Let’s all take a moment of silence…
Nintendo’s loyalty program that rewarded members for buying its games by providing coins that could be spent on various games across Wii, 3DS, and Wii U as well as exclusive goodies has officially closed.
The program officially launched in 2008 in North America. Most games from the Nintendo DS and onward came with Club Nintendo leaflets that had codes attached to them that you would then input at the Club Nintendo website and be given coins in return after filling out a short survey. Those that achieved 300 coins would reach “Gold Status” while those that garnered over 600 coins within a “Club Nintendo Year” would reach “Platinum Status”. At the end of each Club Nintendo Year, gifts would go out to both Gold and Platinum members. Typically Platinum members would receive better rewards, but could choose Gold rewards if they’d like.
It’s a shame to see Club Nintendo go. I was an avid member for a few years and felt like I got a lot in return. It was a nice way of feeling like Nintendo was saying “thank you” for supporting them and their games. I still think it’s odd that this loyalty program is to be replaced with another loyalty program in the future, but hopefully whatever they have planned will be one that is a little more user-friendly and lightens up on the excessive surveys with redundant questions.
Have you been satisfied with Club Nintendo since its inception? What do you want to see implemented or taken out in the new program in the future? Let us know all the cool stuff you’ve gotten throughout the years of Club Nintendo and the most coins you’ve ever collected!
