What is Club Nintendo?
Club Nintendo was a program that started in Japan by the popular gaming company, Nintendo. It was a way for people to register their games and earn points and trade in the points for items!
What items were offered?
Numerous items are offered especially on the Japanese version which ranged from soundtracks to cards and even games! Just take a look at the Japanese site! http://club.nintendo.jp/member/exec/entr...iPrivilege

Wait.. I have some Nintendo games.. should I bother registering them?
ABSOLUTELY! Actually the North America version has a thing where if you register a game that was newly released, you can take a survey and earn even more points!
Do the points expire?
Unfortunately, yes.. after 2 years.. but hey.. that's a long time..
Is there benefits for certain amount of points?
Yup, there is! If you gain a certain amount of points, you can bump your status to a higher level and get free bonus items. But you can only get this within one Club Nintendo year!
What's a Club Nintendo year?
June 30th marks a Club Nintendo year
Got more questions? Post and I'll answer!
