Sure beats Club Nintendo. Club Nintendo gives you limited options and most of them stink but this gives you any option, because you get a free 5 bucks.

Do they even sell download codes for games? O_O I didn't know that... I haven't seen them in shops at all... Does anybody know when they will be releasing those?

It works for US owners.
AlanEdgeHead, are you sure you inputted your ID correctly?

Also I hope they combine this with Club Nintendo some day. I want Nintendo to make a completely unified Nintendo Network that encompasses all their consoles and combines each person's various user accounts. Everything's way too disconnected right now.

Looks like you cannot long till a day after you actually buy something.

Sweet! Time to get my $15.

Spend around $63!?! Just to get 5 dollars off plus it say's limited time offer... huh... Not sure if it'd really be worth the 5 dollars.

Nintendo doesn't make sense. They have the site set up for the wii u where you can only login with your nintendo network id but then turn's around & say's you can use the 5 dollars on the wii u e-shop OR the nintendo 3ds e-shop. Maybe the 3ds need's a nintendo network id as well so people could login either way.

Happy Gaming! (^_^)

I was hoping this would count eShop games as well cause I bought a few already and I want a couple more. Im looking at you crashmo

@Barbiegurl777 Actually think of it this way, buy ONE WiiU game digitally and you get to use $5 on another game
This is pretty neat, now what to use this $5 on? 3DS or WiiU?

Finally and we get TVii tomorrow..so.. Woot!

@Barbiegurl777

Not $63, but around £63

So, let me get this straight. Nintendo are only taking into account the pre tax price of a game on the eShop when they are counting points and once you get 500 points they give you £5.00 to use on the eShop does that £5.00 include the tax? wouldn't a fairer system be to count the tax both ways? It just seems to me as if you are only in reality gaining £4.00 (the tax in the UK is 20%) of your next purchase.

Thanks for explaining it. I wasn't sure how this program worked.

@Koto Yeah that would be a great idea have eveything on one website rather than the way it is at the mo, im quite disappointed with the stars catalog, it was taken down and I thought they were gonna update it with new items buts its still the same. ;o(

I don't even know what to get. I have $10 to claim, but I haven't even spent the other eShop funds to get another $5 code. My brother has my 3DS right now, so I don't even have anything I want to get right now that I can get, at least on Wii U. I wish COD BO2 just had DLC. I would have already bought DLC if it would have been on there...

How can people complain about money for nothing?

If you buy digital games then you get a rebate and money in your pocket for more games.

if you don't buy digital games then this doesn't affect you so why gripe?

Awesome! This is really great!

I think I will go with Trine 2, my only fear is that it is too easy for my taste.

So that only applies to purchases made this month? And, where do I find my Nintendo Network id? My Mii I am using for it is named tom. So is tom my Network i.d.?

Man, if they had this on the Wii, I would've had tons of free games. I probably spent over $500 on VC/WiiWare games.

sweet. already got 5$ and half way to another 5$. this is a cool promotion

Anyone complaining about ANYTHING to do with this please get some perspective! It's a reward programme, REWARDING those that purchase digitally!

If you don't want to purchase digitally, then don't do it! But don't complain about something that does not need to be given in the first place!

Sure, there are many ways it could be better, but where else do you see a console manufacturer running anything as rewarding as this?

@THENAMESNORMAN Actually Sony's Playstation Network offers, in my opinion, the best digital incentive program on any games console. Not saying that we should all start complaining about Nintendo's effort, but just bear in mind that the competition has an overall better structured service than Nintendo's at the moment.

Sees wii U credit option

Don't care, I don't buy much games on wii U shop anyway, this program is stupi-

Sees the option for 3DS Credit

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

No ones complaining so stop complaining... Haha. There's just not that much on the eShop yet, but once there is, it will be alot more beneficial.

where do i find my password on the wiiu?

well this is nice but i still get the feeling they will announce a US website for some reason =|

anyway i like this i might use it to get my pokemon radar with this xDD

@TheDreamingHawk You're program is stupid.

Im sure peeps will spend alot of money here. When it adds up over the months depending on what the limited time date stamp is im sure it will all be worth it.

Dec. 2014 the promo ends.

Hey sweet. I've got a nice discount already because I bought Tekken on Wii U.

I also want to know where are game codes sold! I haven't seen any of those in Europe...

NEED HELP!!!!!!!!! i cant seem to log in to the website i have a 32GB premium Wii U and a nintendo network ID, but when i try to log in it doesnt work i know my details are correct because i checked. have i missed something?

Works fine for me in Australia too!

@AlphaIchimoru But honestly, 5 dollars won't get you much in NA because there are no $5 games. On 3DS, it's a instant GB or NES game!

@TheDreamingHawk if you dont buy much games on the wii u eshop, how do you get the credit to use on the 3ds eshop?

Looks like they're calling the US version 'deluxe' instead of 'premium' and the page, which I found linked from Nintendo's main page is here:

https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe/

Prices are to high for me in the eshop, for example they sell fifa13 for 70 euro while i can get it for 48 euro new in box from a website.

@TheDreamingHawk But you can use that $5 to another WiiU title if you wanted (I payed $70 for NSMBU, I points, had $6 left over, then got the $5 back, so now all I need is a $50 card to get the next game)

I agree with Koto. (Way up top, #3)
