Where is the list of old games that still qualify? I saw the "list," but I'm assuming that is for already registered games... correct? What if I now go out and "buy" a game not on that list. Do I not get any coins? Sent an email to Nintendo, but no reply yet.
 
This might not be related at all lilboo but I kept getting the questions over and over after logging in. I checked the old email account that is linked to nintendo.com and they had a verify email address link. Once I clicked on the link through my email... it transferred my already registered wii games.

Might be completely off base after all the stuff you've tried. However, they never mentioned that I had to confirm my email when I transferred my account at the site, so I just kept trying to log in every few hours.
 
[quote name='crunchewy']Of course people will try to sell codes and probably some people will buy them on occasion. I doubt anyone will get much, but imagine if someone is, say, 30 points away from Platinum, with a day to go, and they don't want to spend $30 on a game they don't want just to reach Platinum level. I bet they'd be willing to pay somebody, say, $5, maybe more, for a valid DS reg code. So, come June 30th, I think reg codes will be sold.[/quote]
Make friends with your local Blockbuster employees. They love to give out the inserts for rental copies since they just throw them away anyway. That's how I got a ton of official white cases for games that I bought disc-only as well.

I suspect any game that comes with a code from here on out will net you points. The list just clarifies which games released before the launch of Club Nintendo (whether you've registered them already or not) are eligible.

Had no problem inputting the rest of my codes last night. I'm at 740 right now. Got some Wii points, so I'm going to get World of Goo, and I got my wife Animal Crossing: City Folk for Christmas, so that'll get me to 800 and the G&W Collection. Huzzah!

Would love it if they made the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack, SNES classic controller, and G&W Collection 2 available here. Might also be nice to re-release Electroplankton as a Club Nintendo reward, for those who didn't get it before.

Of course, I can't even imagine how much crap you'd have to buy to get enough coins to obtain all of that.

That's where my email was sent - to the old address I had registered with My Nintendo.

So when are my VC purchases going to pop in there....

arg.

Guess I will spend some time shifting through codes... yay.
 
[quote name='xycury']So when are my VC purchases going to pop in there....[/quote]

They're not. You have to e-mail Nintendo directly to get credit, but first look at the list and make sure that they're eligible. Only a very few VC titles are.
 
[quote name='Tybee']Only a very few VC titles are.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. It's only the rare ones you can only find on eBay for inflated prices.

World of Goo: 98 Holiday Edition.

I've wanted that one forever. Also the one where a disgruntled programmer placed a naked man covering himself in butter in the background on stage 3.

Yikes, the site still logs me out constantly, but at least I finally had a handful of surveys I could take. Surprisingly few considering all the games I've registered over the years. I only have a bit over 400 coins I think.

Oh well, it's still...something, I guess.

Plus I love tearing in to some of these games. Handful that were just way too hard (and conversely I got to blather on ab out the awesomeness that is Super Mario Galaxy).

Geez...it didn't even ask me about New Super Mario Bros. So few games that they actually asked me about...

How dare you say that. I'm a margarine man!
 
:whee:

I have tried like 10 PCs at work. Everytime someone leaves their desk I sneak over and try to log in.

NINTENDO = ANTI GAY.
IM GONNA SUE SOO HARD!
 
:rofl: So I called AGAIN. Man this guy sounded pissed.

They must have 80000000 lilboo's calling up.
He's like, lol, PLZ JUST TRYIN AGAIN LATER. I'm like, Good Sir, I've been trying since Monday night.. why haven't I been able to log in once? He's like THE SITE IS VERY NEW AND THERES THOUSANDS MAYBE MILLIONS LOGGING IN AT THE SAME TIME! I'm like.. I get that, but I've tried all hours of the day SINCE Monday.. I get that the site is NEW..but..not even ONCE is a bit ridiculous. "ITS A NEW SITE, ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!"

:rofl: Daaang!

Reminds me when I worked tech support for a piece of software that car dealerships used. I had to work December 26th one year, so I was basically all alone.

Dood calls in and is FREAKING. OUT. about how our stuff isn't working.

Without going into detail, at some point he screams out

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND - IT'S TOYOTATHOOOOOOOOON!

