for the Wii anytime soon that I actually want so that I can reach my 800 coins for the Hanadufa Cards.

[incompatible with life]

I like the fact that on the survey they get you to do when redeeming points, I put "was on sale" every single time when I was asked why I bought a particular game/system.

At 1800 points I'm wondering whether to just grab whatever I can an go for the stylus/case pack, or wait until I hit 2500 for the game and watch pack (which to be honest I'm not really going to play all that much). Or there's always option C - hold out even further for even better goodies.

I have about 850 points. I actually do want that controller stand. They don't charge you for postage do they?

[Mr. Nick]

I have about 850 points. I actually do want that controller stand. They don't charge you for postage do they?

I got my remote holder just a few days ago, simply because i was sick of sitting on my points waiting for something good to come out.
To be honest its pritty rediculous but still looks good sitting next to my wii i suppose.
To answer your question no you dont have to pay for postage.

[Adios]

http://i348.photobucket.com/albums/q321/fishfishmonkeyhat/Temp/dis.png

Glad to see that people are putting in nasty comments with these questions :p . I do it all the time.

[Nic Xtreme]

As an alternative to the Club Nintendo Australia holder, if you'd rather spend money, you can buy Wiimote Holders from Play-Asia! In White (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-53jx-71-10v-49-en-15-wii+remote+pocket-84-j-70-2xkj.html), Black (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-53jx-71-10v-77-1-49-en-15-wii+remote+pocket-84-j-70-2xkk.html), or Blue (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-53jx-71-10v-77-2-49-en-15-wii+remote+pocket-84-j-70-2xkl.html). The Monster Hunter G (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-53jx-71-10v-77-3-49-en-15-wii+remote+pocket-84-j-70-3avk.html) one I bought in the past is sold out though :(

[Pai Mel]

Or you can craft one out of thin MDF, then print some nice artwork on inkjet canvas and glue to the sides.

[RunningMild]

Good thing you can buy the foreign CN stuff off eBay. That's how I got my plush Mario hat. :p

I can't believe there's still only 5 items on there. Are they ever going to update it?

Blake gave me a good idea though- I wonder if I can just buy up all the Wii and DS stuff I can find from EB, and then return it in 7 days after registering the points. It's not like there's enough Nintendo games coming out that I actually want to buy for keeps. :rolleyes:

EDIT: All games distributed or published by Nintendo Australia after Mario Kart Wii... anyone got a list?

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I'll look it up once I have a reason to.

[RunningMild]

Stupid question, but will Club Nintendo points from an American game work with an Australian account?

Well it doesn't work with Spirit Tracks which I got from the US...

I bought Professor Layton a few months back and got one of the codes. Don't think I will use it after looking at what's on offer, would anyone like it?

[Starscream]

Bumping this thread makes me sad.

[RunningMild]

Thanks for that VanAce. Now I've got 950 stars, so 1550 from the G&W Collection. :(

Wish I could have registered NSMB Wii without voiding the 7 day return policy...

[Super Sleuth]

I've got 2100 star points....you really need to buy a LOT of shit to get anything.

Anyway, the reason for my post is I have free star points for anyone who's interested....in MS Paint fun. What you need to draw your best 'Tobias Funke' (from Arrested Development...c'mon!) using only Paint. Here is a picture for reference.

http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1800/tobiasfunketwitter.jpg

Currently I've got two codes that I can't redeem as I've already registered the game associated the codes in question. (I don't know what games the codes are from...) So the two best entries will get a code each.

And if anybody is wondering why I have multiple codes....I run 2 video stores and I have multiple copies of games for rent. So there you go. Also, I have 9 copies of NSMB for rent at work, so I should theoretically have 9 more codes in my possession by Monday night, when I get home.

Ok, get painting!

I've made a thread for this now...so post entries here! (http://www.hyper.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=19967)

[Pai Mel]

Have you tried redeeming the codes anyway even if they are from the same game?

[Super Sleuth]

Pai Mel is disqualified.

[RunningMild]

Is there anyone here with a US account? If so, PM me for my Spirit Tracks code.

[AranchineD]

Who wants an Aus Spirit Tracks code that we can listen to, sing to and play games to?

[Jickle]

My copy of Game and Watch Collection arrived today. A combination of legitimate purchases, review copies and some points from good ol' Super Sleuth helped me reach the ridiculously high number of points required. Yay!

[Super Sleuth]

Is it underwhelming?

[Jickle]

Is it underwhelming?

Extremely! I probably shouldn't have taken off the wrapping, some insane collector would have paid for it. Aw well, it's nice to have something rare. Maybe.

