Japanese Club Nintendo Platinum rewards for 2013 – Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and a calender
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DSiWare, General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Nintendo has announced the 2013 Japanese Club Nintendo Platinum rewards. Members who reached the status this year will receive a download code for Advance Wars: Day of Ruin as well as a calender.
Advance Wars’ inclusion as a reward is particularly noteworthy. Nintendo never released Days of Ruin in Japan, but is now doing so through Club Nintendo.
Platinum members can download the title as a DSiWare title starting today. Nintendo will also allow all Japanese Club Nintendo users to pick up Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for 800 points beginning in May 2014.

Nintendo has the ability to remotely delete eShop content
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
Did you know Nintendo can remotely delete content you’ve purchased on the eShop? It’s true: any item Nintendo deems illegal could be removed from your account and SD card.
One 3DS user discovered this after violating the terms of Club Nintendo’s Fire Emblem: Awakening/Shin Megami Tensei IV promotion. The person ended up registering two copies of both games to her Club Nintendo accounts and obtained two separate $30 eShop credits, but redeemed both codes on a single 3DS.
Just a few weeks later, the 3DS owner was presented with a notice that her Club Nintendo accounts had been deactivated after attempting to log in to the site. The remaining balance from the site’s promotion had also been removed from her eShop account, and SteamWorld Dig – the only game downloaded with the credit – had disappeared.
The issue here is that the promotion stated only one code could be used per account. Users are also forbidden from maintaining two separate Club Nintendo accounts, not to mention registering games they haven’t purchased.
Thankfully for this person, Nintendo of America agreed to reactivate her Club Nintendo accounts. However, the eShop credit as well as SteamWorld Dig were not restored.
