Update 2:
This soundtrack is now back on Club Nintendo in Europe, so act fast!
Update:
It seems that a lot of Club Nintendo members in Europe are desperate to spend their stars, as this soundtrack has disappeared again - supply not quite meeting demand, we suspect.
Original Article:
The end of Club Nintendo rapidly approaches - in the case of Europe product registration will end in April [update: only download game registration ends in April] ahead of the service (and its catalogue) closing at the end of September. Unlike the huge list of options - including download games - in North America and the various delightful treats on Club Nintendo Japan, the offerings in Europe have been pretty underwhelming to date.
Some positive news is that The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds soundtrack is back in Europe, having previously sold out. It's a pretty good deal, with 3000 stars getting you the following:
Double-CD soundtrack, featuring 89 tracks, plus 16 Milk Bar Musician pieces. The insert includes liner notes from the game's composer, Ryo Nagamatsu, and 12 score excerpts for you to perform at home.
The star cost is pretty darn good compared to some other items, with a Mario hat at 4000 stars being an oddly priced example. Unfortunately this isn't also available in Australia and New Zealand at the moment, with the re-stock evidently only arriving in Europe so far.
Will you be spending some of your farewell stars on this?

Will we ever be able to exchange our stars for games, in the E.U? That is what I would like to know.
I got it when it was last on Club Nintendo, I hope they release more soundtracks on Club Nintendo though before it is discontinued. I still think they should actually sell these soundtracks though because people clearly want to buy them
I hope I won't regret NOT getting this. I'm still waiting for something more special with my 8500 stars.
Anyway, I was able to register DK Country Returns Wii VC for 250 stars. LOL. Galaxy 2 and Prime Trilogy don't have a survey link yet.
ordered! will be late for lectures because of that
@luke88 Given that CN is closing down in the near future, it's unlikely they'll get around to putting game downloads on there in-time.
Club Nintendo doesnt really work for me so i cant order this :/ i dont think im gonna get the smash 4 soundtrack/mewtwo either :/
Awesome prize!
Grabbed it the last time but still have a fair bit of stars yet to sell. Hope more comes over the next 6 months before it all ends (there's always Wii Points I guess, do they work on the new eShop?).
Already ordered, finally something for my stars
@FX102A No, they don't. I tried.
@Jenraux They added games to the US Club Nintendo and theirs closes before ours does, so I don't see why they can't add games to the EU store.
I wasn't going to but since i have 12000 stars why not? The only other things i want is the Mario Kart 8 soundtrack and the Club Nintendo tshirt that's currently on the Japanese club. And maybe the build it Mario if i have enough. But yeah those first two i hope come. Give us those and i'll be VERY happy indeed!
Nice! The soundtracks are always very good (I'm enjoying my Smashing Soundtrack right now). I'm jealous!
Anyone know if dsiware point cards can be used in the 3ds eshop? Specifically for the old dsiware games? A free Shantae would be points well spent.
@Tsurii897 Sadly that will probably be the case. I was just pointing out that it isn't too late for them to add them, like someone mentioned above.
It would be nice to see them though, as a nice farewell gesture.
Hopefully the replacement for CN will be equal worldwide, so there's no better offers in different regions again.
Still 390 stars short.
And who here said that there isn't enough Zelda songs to do a Theheatrhythm? That's a crazy amount of songs just for one game.
I ordered this 5 weeks ago when it first became available and still didn't get it.
@Tsurii897 well, we did get Mario Power Tennis for the GBA
It's amazing that even with looming cancellation, the North American Club Nintendo still sucks the worst.
Saw this last time it was up and was wondering whether I should get it, next thing I know it was gone... Ordered it without hesitation this time lol.
@luke88
I'll answer your question with two words
"Points Cards"
Thanks for the heads up, I've just ordered it after missing out last time.
@manu0 Have you tried bugging Nintendo support yet? The bottom of my order confirmation email has this:
Please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery*
*If after 4 weeks you still haven't received your order, please send an email to [email protected], quoting your order number
@crimsontadpoles Yes I have, they told me to wait 8 weeks and if it hasn't arrived until then I should contact them again
@manu0 And then at 8 weeks, if it still hasn't arrived, you should wait until 12 weeks and then contact them again.
Oh great. They put something worthwhile on soon as I spend my points.
Just release a digital download nintendo. ugh
@Bushido_Fai Maybe
But my suspicion is that they will ship this OST and the Smash Bros. OST together (which I also ordered). Club Nintendo shipped unrelated orders together to me before.
Cant decide whether to use stars on this or wait and see what else turns up, decisions, decisions
This is great, I missed out when they first went up.
Even if I end up getting nothing for my stars, I'll wait for something I want.
I don't want to take it from someone that really wants it.
.. I hope we'll get one of those Mario Kart Trophies again. >_<
Sold out already, I think. At least in Spain.
I got mine the first time, but this will suck for anyone that missed it yet again.
No longer their anymore. Though just realised that Europe Club ends September were others end Clubs end before the summer. something tells me all the unique stuff that doesn't get sold in US & Japan clubs will head to the Europe Club Nintendo's.
oh I would love to be able to get that. I may see if someone is offloading theirs on ebay.
I got mine last week
Its already gone!! :( I have 9000 stars left dammit
Meanwhile in America...
Apparently it sold put within an hour. Hoping it's not a case of scalpers buying them to sell on....
@ryando : DSi Points Cards can only be used with the Nintendo DSi systems, Wii, and in the Wii Shop Channel in Wii U (but not the eShop).
I have 5000 stars. I hope Nintendo puts an amiibo up, just as a last farewell.
How irritating, I just looked at the site before checking the comments here! I want it!
Only got 4000 Stars and I love this soundtrack, should I go for it?
I have 4000 or something stars as well but cannot get one, since the stupid Nordic Countries doesn't have CN and those countries that have only ship to their own countries. (I've used UK, got wii points card that way but not possible with Wii U since you cannot change your country like you could with Wii)
...Dammit.
Missed it again. :/
Already spent all of my stars on a Game & Watch. Worth it.
I saw this at college and I thought I would have time to get it once I got home but nope, I missed it. Hope there will be something good to apart soon so I and many other can spend our points.
Already gone before I knew anything about it! Shame. Still waiting for bonus Smash CD. The promo info has disappeared from my Club Nintendo account banner. Mew still there though.
I'd really like some games to be put on there, VC and full retail games.
How is it already gone - AGAIN - in 5 hours!!! (
@dionysist Who knows how long it was up there before NL reported it.
@Finntendo I could help you dispatch to your country if you'd like. Currently living in Germany. I am missing 150 points for the CD, I can exchange them with a delivery, if the cd comes again (and you are interested).
@Portal_King why not? its gorgeous
would anyone be interested on sendint this abroad for me? I can pay the taxes + bonuses
damn I keep missing this
@EvilDrBA
Sounds interesting but then again, I am signed in UK's CN and I assume Germany has it's own?
But for your case, I have one unregistered game, I mean PIN for stars (Ninja Gaiden Razos Edge) - do you have WiiU? Can you message me thru there (you see my IDs in my profile).
@Finntendo
Indeed Germany is separated from UK (I have 0 points here, all in France). I have a nephew in UK, but it would take forever to get something back from him.
But surely someone UK-based can help you, after all NL is there. And you can propose your points there (I will get them eventually anyway , easier than to see the CD back). And no WiiU, only 3DS, and PC.
Still up in the UK, just ordered mine
@Plateface Must have been added again due to demand. I was able to order mine before commenting so I am glad I have mine now.