[Super Sleuth]

Yeah, I've got enough points for it...but I essentially don't want the thing on my shelf. I never enjoyed G&W games back in the day, so I doubt I'll dig it now.

[Jickle]

The back and front covers are quite nice. So there's that!

Want the SNES pad. Or at least release the Classic Pro here. ****-knuckles.

I just went over the 2500 points threshold. Anyone hold any hope for more stuff to come out? I have hope, but not realistic hope...

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I hope you didn't actually enter those points into their site, because they've got a backlog of crap to get rid of before they put anything decent up.

And by then your points will have expired.

How long do points last before they expire?

[Stevorooni]

I have 900 points expiring at the end of Feb after entering in Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii back when I got all caught up in all the commotion and didn't know they expired.

Do you think it's worth entering in another points card or whatever to get a remote stand or face towel?

[Starscream]

Don't you have (get some off friends/family) enough points (don't know what you need) to get the Game & Watch collection.

[Stevorooni]

I'm not sure, I might have another 3 or 4 cards lying around somewhere but can't remember how much they're worth. Will have to check when I get home.

EDIT

That Game and Watch thing looks stupid and not worth the extra points. I still have an original Donkey Kong Game & Watch dammit!

I dunno; I guess they log onto the USA or Japan site.

Don't know; I don't have a Nintendo anything.

It's like Nintendo Australia just copy and pasted the Europe site but could only be bothered highlighting 5 things before they transferred it across.

I hear Nintendo use one of them Mario pen cases to carry around all their customers balls.

Seriously, a bunch of five-cents-at-junk-shop horseshit items? They should be embarrassed to put them up.

Seems to be that as long as you keep putting cards up every 12 months they don't expire, but I could be wrong. I've never had an expiry notice come up and I put in Smashbros in March.

Depending on how much image height the 3DS can manage, perhaps Nintenkites?

I want a Mario with a parachute pack. You wrap the parachute around him and chuck in the air, which then unravels and he comes floating down.

Club Nintendo PIN expiry date

Dear Club Nintendo member,

Nintendo Australia would like to advise you that as of July 1 Club Nintendo has introduced a PIN expiry system.

Club Nintendo PIN codes on software will automatically expire 5 years from the original title release date in Australia and New Zealand. Once a PIN code has expired you will not be able to earn Stars from these products.

The first Club Nintendo PIN code due for expiry is Mario Kart Wii, released 24 April 2008. PIN code will expire 23 April 2013.

Please remember that all Stars redeemed must be used within 36 months. Any redeemed stars not used within 36 months will become invalid.

"We ordered 250,000 wiimote holders and haven't sent out a single one!!"

[Pai Mel]

I have one of these Wiimote holders. I love it to bits. You can even fold it flat. Best Wii Points purchase so far.

[Stevorooni]

Hopefully there'll be something worth buying by 2013

^ New items from Club Nintendo Japan.

Did I just see Nintendo's take on a Swastika?

[Johnny360]

Guys,

Can anyone help out.

I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2 from the UK and I've just tried to register my code but it keeps saying that it's expired. WTF?

I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any difference in codes from the UK to AUS as we get the exact same games so I can't understand why it won't work.

There is an expiration date on the card which is 11/12/2013 so I don't know how it is saying that it's expired. If no one can help me out I'll have to ring them up tomorrow and ask. Even though they don't have anything decent on there I'd still like to get something for free! :D

[Pai Mel]

Nah, those codes are for the UK region only. Find a mate in the UK to exchange them for favours or something, heh.

[Johnny360]

Nah, those codes are for the UK region only. Find a mate in the UK to exchange them for favours or something, heh.

Damn it!

So once the game gets shipped to Aus they re-pack them with new codes?

Bastards! :mad:

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Umm, no. While we're both PAL territories, both regions would have their own discs, manuals, covers and inserts.

[Johnny360]

Umm, no. While we're both PAL territories, both regions would have their own discs, manuals, covers and inserts.

Since when? I've always know for them to have the same disc art, Manual and covers most times.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

We have a different rating system. For that alone they need to reprint the above. Unless they go the cheap route and just stick ours over the UK one on the cover.

So yes, the art text will be identical, but, yeah.

[VanAce]

Also I assume the codes wouldn't work as their Club Nintendo is probably way better than ours.

[/backslash]

Please remember that all Stars redeemed must be used within 36 months. Any redeemed stars not used within 36 months will become invalid.
Considering how many points I've got I can barely afford anything and there's still bugger all that's worthwhile buying. This is another slap in the face :(

It was better than when we thought it was twelve months.

