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

 

This is the schedule of discontinuing service.

They said they will announce a new loyalty program to replace Club Nintendo

 

Hopefully it'll be something similar to PS Plus where you can get discounts too

Wait...so is Flipnote 3D only available until that time?...

It'll be available some time in February and most likely expire when Club Nintendo ends.

Oh. I hope I'll be able to get a 3DS by then,

if not...

But how the h*** are we going to get Mewtwo without Club Nintendo? Club Nintendo is the only way to get Mewtwo for free, and they already promised us that! This sucks if they are now saying forget Mewtwo and it really disappoints Mewtwo fans alike!

Wasn't it said that Mewtwo will be released in Spring? Club Nintendo will be over completely in June and it'll be Summer.

flipnote is finally coming???? Yes!!

eShop Plus members service? Free games every month and other various discounts. No need for coins. That sounds like an idea I can get behind.

That would be cool, but I don't know if I'd actually go through with it if it's a paid subscription. I'd also be concerned with all of the space it would take up on my systems, since the system memory's kinda small. I want something like the DDP that they had for Wii U. It would be cooler if registering a physical game counted for that too, but I doubt that would happen.

The real news here is that Flipnote 3D is finally releasing out of Japan. Thought that would never make it, glad to be proven wrong.

 

Club Nintendo's probably getting axed in favor of a service more intwined with the Nintendo Network and junk. Hope the new one is good too (and keep physical rewards pls)

I love how Nintendo genuinely doesn't understand what customer loyalty means.

 

Hope the new system is good, and that the final rewards for CN are both cool and affordable.

What?

 

Club Nintendo was a customer loyalty service along the lines of PS Plus or Xbox Gold Rewards. 

In that case you may as well say Sony and Microsoft don't understand customer loyalty.

I'm a member of Club Nintendo (and PS+, but regardless). My point being the silent pruning and eventual unceremonious axing of a service they clearly had no vested interest in isn't really "customer loyalty". The whole program was based around people slavishly buying Nintendo products and then zealously keeping an eye on the potential rewards, and now a lot of that ends up being pretty meaningless.They could easily revitalize and increase the types of services offered by CN, or transfer some credits into whatever the new program is (granted, they might still do this), etc. There's lots of options, but they're not really saying whether or not this apparent replacement service is worth it. I hope it is.

They're trying to make a better service to work with. This one obviously wasn't working out that well by this point, so a new one was/is necessary. It will be worth it and them axing the current service has nothing to do with your customer loyalty.

And I'm looking forward to the new service, whatever it may be. But they created a system wherein I was expected to throw money at them for some sort of reward, and now they're completely moving past it. It's the same deal with the New 3DS; they hyped up the old 3DS plenty before unceremoniously throwing it under the bus for a shiny new handheld that makes very little sense. That's not customer loyalty, that's just business as usual. But they've created enough of a following that it works. I should know, I'm (for the most part) one of those suckers.I'll get on board with whatever their new system is (unless it's subscription, in which case nope nope nope PS+ barely makes it work), but I'm not going to pretend that they aren't shafting a lot of people along the way.

I don't know many people who bought games just to possibly get a cool reward. In fact, I've never heard of that. I just get the games anyway, then register them. I've gotten a lot of amazing games for free through Club Nintendo, but it's been slowing down lately. It was time for a new service.

Bye bye registrations to Majora's Mask. Wish they open up registrations for only that to get something special like with Ocarina of Time.