Man, I had to mute my mic so he wouldn't hear me laughing.
 
:rofl: :rofl:

So when I should I officially be pissed? Like..when should I call Nintendo and cuss them out and basically say "yo my account is JACKED MAN!"..? Should I like.. wait until sometime next week until I officially ruin someone's Christmas?

MAD PROPS TO NINTENDO FOR NOT HAVING A HINDU HOTLINE! :applause:
I am getting angry, bitter, sexually repressed white guys..but at LEAST I can understands them!

Aww. So negative. I hope yours starts working... uhhh... soon.

Bitch thing just logged me out... again. Sigh.
 
[quote name='lilboo']I hope it's the worst experience of your life.[/QUOTE]
It sounds like it could be. I mean, this collection only has three games in it. I mean wtf lol I know it's not a full retail release, but give us a little more, Nintendo, amirite
 
That's only three Game and Watch games? I was hoping it meant three COLLECTIONS of game and watch games.

Pretty weak, although...well it's something, I guess.

Though since they skip 99.9% of the games I've registered, I only have 480 coins right now anyway. I can't even tell them about games I'm going to buy. It just says there aren't any.

I'll probably get Mario & Luigi 3 and Fire Emblem 1 (unless they require touch screen use to play them, in which case I'll cancel my preorders).
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']Badass! They're giving out the Game and Watch collection for only 800 coins? I better have enough for that shit.
I'm going to try to setup my account tonight.[/quote]

ONLY 800 coins? You do realize that you had to spend $800 dollars (well, sort of) to get those coins, right?

Getting coins seems like cake now, given the stack of eligible games most of us had accumulated over the last two or three years. But trying to achieve Platinum status next year, or even enough coins for a decent reward, will be a bitch, I promise you.

Well, you're basing 800 dollars off the full MSRP of these games right?
That's what I thought!
But point taken.

I hope they do so you won't get them and then we can enjoy more of your useless complaining.

Yeah - I can't get excited about the Game & Watch Collection. Hell, the GB (original) Game & Watch Gallery had 4 games on it didn't it? Surely a DS cart could hold every Game & Watch game ever made, so why doesn't it? My advice to everyone is to just buy all the GB, GBC and GBA Game & Watch Gallery games from ebay, which is a much better deal, and use your coins for the other stuff which seem a lot more unique (well, except the Wii remote holder).
 
Guh, I forgot my username to my My Nintendo account and there doesn't seem to be any way to retreive it...so I just emailed Nintendo and gave them my password. I hope they get back to me. It's frustrating not being able to remember your username.
 
[quote name='Strell']I hope they do so you won't get them and then we can enjoy more of your useless complaining.[/quote]

Amen to that. :applause:

Well, as far as coins go, I buy enough Nintendo shit that I'll make it to that platinum level over and over again. Not too concerned.

Besides, it is "free". For stuff I was going to buy anyway, they are going to give me some perks? No bitching from me.

This by far beats the hell out of My Nintendo, which throughout those six years or so, I only got a handful of items. And even then, I was still pretty content with what I did get so Club Nintendo is just better in every regard.
 
Well, it's been over 2 days since I first tried to transfer my My Nintendo account over to Club Nintendo. Still no verification email. Still can't log in. So I continue to wait.

:grouphug:
 
[quote name='strikeratt']I would also like to add you cannot add multiples of the same game ... which sucks but i guess I'll just have to start a 2nd acct then :D[/QUOTE]

You don't have to do that. Just add another family member to your account. They'll allow 1 copy of a game per family member in one main, "family" account. I did it and registered 2 copies of Mario Kart DS and MP Hunters already.


And Lilboo, if it's killing you so badly, man up and set the alarm for 4:00 am already. There are better things to stress out about than a stupid Nintendo site.
 
Right now I'm at 600 coins and platinum status. If I spend my 600 points and drop to 0, will I lose my platinum level? Also, do the platinum awards cost coins when they become available or will they automatically be sent to platinum members for free without having to spend coins. Thanks so much for the help.

No, you don't lose the platinum status. Once you hit it, you keep it until the whole thing resets.
 
I wonder what the "special gift" will be and if they wait until the year expiration to send it or if they send it as soon as you reach platinum status.
