Club Nintendo post-play survey changes coming next month

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 7 Comments

A couple of notable changes are coming to the North American Club Nintendo site next month.

First, Wii and DS games will no longer offer 10-coin post-play surveys. Keep in mind that all such titles will continue to receive product registration surveys.

Also changing next month is the deadline to complete newly earned post-play surveys. This will be set at 30 days after they are issued for all games.

Both of these changes will be taking place on April 7.

Thanks to Forte-sama for the tip.

Japan gets 9 new Wii Sports Club – Golf holes from Wii Sports Resort

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 Comments

A new Wii Sports Club update has hit Japan today, which adds a total of nine new holes for the game’s golf section. What’s particularly interesting is that all of the holes come from Wii Sports Resort. The update is free, and I doubt it’ll be too long before it reaches North America and Europe as well.
