Club Nintendo Website Lets You Pay For Games With Coins

Nintendo has redesigned the Club Nintendo website allowing gamers to use their Club Nintendo coins to pay for downloadable games for Wii or Nintendo 3DS. The site currently appears to be down for maintenance but one reader managed to snap the above screenshot. Which games will you be exchanging for coins?

    1. YEAH new posters. i have the other 3 but they arent on my wall because i dont want to ruin them with tape i need FRAMES!!

    1. Actually I think you Europeans get better prizes. You got the Kid Icarus 3D prize and the chance to win a limited edition 3DS if you purchased two games.

    2. No, the stars and coins are the same, except their’s are called coins…
      And we did have a thing where you could buy wii/DSi points with stars, they’ll probably do something similar to what America is doing pretty soon…

  1. I have 550 Coins!!! I was gonna use them for the t-shirt, but im soooo using my coins for this!
    I LOVE YOU NINTENDO!

  2. I came with the force of 1000 suns

    Let me just copypasta what I said when I linked this to my facebook for others to see:

    “I WANT THAT POSTER PACK!!!!! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!!!! I MUST HAVE THOSE POSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111
    CLUB NINTENDO’S SITE BETTER BE BACK UP AFTER I GET OFF WORK TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    Yup.

  3. Are we talking about the same coins that you use for the 3DS for the wee puzzle games? The same coins that if I change the date I can get 10 new coins, Then switch the date back and get another 10? o.O

    1. Livin Aint Eazy When You Cheezy

      Hahahahahahahaha no. Those are play coins. We’re talking about coins you get when you become a Club Nintendo member and register first (soon to be third in USA) party titles like Ocarina of Time 3d, Starfox 3D, and etc., etc., etc.

    1. As Fluidity will be one of the initial titles yes Wiiware games. It is supposed to change monthly I heard (games offered)

  4. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! THIS IS FANTASTIC!! I’ve been registering games just for the heck of it, unsure if I’d ever cash them in for stuff, but I’d gladly spend all my coins on games.

  5. Livin Aint Eazy When You Cheezy

    Considering I have a helluva lot of coins and no intentions of getting Game & Watch. I’m there!

  6. Too bad I spent my coins on a messenger bag and a horrible WiiWare game like 2 months ago. Oh well, I still have 150 coins left.

    Now I have to wait for Club Nintendo to come back up.

  7. Finally I have like 3000 coins for saving xD now it’s the time they’ll become games since there is no place around here where i can buy a 3DS card for some reason… But well happy holidays hahah

  8. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea! I doubt any retail titles will be available, but being able to get digital games is awesome! I’d love to get the Kirby 3D classic! Hopefully the site comes up soon, I wanna register Mario Kart 7 and Fortune Street!

  9. Nice move. This encourages people to buy Nintendo retail games. By buying the downloadable games, Nintendo doesn’t have to spend money on physical items and shipping of those items. They just give you a download code and you get the game. That’s a smart move from them.

  10. THIS IS SWEEEEEEET! Good thing I’ve been saving up on coins. Those downloadable games will keep me busy while I’m forced to wait for christmas to get mk7 =)

  11. Looks like one of the Zelda posters is the same design as one offered at the 25th anniversary concerts. The other two appear new. I’d be annoyed if I paid the price (it was 20 quid here in the UK) for that poster and now I could get it for a lot less via coins heh. Looks like I have something to spend 400 coins on finally. Before you mention, I do have a US Club Nintendo account… handy having an American girlfriend heh.

    1. I came with the force of 1000 suns

      I noticed that too….makes me think this picture might have been faked but I don’t know enough about it to make such accusations….maybe we just need to wait a little longer…..hopefully e-e I want those LoZ posters suh bad x_x

      1. Not to mention the Club Nintendo tab at the top would be darkened to indicate that’s where you are on the site. Hopefully those posters are on sale at the concerts…

  12. I Am The Yeti. You Are Scum

    By the way, this can be exploited easily. Gamestop doesn’t take the code out of the case when it’s on display so it’ll be easy to just take em. Though I would never. Just saying…

  13. yup I see nothing new im in canada
    i was so happy when i saw the post… site was down for me for hours then wake up today to go get me some games that arent there..oh well .

  14. Probably should have confirmed this with Nintendo first. No games on club Nintendo US except the old tired ones. Oh well, I really did have my hopes up on this…

    1. I saw it reported elsewhere. Perhaps it’s not ready to launch? If they are offering Wii VC games and Wiiware games, I system update might be in order for the Wii Shop channel. It could have been a slip up, so they had to take down the site for maintenance.

    2. It was accidently leaked early, Nintendo is trying to work out the kinks so that the website will work properly when they decide to release it. Expect to hear/see something before at least the 22nd

  15. From the north america club nintendo website