So anyway I just cashed in my 2500 points for Game & Watch Gallery.
I'm just waiting for something else of real interest to pop up on the items list now.
I'm scared I'll go soft and buy some playing cards or a face towel next :)

[ireadtabloids]

Actually in retrospect the Game & Watch Collection isn't much of a consolation prize. Only 3 Game & Watch games!
I really hope they add Wii points and DSiWare points to the list of bonuses soon :(

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

People could actually use those but.

The cleanest turd is still the cleanest!

Also still a turd.

[VanAce]

Shame I gave my points away. Oh well I am sure they will be on eBay soon enough.

[Nic Xtreme]

Totally getting a couple of shirts. Awesome!

[Nic Xtreme]

Yes! Got my shirt. Medium better not be a big medium...

Now to enter all of my unclaimed points cards to get another :D

EDIT: Nooooooooooooo I only have 2050 points after adding all of those cards :(

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Buy Wii Music, that's got points and there should be plenty of cheap copies going around.

[Pai Mel]

I don't think you can redeem points from the same game. So if you buy 10 copies of Wii Music you can only redeem the points card from one copy of the game.

[Nic Xtreme]

Super Mario All Stars and Donkey Kong Country Returns will give me the required points :D

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Yes! Got my shirt. Medium better not be a big medium...

Can I get a waist measurement for the medium? I don't want to buy the large and have it look like a circus tent.

I don't think you can redeem points from the same game. So if you buy 10 copies of Wii Music you can only redeem the points card from one copy of the game.

Well yes, but I'm assuming he hasn't bought it yet. Because it's Wii Music.

I don't think you can redeem points from the same game. So if you buy 10 copies of Wii Music you can only redeem the points card from one copy of the game.
What?!? They are all different codes for points. I'm sure you can buy multiple copies of the same game.... :(

(Hell yeah I can get another shirt! I still haven't registered Wii Sports Resort or Metroid: Other M :D I'll wait for it to come so I can try it on and yeah Blake I'll measure it for you)

What?!? They are all different codes for points. I'm sure you can buy multiple copies of the same game.... :(

That's fair! Just make two accounts if it's ever a problem ;)

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Can I get a waist measurement for the medium? I don't want to buy the large and have it look like a circus tent.

GET DA TAPe!

EDIT: BUT YOU SAID YOU GOT YOUR SHIRT!!!?

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I just realised that they only have medium and large shirts, so I cashed in a points card which got me the required points and ordered my shirt.

See you again in 2000 points.

[Jickle]

I would have gotten one of those shirts if I hadn't used all my points on folders and shitty Game and Watch games. :(

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

To be fair, Nintendo wanted you to waste them.

[Nic Xtreme]

I received my shirt in the mail. I've noticed you've ordered yours, Blake, so I don't need to measure it anymore. The design is really vibrant which is great, but it sucks they didn't offer it in small. While it's not huge by any means - it's a fitted medium - it's still a medium. I'm glad I ordered a blue one, as the white ones are even bigger.

As much as I love the design and the quality, I don't think I'll order another as they're a tad big. Good as a round-the-house-not-in-public shirt, though. Make a small one next time Nintendo!

[Pai Mel]

Or you can grow some muscles. Beefcake. Beefcake.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Got my shirt today. I'm about 12 months at the gym away from fitting into it.

[banjoeskimo]

Someone already gave me a code for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story ages ago, and I just got it for Christmas, so... free Club Nintendo code to whoever uses it first! Be sure to post once you've used it so people don't try registering a used code.

[Nic Xtreme]

Totally ordered the Animal Crossing sensu today: http://club.nintendo.com.au/NOE/en_AU/club_nintendo/stars_catalogue_320.html

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

There is truly some terrible shit in that catalog.

[Stevorooni]

Gimme the goddamn Snes classic controller, Nintendo Australia!

That's all I want, I have a bajillion of those card things saved up and I refuse to use them just for the sake of using them, I'd rather they expired than spend them on the shit they have up there now.

[SpearrO]

Oh damn, they expire?!

Those sensu do look lovely though, and it is summer

[Stevorooni]

The points expire sometime after you add them, then to stop you from saving your cards until something decent is on there the cards themselves also expire.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Also all your redeemed items will disintegrate 5 years after purchase.

[Lex]

Well, some asshole used it.

Anyone got a spare code? I need exactly 250 points.

[Nic Xtreme]

Check pep, your PM box is full.

[Lex]

Check pep, your PM box is full.

Champion! Thanks a bunch!

But I just realised games are only 200 stars. Now I need 50 points, and I already did the donkey kong survey :(

Dammit nintendo.

[edit] wooh, found my monster hunter tri code.

[Super Sleuth]

what do you actually want from the catalogue?

