Nintendo Europe Stars Catalogue Gets Fans, Bags, Points

I need to start collecting more stars...

whaaaaaaa???? I would so totally rather have a sturdy-looking bag than a Game & Watch replica that I would probably get sick of after a single play.

OH MY GOSH. I WANT IT. I hope North America gets an orange one

@ Nintendolife: Nintendo points are available for years, not just since this update .

@L.Brown: but to the value of 100 points? that's pretty awesome if you ask me, you could totally get rid of any little remainders and stuff out of a larger denomination if you wanted, like if you bought 1000 points and wanted 1300 worth of games or something :3

@L.Brown I know that, I've bought countless points myself over the years, but I've never seen them available in 100 Point denominations before.

There was also a Mario 25 Anniversary coin that came in a very nice pouch but that seemed to sell out in seconds. But it's too difficult to get enough stars for most of these things and they expire after a short time, which really sucks. There's a few things on the catalogue I'd pay good money for if they'd just sell them in a normal store.

Wait that doesn't make any sense. The laptop bag isn't a platinum prize from another country (for those of you who don't get it, the SNES controller and Mario and co statue were both platinum prizes in Japan and America, kind of rough we have to pay 7000 stars for them and have no platinum prize of our own).

I get the 100 points only if I have a few stars expiring (worst feature ever) so they don't get to waste so they're one of the better items on the system.

The 100 point 'cards' have been available for a long time, at least here in the Netherlands. Great for those 200 point DSiWare games.

I've been redeeming for the 100 pointers for years too.

Hmmm, I like the bag, but it's not worth 7000 stars. They still have the Zelda statue available. Might try and save up for that.

I first started collecting stars when Gamecube was launched. Back then they didn't expire so I had 10s of thousands of points. Now they start expiring I save up all my cards and use them at once when I see something I like.

It's annoying you can't register two Wii consoles. I paid for them, why can't I collect stars for them?

100 points is available for a long time, i bought it in december as 250 stars would diappear when not using them before the end of next month

About registering twice, i also hated it bough mario kart and 1080 twice on cube for lan play.

7000? For a bag. Well, if you've bought enough games to get 7000 stars...(28 minimum...) I guess you could waste them all on that.

Lucky, I'd rather Nintendo Points cards then Game and Watches.

Luckys. Though I've noticed an increase of quality in prizes, anyone else?

I so would like the SNES controller.......not enough points. Nintendo should sell them though their site, they would make a few quid.

If I could buy Nintendo Points cards from Club Nintendo of America, all I would do would be buy Nintendo Points cards from Club Nintendo of America.

How come we can't buy points. I would so totally do that more then anything.

That bag looks amazing!! I would so buy that if given the opportunity....well, maybe not.....I have 1,000 coins and just need 200 more for G&W Ball. Unfortunately, I was quite stupid and went on a huge Club Nintendo buying spree thinking nothing too expensive would be added. Now there are so few games I can get points from since I own the vast majority of Nintendo Wii/DS games already

Trust me guys, the nintendo points aren't nearly as good as it sounds. You need to buy 16 wii games to get 1000 points worth. Its even more if you only buy DS games (20 for 1000points) , because they only give 200 stars per game (At most!)

damn it i dont have stars now because i ordered the golden coin a few days ago(got it today)
nintendo points are too expensive to buy=400 stars requires minimum 2 games or 1 console to get 1 euro
i prefer use my credit card to buy points from the UK wiishop 7pounds=1000 points which makes 8 euros(in german shop we have to pay 10€

@21 I'm confused by what you've said.

200 points means you need five games to get a thousand. If you wanted 7.000 points for the bag, you'd need 35 games. That's around £1,000 of actual money (assuming the average Wii game is £30). You can register for bonus stars if you buy the game two weeks from release. So that could shrink the requirements down to 28 games or £850 ish quid!

I am very tempted.

@killer6370. If it helps we pay over 10 Euros for our DSi points

Sometimes the Point-to-Reward ratio seems a little too rediculous for me.

i want that bag

Awesome!

@Zach same here
maybe that's why they won't give us nintendo points, then they'd have to think of something to do with their warehouse of trinkets.

Not ba- HEY WAIT A MINUTE!!!

Europe can use their Stars to buy Wii Points?! Where's that feature for the USA, Nintendo of America?! Lucky little...

aw man that trade stars for wii points ability is great!

other stuff is typical nintendo-branded average crap.

@ theblackdragon & James Newton:

As other already said it, 100 points were available since the start of this service .

@ Rondog: Don't forget that you also get 50 stars for every download game, even for the 2 which cost nothing.

I think I have most of my star vouchers around in the boxes. I haven't ever created a profile. The one time I tried to remove the sticker from a voucher (recently, with DKC Returns), the thing just simply ripped apart and was useless. |:-

@ Pod: Sticker? The field on the star voucher isn't a sticker. You have to clear the field with a sharp object to reveal the code^^.

i got the laptop bag&just looked on the buy club nintendo website its being sold for £69.99p

@Linkstrikesback ds games do give 250 points a lot of the time
