Topic: Club Nintendo Rewards. ^_^

Gonna see what the code was for the game, you are suppose to get a code for the theme, it even says it on the games banner on the eshop, you got to look at the receipt and it will have a code for the theme, happened with two other games I got before so it should work, and Webby even got it,

Well I sent customer service an e-mail inquiry.

Trying to redeem AC, and it says I already redeemed my reward....
Ugh, this CN system is bonkers.

So if you buy both versions of super smash brothers four you get a soundtrack that they could have sold in stores and a additional charactor that could've been put on Nintendo eshop for 99 cents. That was definitely a scam.

So showing support for games and getting stuff back is a scam?

So, you don't like getting free stuff?

Eh, scam or not, it's a little late to complain, since the promo already ended.

And Club Nintendo too.

Do you really think it's worth buying two full price games just for a soundtrack and one character?

Well I wanted both games anyways, having these extra things is the icing on the cake, is something to give back to the hardcore fans.
Also the CD isn't for purchase, pretty sure it was said that there was some songs on there that couldn't be sold or so I heard, 99 cents for Mewtwo seems too cheap for the hard work Sakurai put into the character, I am feeling glad we even get him for free!

Not really free though, since you had to buy two games and there are copies of the soundtrack on eBay right now.

Well you get the point, you can have two games and get the character included, or you can get one version and pay $4 for him...or a bit more if you missed out on the promotion. Also Ebay is a online store where anyone is a seller...so your point is invalid, it ain't no Wal-Mart.

I finally got my prize.

So pirating games is legal because <made up reasons> and it's a rip-off to buy a product and receive said product, plus a small bonus. Your new account is on a roll here.

It's just a way Nintendo thought of so that people buy both versions.

I got the code in the end, I just had to keep trying.

Was going to get tropical freeze, but dunno what happened.
Went AC instead.

I did not say Nintendo was the one selling them on eBay.

Do us all a favor and just get out of here if you are just here to cause trouble.

Not quite. Plenty of people were planning on buying both the 3DS and Wii U version of Smash Bros. (since the 3DS one came out quite some time before the Wii U one came out), so this was just something that Nintendo threw in for a little bonus for those buying the console version of it. I don't know why anyone would go out and spend $40/$60 (depending on the version you're missing) to get a $3.99 character for free, so Nintendo didn't do that to make people go out and buy it, but reward those already buying both versions and even persuade those on-the-fence about buying the game again.

As for the soundtrack, it's a nice little bonus that was added in as well. Sure, Nintendo could have thrown it out in stores, but they would have had to constantly make copies and worry about how they'll sell, whereas with them throwing it in as a bonus, they could just make enough for everyone who's redeemed the codes for both versions of the game. If you really want the soundtrack, eBay will be your best bet for getting a copy.

Scam - a dishonest scheme; a fraud.
I don't see how this was a "scam" at all, as Nintendo didn't falsely advertise anything or promise something that people didn't receive. Maybe might be unhappy with how exclusive they made the soundtrack or the inclusion of a free character after buying both games, but that doesn't turn it into a scam. After all, Nintendo could have just not included anything at all for owners of both games.

Anyway, it's sad that Club Nintendo is just about over now. I just redeemed Metroid II, the last thing I'll ever be able to get from it. While other regions might have had better reward options than NoA's did (I'm looking at you, Japan), it was still a nice program that I'm glad was available to us. Its physical rewards were really nice and practical (those blue and maroon DS pouches, I bought one of each and use both since they're actually pretty cool), and being able to get eShop games with coins is great, too.

If you wanted Mewtwo but didn't want both games he's available for purchase. Th CD is for those who bought both games, those people probably wanted both, like me and my friend. The CD isn't worth much, but its a gift to those who supported both versions, as well as the Mewtwo code. You seem upset that these things aren't available unless you buy them online now because you probably didn't get them. Nintendo did not force anyone to buy both versions and I'm pretty sure the CD and free Mewtwo code swayed very little people.

Finally got tropical freeze! The site was frustrating but the thank you message was very nice