[Lex]

Well, the only decent thing there. Mario tshirt.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Don't miss out.

This is your last chance to redeem the Club Nintendo limited edition Super Mario™ 25th Anniversary T-Shirts.

Only available until January 31st 2011, or while stocks last.

Thank god the best thing they've ever had in the catalog is non-permanent!

[Stevorooni]

Every time I see there's a new post in this thread, I check it out in the vain hope that Nintendo Australia have put something decent up for offer and someone here is saying "OMG NINTENDO AUSTRALIA HAVE PUT SOMETHING DECENT UP FOR OFFER".

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Instead you have 3 less.

Wii Super NES Classic Controller now available for Club Nintendo Europe members for 7000 points! (http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/club_nintendo/stars_catalogue_5823.html)

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/images/stars_items/SC_SNESController_large.jpg

[Natrak]

Looking through the Club Nintendo Europe Stars Catalogue makes me angry.

[Nic Xtreme]

7000?! We don't get enough releases to make that even feasible. Are games worth more over there or something?

EDIT: I guess not. The sensu are only 1000 points there. And the Link statue is 15000 :O

Btw the Sensu are pretty shit. Instead of fabric up top, it's paper. It's not that expensive to make fabric ones.

[Stevorooni]

^This, but I only recently got a Wii.

I also only recently had my mind blown by the Connection Ambassador prizes, but then realized just how ungamerly an act is required in order to claim the VC catalogues. ****ing die, Nintendo.

[9warbane]

Came with Other M and I sure as hell don't buy enough of the games that come with the codes.

K29J0OV9U5C49FC4

They really shouldn't use 0 with O's

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

*yoink*

[Super Sleuth]

Yeah. I've got 2 codes from Mario Sports Mix that I won't use.

PM me if you want. First in best dressed.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

*yoink*

****ing raking in the points today!

[Super Sleuth]

Blake is well dressed.

[Super Sleuth]

Ok, points are taken.

Blame Why Me and Blake.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

****ing Why Me...

[Starscream]

Maybe. They might have higher point values or they allow multiple purchases of a single title to your points tally.

[Stevorooni]

****ing Why Me...

Well that's one way to get the points from him.

[VanAce]

I've got a code, does anyone want it? First in gets it.

[Super Sleuth]

No...

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Yes.!

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

****ing *yoinked*

[fatbloodyfinger]

Damn Nintendo screwed up my Game & Watch order. I couldn't care less now.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Also, to coincide with the launch of Nintendo 3DS, Club Nintendo has been expanded to include eligible third party Nintendo 3DS games (games not released by Nintendo Australia).

Each qualified third party Nintendo 3DS game will carry a Club Nintendo PIN. By registering the product online at Club Nintendo, you can earn 250 stars for third party games.

Hurrah.


Also the 3DS is gonna be 500 stars, so you can buy... something in the future I'm sure.

[dimorphic]

I got the Mario facewashers and put them on the wall. They look purdy.

[Gutsman Heavy]

The code that came with LEGO Star Wars 3DS doesn't work. Woo.

[Natrak]

Having the same problem with Rabbids 3D. SSFIV and Ridge Racer worked, though.

Goddamn the catalogue sucks so goddamn much.

[VanAce]

Apparently European codes will work here

http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/news/25803/

[Natrak]

Yeah, my copy of Ridge Racer had one of those and it worked fine, Rabbids 3D didn't work on launch day but did a few days later.

[Zip]

http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/up/news/snesclassiccontrollerclubnintendo.png

Just ordered mine!

[Super Sleuth]

oh **** it. Time to redeem them points.

sheeeit. I have 3750 of them. Wow.

[Super Sleuth]

Seriously though, 3000 points for that. ****ing Nintendo.

[Natrak]

I can't believe they actually have something worthwhile! Ordered. Thanks for the heads-up, Zip.

[Super Sleuth]

"The address you have entered could not be found in the automated address check system. If you feel the system is in error, please turn off the address check functionality and resubmit. Otherwise, please correct your address."

...

[Super Sleuth]

Well I'm ****ing here, just send the piece of shit.

[Super Sleuth]

It's fine, you can turn off the address checker. Still, **** them.

[Natrak]

Yeah, that was confusing. If the address is right just check the box and then proceed.

[Natrak]

4-6 weeks is pretty pathetic.

[Super Sleuth]

haha, it actually says you can turn off the address checker in the quote I posted. I've lost it.

And yeah, I live about 20 minutes from Nintendo HQ. I'd like to think I'd get it a little earlier than that. But 1, it's Nintendo and 2, I don't care. What the **** am I going to play with it?

