In North America, a new My Nintendo reward can now be redeemed. A 3DS theme featuring Isabelle was added in today, costing 100 Platinum Points. It looks to be a permanent reward as no expiration date is listed.

For now, the Isabelle 3DS theme doesn’t appear to be up in Europe. Nintendo will likely put it up soon though, and we’ll let you know when that happens.

Thanks to Roto for the tip.

Much has been made of the controller cord included in the NES Classic Edition. Some have been worried that it’s a bit too small to stray too far away from the television.

Nintendo previously estimated that the cord would be about three feet. Now we have a more specific measurement, and it’s pretty similar to what was said in September. GameXplain reports that the cord should be roughly 30 inches.

During the days of Club Nintendo, members were able to register product on the service. In return, they’d receive points, and ultimately access to rewards.
