On the Download: Club Nintendo Rewards

If you buy a lot of Nintendo games, you have probably noticed a little slip of paper that tells you to register your games for exclusive rewards.  This rewards program is called Club Nintendo.  It is a place for Nintendo fans to register their games and fill out surveys in order to collect coins that they can use to order special items such as t-shirts, trading cards, posters and other specialty items.

Last month, Nintendo added a new bunch of rewards that Club Nintendo members could use their coins on. Those rewards were actual games.  Not retail games, but downloadable games for the Nintendo Wii or 3DS.  These new rewards sparked a lot of interest from Club Nintendo fans such as myself.  Personally, I only used my coins on ordering the Game & Watch Collection games for the DS.  Now I have a reason to finish all my outstanding surveys in order to earn enough coins to get a free downloadable game for my Wii or 3DS.  Each month Nintendo selects four games across their downloadable services that Club Nintendo members can use coins to get a code that they can use to download said game for free.  For December, Nintendo put up Super Mario Kart, 3D Classics: Xevious, Fluidity and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again.  For January, Nintendo has just put up The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Kirby's Dream Land, Dr. Mario Express and Dr. Mario Online RX.  These games range from 100 to 150 coins to get and will only be up until January 31st as Nintendo will switch them out four new games.  If you own a 3DS or a Wii, these rewards are great deals that you should not miss.  So hop onto your computer and head to club.nintendo.com and start earning some coins and getting some free games.
