Nintendo has pulled out all the stops for its fans by refunding Club Nintendo members and Wii U owners with 150 coins if they purchased Super Metroid in the past month. In April, the game was one of the rewards North American members could purchase with previously saved coins on the website, along with Super Mario 64, Kirby’s Pinball Land and 3D Classics: Urban Champion.
Due to a special promotion beginning May 15, Super Metroid will be on offer for just 30 cents, and Nintendo thought it would be unfair for Club Nintendo members to lose out. The company sent out a mass email to its members detailing that they would refund their account with 150 coins as they own a Wii U, and said members can still use the download code they received with their previous purchase.
nice of them : )
See, I had this plan…
Get Super Meteoid on Wii Virtual Consol for 150 coins, then get it for a discount on the WiiU VC as anyone with a Wii VC game, can purchase it at a discount on the WiiU VC.
WELL, I missed the Memo that it would be 0.30 This month, and saw my folly as costing me 150 coins.
Until this post, where I am reminded yet again that Nintendo watches out for it’s fans.
Nice! By the way, do you mean “pulled out all the stops?” at least that’s how the saying goes in the US.
Ha! Yes, I’m clearly a bit sleepy today. Thanks! :)
Dead sound
Cant wait to get this game for $.30!! 💋
The could have done that before i used my code on the Wii mode of my Wii U! Now i have to pay 1 dolar or buy it all again for 0.3 cents… >,<
A) they didn’t have to do it at all seeing it was no secret it was going on sale in May in the first place
B) Wii game download codes are not the same as Wii U eShop codes
I recently purchased it for 150 coins, yes it was stupid, but I for one, will benifit from Nintendo’s generosity.
They’re selling it for one third of a penny? “0.3 cents”. ;P
Either $.30 or 30¢, 30 cents.
I remember when Microsoft and Sony refunded me what I paid for a game because it was going on sale in the near future….. said no one ever.
They gave me 20 Microsoft points for free… once.
Wow that’s sad. They gave me 400 points once when my account got hacked and it took them 2 months to fix it. What the hell could I buy with 400 points?! Nothing that I want anyway. Oh and they have me 20 points for my birthday last year. Microsoft doesn’t know how to treat its fans.
Two thumbs up for the Big N!
Not sure why they did that since if you brought it at full price before the sale it was your own damn fault for not doing proper research or not waiting.
Good Guy Nintendo.
That’s actually really cool of them.
Nintendo is nice.
Good job Nintendo. Nice to know that you’re still appreciating the fans
A special promotion on Super Metroid? Is some Metroid news on the way? E3?
I knew it was a good idea redeeming this on Club Nintentdo, thanks Nintendo.
One time, I signed up to beta test an original Xbox game. Because of problems in manufacturing the discs, the test was cancelled and I got a free 12-month Xbox Live subscription as a consolation.
Not often you see the apology being 10 times better than what you would normally have gotten. :P
THIS is a great example of business done right. Thanks N.
