Cool Nintendo Crap for Japan. Again.

posted by Chris on December 28, 2006 3:47 PM in Games

File this under "holy crap that's awesome I am jealous". Japan has this little thing called Club Nintendo, where members can register games and get points for some really neat free stuff. In the past bonuses have included exclusive games, DS styluses (stylii?), shirts and other kitchy fun Nintendo greatness. Platinum members get some special gifts this year, choosing between custom Mii Wiimote battery covers, or a club-exclusive Tingle DS Game (which looks like a re-skinned version of Balloon Fight).

What do we get in the states for registering our games? Exclusive wallpapers, and back when Wind Waker was released we got a bonus Zelda collection disk. You know what would be nice? Bonus Wii Points for registering games. Even a small number like 100 would be really neat. I still register every Nintendo game I get just in case someday in the future NOA starts giving bonuses. Which they won't.

Sigh.
