Club Nintendo shutting down :c
I debated putting this in Back Fence but it's more gaming related so ?
Is anybody else bummed that they're shutting down Club Nintendo? Apparently they are coming out with a new program to replace it but it's hard to imagine how it will be different. And I feel like they will do away with physical prizes because they were already winding down with them and going digital (with the exception of the physical prizes that were just put up). But I am impressed with the amount of prizes & games they've put up for their "finale", as it were.

So, have you guys used CN? I think it's a cool idea because it's a nice little bonus if you are into Nintendo games! c:
And for those of you who don't & have any extra codes, I will trade you many hugs wink wink c;

You can actually still join until March 31st if you want to redeem codes before they shut down. c:HarvestMoonGoddess01 wrote:I thought about it but never used it... Now I guess I won't be able to.
Here is all of the info w/dates; http://club2.nintendo.com/program-notice/ (I'll add this to the OP actually)
@Bluie; Oh I've heard it's good (HarmoKnight), there are a lot of good games. What I'm really interested in is one of the poster sets but I only have about 300 coins. I'm going to wait, and if I can't get enough then I will decide on a game before they shut down. c; I'm kind of crazy about posters, I already have two sets from them. ;-;

I read this news like a week ago and my first though was that there was no more rewards for the costumers (like Nintendo having an economical crisis and shooting down this program). Then I read that there's going to be a new program (and a free game - Flipnote Studio 3D -), so not everything was bad news.
I have 190 points, so I'm 10 points shy from rewards of 200, so I'll likely won't be able to spend them all, but lets see what I can get with the points (site is in maintenance right now)...

No I never used it, so I guess I won't miss it. Heck it wasn't until recently that I actually used the eshop for something.
I wonder if it's going to end up like XBox and PS where you just about have to join their new 'club' to use their systems. It wouldn't bother me I suppose and there are some advantages to it maybe, like having a game library in a cloud, stuff like that they could add.
But I'm still the kind of person that likes to play alone and just buy a game, sit down and play it without the world needing to know about it. But I know the whole gaming world is moving away from that. Everything has got to be connected somehow these days.

omg thank youBluie wrote:Just a PSA for all who are looking for a few extra coins, Rusty's Real Deal, Pokemon Bank, and Steel Diver Sub Wars are all free to download and they give you 5 coins each for the first initial survey and then 5 for the post play.
There are a couple free WiiU games as well that do the same.
I hope not. I am like you, and CN has never been very social in any way (basically just redeem codes for prizes) so I hope they don't replace it with something mandatory that is.LeBurns wrote:No I never used it, so I guess I won't miss it.

@Bluie; Thank you for the tip! I'll be sure to download those when I get home. c:
Don't feel bad, I have 4 sets. *pats back* They're just so beautiful~Domineam wrote:I'm kind of crazy about posters, I already have two sets from them. ;-;
I'm a little bummed about it shutting down, but I'm more bummed that I can't log on because of the heavy traffic. I have a few codes left to enter and I want to know which prizes I can get. *eyes the AC cards*
