Club Nintendo is a service available for anyone who bought Nintendo’s products. With the purchase of these products you’ll receive a certain code, which can be entered online to receive points. Such points will allow you to get amazing Nintendo branded goodies or even games for free! Initially many doubted the quality of this service because of Nintendo of Europe’s meager arsenal of goods. Nintendo of America’s Cammie Dunaway assured us that the American program would bear more similarities to the Japanese variant, which obviously is a good thing.
Cammie Dunaway also explained how Club Nintendo will work:
“When you purchase a Nintendo product, you go on and you say that you’ve purchased a Nintendo product, you get points for that,” […] “You also get points for filling out surveys to talk about your experience with the product. You actually get points before you purchase, if you indicate an interest in purchasing… So it really helps us to gauge marketplace demand. As you collect points — these are actually gold coins — you’re able to trade them in for real merchandise.”
When asked about the quality of the merchandise she responded with:
“It’s weighted more toward physical goods: more like the Japanese program than the European which is pretty much digital.”
Expect Club Nintendo to be online and working by the end of the holidays.
