Sadly the Club Nintendo rewards program is being shuttered and anything released later than January 20, 2015 will not be eligible to be registered on the site, which includes the New 3DS for North America. Also, all codes must be entered by March 31 and Club Nintendo will be shutting down at the end of June with code redemptions from the rewards program expiring at the end of July.
Dear Club Nintendo Members,
Thank you for your continued loyalty to Nintendo.
We launched Club Nintendo 6 years ago in North America, and we’re grateful for all of the feedback that our members have provided on your experiences with our products.
In order to focus on planning for a new customer loyalty program for our fans, we’ve decided to wind-down the Club Nintendo program. We are deeply thankful to our members for being a part of Club Nintendo for all of these years.
We will share details about our new program at a later date. For now, please see the schedule below for information on the discontinuation timeframe for Club Nintendo.
All Coins will be deleted when Club Nintendo accounts are closed on July 1, 2015. As a result, to give our members the best opportunity to use their Coins, we will add dozens of downloadable games and a limited quantity of exclusive reward items to the rewards catalog in February. In addition, as a small token of appreciation for your loyalty, all Club Nintendo members will receive a free download code for Flipnote Studio 3D in February 2015. Please visit here for information on the software and how to get the download code.

It’s a little late in the year but our shortlist for some of our favourite games of 2014. We’ve left out the shooter and sports games category this year as we’ve felt that most years it’s pretty much the same fare. Continue reading
Even though most of Super Smash Bros’ roster is not as well known, it’s still good to know that Nintendo still has a good foothold among pop culture with their bigger titles. Still some of the responses gave me a good chuckle, like how Zero Suit Samus was referenced as Jennifer Lawrence and Kirby looked like a piece of gum.
It was originally announced yesterday that the Gamecube Controller adapter for the Wii U would be compatible not just with Super Smash Bros., but with all games that made use of the Wii U Pro Controller. Sadly that is not to be. Nintendo has now cleared up with their official accessory listing that this adapter will only compatible with Smash Bros. It’s definitely a shame that there currently won’t be more support for the Gamecube controller.
