The Club Nintendo thread!

[Hilijix]

Well, they've run out of Gold Nunchuks. Such a jerkish move for them nerfing all the coin prices, then releasing something awesome for a high coin price a month later.

BTW, if anyone's getting Kirby' Dream Collection in the future, the Intend to Buy survey is up. I know I'm doing it.

EDIT: Oh and we can apparently get Excitebike now. IN 3D!

[Clamps]

Really? Sweet. Buyer's remorse here I come!

[R_N]

Bah, I knew I should have just gone ahead and put in stuff and got the nunchuck yesterday

oh well I'm sure it will come back up again ala the 3ds case

[Clamps]

Doubt it. They never said the 3DS case was going to be limited quantities, whereas we were told that about the Gold Nunchuck from the start.

[EternalSword7]

The early bird gets the worm.
...or in our case, the nunchuks.

I'm glad I picked mine up asap.

[Platina2000]

I'm glad I ordered it the very moment I saw it. A great accessory to go with my Gold Zelda Wiimote.

[Poetry]

I've only every really wanted one thing from the Club Nintendo catalogue, and that was the Link beach towel NOE had on sale last year.
And now I find out that NOA got the golden nunchuck and all we have are useless, overpriced tat that goes for stupid prices on eBay....

[The Eleventh]

I hope the European Club Nintendo gets the golden Nunchuk, but I'm low on points at the moment due to purchasing the Leaf Cup trophy (speaking of which, where is it? I ordered it over a month ago. :/).

Folders with the most garish designs ever have recently been added to the Stars Catalogue, by the way.

You'll probably get it soon. The Mario Kart Trophies are probably made with very good quality, so it should take time. Do you know if anyone else got it?

Anyway, today I received my Golden Nunchuk! Too bad I don't have a Golden Zelda Wiimote to match, but now I have 3 Wiimotes and 3 Nunchuks!

[EternalSword7]

Thanks for reminding me to get the mail. I went up to the box and there it was. The box was a bit smaller than I expected.

Having the golden remote and golden nunchuk makes me feel like Hylian royalty. With that in mind; I wonder what's for dinner...

[R_N]

By the way, the Nunchuck is now officially under the "Currently Unavailable" area of the rewards

Due to popular demand, the Gold Nunchuk sold out quicker than anticipated! We’re hoping to make this golden gem available again. Please check back soon for more details.

told you it would come back!

[AuraChannelerChris]

What popular demand? Obviously, the people who have insufferably saved coins because they thought everything else on the catalog sucked instantly bought it.

There is still hope ;_; Not much hope for a guy with 430 coins, but there is still hope.

Is there any chance NOA or NOE will be getting the Super Mario Galaxy 2 soundtrack anytime soon? As far as I know the Japanese Club Nintendo have had it for almost two years now.

[BCVM22]

Two years after the fact? Not outright impossible, but not terribly likely.

[Poetry]

Dammit. Looks like I'll have to save up to buy a copy from eBay then.
It angers me that we can't get the SMG2 soundtrack but the SMG soundtrack still seems to be in abundance in the European Stars Catalogue.

[Clamps]

You could always just download it. No real point in wasting money on a soundtrack of all things.

[Poetry]

Yes, I could download it but I'd much rather invest in having the actual physical copy instead of a heartless, probably illegal internet download.
And in my opinion, soundtracks are worth spending good money on. I understand that not everyone who plays video games listens to or appreciates the music but please don't tell me that I'm "wasting money" on them, least of all a superb orchestrated soundtrack like the Super Mario Galaxy ones which contain some of the best pieces of music ever produced by any games company.

[Clamps]

I'd understand if you were buying it from Nintendo directly, but buying something "for the sake of having it" is pointless when the original creator sees no profit from it.

You're supporting scalpers, pretty much.

Nintendo isn't that into releasing soundtracks:

"Nintendo, first and foremost, is a games company. They are not a record company so anything to do with music and especially selling music is something that they are hesitant in wanting to do."

Sucks, I know. It would be a dream to see soundtracks on Club Nintendo someday.
