Free-To-Play Tank! Tank! Tank! Gives You Club Nintendo Coins and Stars

@123akis It is pretty cool actually, will play it for a while tonight.

im amazed people have only just realized this (although im in uk so i did this ages ago)

This news makes me this happy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bWHPxCyB2w

Never downloaded it (and probably won't now either), but it's no surprise. That Wii Street Google Maps app also gives you 50 stars, even though it's completely free.

Crap I have stuff on my club Nintendo to do list I didn't know about.

Yep, I downloaded it yesterday. Despite its repetitive nature, I do think it's a blast but I'm glad I don't have any obligation to pay for it. I probably will eventually add a mode or two though only because the 3-a-day restriction annoys me.

EDIT: Just completed the survey for Tank! Tank! Tank!, now I have 170 club points including the 20 I just added for VC titles. Yay. ^_^

Usa Vs Europe... and Europe lose again! Even when we talk about Club Nintendo!
Just compare this...

I thought the article would have said "Tank advantage while you can".

Seems legit

@andreoni79
You cheeky barstool!

@andreoni79 You guys have the SNES Classic Controller though. That's awesome. Wish we had that here in the ol US of A :c

@TreesenHauser ... but you have games and they are very cheap!
@SetupDisk ... and my english is not good enough to understand your funny insult

got it already and also i wonder if i will get the 5$ coupon on the digital promotion Hmmm must wait till the site updates my recent purchases

@andreoni79 Touché...

I'm almost at 1200 to get the game and watch!

So it is free-to-play, but is it the full game?
I can't believe that if it was!!!

Hey @andreoni79, I'll trade you a game code for one of those neato controllers! (j/k)

eShop is down right now. Well at least for NA...

@andreoni79 WOW, USA Club Ninty wipes the floor with ours!
I really just want the golden nunchuck; have 8000 stars ready

@TreesenHauser
we need 7000 stars to get that controller, that means 28 retail games (250 stars for each one) or 7 WiiU!!! how many coins do you get for a 3ds/WiiU game?
Europe pays 5 times the same reward!!! Game & Watch Ball 1200 coins VS 7500 stars!!!

@andreoni79 Ouch.

Tank is worth the 8 quarters ($2) as an easy to pick up multiplayer arcade game.

It's a nice diversion. Most of my game playing is with other people, so the more titles that are multiplayer the better!

I know I'm boring you americans with a little stupid problem but it's just unfair... You get Super Mario 64 for answering 4 surveys and we have to buy 6 retail games for that shoelaces! (... the end)

From the review: "...and a high price tag keep it from being a hit."

So now that it's free is it a hit? I mean the reviewer went out of his way to write "high" price rather than just "for the price" so the money must have mattered.

@andreoni79
Hey man, I just wish we could use our "coins" to get shop points or soundtracks! I ended up buying the Mario Galaxy soundtrack on eBay I wanted it so badly.

@FiveDigitLP
If the 60 coins = 50 stars conversion is right, that cd should cost you 4620 coins (or 5820 for the deluxe version)...
Can some tell me exactly how many coins do you get for a retail game? I just wanna be sure of it before sending a mail to NoE. Thanks!

@andreoni79
I never noticed the lack of VC games on the europe shop. That and prices actually makes the na one better. I would love the option for that wii snes vc controller though.

there are much wanted items on club nintendo? hadn't noticed...

If I owned a Wii U I would certainly take advantage of this opportunity.

@andreoni79 ours was not always good. And the games we can get are mostly dsiware, wiiware, and vc games. So they are not new games that came out recently.

60 free play coins? I'm confused.
Well anyways, if this means Club Nintendo coins then this will finally put me over platinum status.

The eShop was down for me earlier this morning, but it went up again. I was able to grab the game and the 60 coin survey.

Thanks for the heads up!

@rjejr I was that reviewer! I'm not sure what the pricing is on the game now other than parts of it are free, but $60 was FAR too much for what they were offering. As long as they're charging $10 or below it's a good deal for what it is.

Hangs head in shame Only just noticed this now along with 17 other items I have yet to clam star points from. Ah well.

@andreoni79
Well, used to we got 50 coins for registering a new Wii game, but last year they went through and changed the rate depending on the game. Still, I believe most retail games for the Wii U are 60 and most 3DS games are 30-40. Also, I don't know how NOE does things, but here we have the initial coins for registering it and then post-play surveys (as well as some for registering early) that give you 10 coins per game.

At any rate, you can go to the below link and click on "How Many Coins Will I Earn for Taking Surveys?" under "Product Registration & Surveys" to get a detailed description.

I downloaded it and the Kong DLC since it's 80% off. :3

HELP!!!! How long am I supposed to wait for the survey? I'm worried. I downloaded it, but no survey came up.

@Funny_Moblin
Strange...mine showed up while the game was still in the process of downloading. Keep us updated! Hope they didn't remove the coins already.

@GooRoo

Oh...no...fingers crossed...so earlier in the day, I started downloading the game, but shortly realized I had to go, so I cancelled it and left. When I came back recently, I began downloading it again...it's still downloading but no survey yet...

I think I made a stupid mistake. I don't get games very often, and I was hoping this would be the game that knocks my status up to gold.

I think I made a very stupid mistake.

Tried the free-to-play version, but I just didn't feel compelled to purchase the addon content.

so anyone know the file size for this?

So I called Club Nintendo support, and they said they do not give out coins for the free download of Tanks! Tanks! Tanks! .....

I might get Tank!Tank!Tank! along with some of the DLC this weekend.

So, you don't get coins for downloading it? Plus I bought and downloaded Super Mario World and I haven't gotten a survey for it yet. I want some more coins.

Yeah, I downloaded this and haven't gotten coins. Other people seem to be having this problem too. What's the deal? I didn't get coins for Wii Street U, either.

@DerpSandwich same for me

@andreoni79 In addition to what @FiveDigitLP said, we also get 160 coins for registering a Wii U or 3DS.

I feel bad for people who paid $50 for it... As a free game (or arcade game) it's fine.

I'm guessing it was an error and they've took it down. I knew I should have done the survey last night, but I didn't get around to it. 60 coins down the drain.

@Azikira I did that too $2 (for now) to remove the play limit and My Kong is actually kinda fun!

This game... I did not like.

I'm not registering my Wii U until July since I already have Platinum Status. If I DL this now, could I still get the coins for it in July?

of course! if its free why not even to at least try it

I think they fixed it before I could get in on it.....

Seems like they did fix it. Damn shame, but as long as I've downloaded this, I may as well give it a try.

wow this game sucks e.O the controls are just ugh and each time telling me "enemy behind" like i know <.<

yeah, i'd buy the dlc if this game was less annoying.

yeah same here or if it had online multiplayer it seems like it would of been fun that way

aw its fixed? :l

From what I'm reading in the forums, Nintendo has rescinded this offer. Apparently it was a mistake on their part.