[Natrak]

Actually really looking forward to using it with Super Metroid tbh.

[Super Sleuth]

I'm busy playing God of War 3. But in 4-6 weeks, who knows what I'll be doing.



probably still in the Labyrinth.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Wait, that wasn't from the Euro store?

OH MY ****!

Just over half the points needed, but it's good to know there's something worth aiming for now. How pissed would you be if you just bought the ****ing face washers?


Should be good for DKC.

[Super Sleuth]

Donkey Kong has a filthy face.

[Nic Xtreme]

Hell yes, finally something of value. Totally getting it then leaving it in the box <_< (I already play with my JP one)

[MacGuyver]

I only need 150 more points! So glad I didn't cave in and buy one of those shirts that they had going for a while.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I have a MH Tri Bundle code & Pokemon Black code to trade, Only need 400points >_>

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I only need 150 more points! So glad I didn't cave in and buy one of those shirts that they had going for a while.

Those shirts were worth it. Hell, they were 1 of the 2 decent things the shop's had for purchase.

[Starscream]

I've only registered Mario Kart Wii and got 500 Star points for that.

Do you only get 150 star points for each Nintendo title (either Wii or DS)?

[Super Sleuth]

I have free codes.

2 of them I think.

[Starscream]

I have free codes.

2 of them I think.

I'll take one.

[Super Sleuth]

that means I have to get up. ffffff

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

*youink!*

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Here's a list (http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10520) of points/games.

After I got a pokemon code from here Nintendo sent me a survey worth 50 points or something, but I accidentally entered my age as 3 and it said I was too young and locked me out of it. :mad:

:(

Gold.

Main reason for deciding to purchase this Wii game?: Downloaded demo.




TAKE THE HINT NINTENDO!

[Nic Xtreme]

Got the SNES controller, only 600 points are left :(

[dinopoke]

Sorry Blake but Zip is going to win all those comps.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I suspect even he will have trouble winning a survey for a game I didn't purchase.

[MacGuyver]

Woo hoo, ordered my SNES classic controller. Thanks to the list of games posted earlier that come with points, I managed to find a game I'd brought ages ago but hadn't registered yet.

[jawsy]

Crud. Would anyone like to give me 2600 points?

[Starscream]

Crud. Would anyone like to give me 2600 points?

We used them to get our SNES Wii Controllers!

[jawsy]

Okay, I get it, we're negotiating. How about 2350 (I may or may not have just found one for Metroid: Other M)?

[Gutsman Heavy]

its not there any more! T.T

[Nic Xtreme]

Hell yeah, eBay value +1!

The Controller arrived today.

IT. IS. AWESOME.

[Natrak]

Mine too, 'tis pretty awesome indeed.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I hate you all.

Luckily the controller for WiiHD will be perfect for retro gaming!

[Starscream]

Maybe a snappy answer in 25 or less to Nintendo Australia to see if they will re-stock the controller.

Do you want me to post my picture of my SNES Wii controllers again Blake?

[Super Sleuth]

oh shiiiit. That's what the Australia Post item collect thing is for.

I thought it may be NBA Jam.


but no.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Maybe a snappy answer in 25 or less to Nintendo Australia to see if they will re-stock the controller.

Just waiting for them to ask me something first.

[Natrak]

It's still showing up in the catalogue for me.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

It's because they're out. Not buying something until they come back.

hmpf!

[Kotche]

nintendo are so retarded for not actually selling those

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Which they failed at.

[tau]

Why isn't there anything worth redeeming points for now ;_;

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Damn it tau they only had 10 SNES controllers to give away and they did!

I accidentally got 2 codes with Mercs 3D, but neither is working yet. Maybe once the release date has past. Luckily for me I'm not exactly in a rush to claim anything!

[Natrak]

Why isn't there anything worth redeeming points for now ;_;

You mean you don't want a giant AR card mat!?

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

It's really more of an A4 sized bit of cardboard isn't it?

[TheMixta43]

Registered my copy of OoT 3D today after getting it on Monday, and got the free soundtrack! Everybody go register your copies now.

[Do As Infinity]

Club Nintendo Australia really does suck. would give away my codes, but they r for Club Nintendo Japan and US!

[Kotche]

This people, this is how you make friends on the internet.

[topaz]

Did anyone have problems linking their Club Nintendo accounts to the 3DS or Wii? I had it linked before, then I updated my email address on the Club Nintendo website, and had it un-linked from the consoles. Now I can't link it back again with my new email address, or my old email address :/

EDIT: Nevermind, it works now. Looks like it doesn't update the changes in the database immediately, but it will eventually (maybe weekly?).
