Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Good News to the European Wii Gamers on this site

First News

Content:

The deal is this: Nintendo customers in Europe have long had their own ghetto Club Nintendo. Every time they purchase and register a Nintendo product, they get star points. A lot like Japan's Club Nintendo, then, just without most of the cool stuff. Well, Nintendo Europe just made the process a lot more appealing: starting from today, you can trade star points for Wii points, which you can spend on all the Virtual Console games your heart desires. Feels strange saying this, but classy move, Nintendo Europe.

Comment: Sounds like something good finally happened to the european nintendo gamers/customers?

Edit: Apparently the website is down? Heavy Traffic, perhaps?

Edit2: Nope, it's down for "maintenance" 

In a completely unrelated news regarding SSBB

Edit2: While I am at this, here's one more... well, not bad news for PAL territory users, I guess

Nintendo told us that the omission of Smash Bros in the schedule does not confirm the game's delay, and yesterdays confirmation otherwise was simply a mistake.

"The Nintendo 1st & 3rd party Software lineup release schedule which was distributed by Nintendo on Thursday 6th December confirmed launch dates for Nintendo titles launching in Q1 2008," Nintendo told us.

"Nintendo also included some titles which were fixed for release beyond Q1 2008 such as Mario Kart Wii. All Nintendo software titles launching in Q2 2008 have not been finalised or confirmed to date."

So Mario Kart's still a goer (phew), but that means the Smash Bros. release is still very much up in the air.

Comment: Looks like Super Smash Brothers Brawl have not necessarily been delayed, although I wouldn't really discount it from happening sometime in the future.

Edit3: Looks like the website is back on, for now.



I am a PC gamer, and also have a NDS now, but without access to a Nintendo Wii until End of 2007.

Currently playing: Super Smash Brothers Brawl(Wii), Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer(DS), Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime (DS), WiiFit(Wii)

Games Recently Beaten: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Normal; Very Hard after the next DLCs become available)

Not really... the ratio is 4:1. So you need 2000 star points for an NES VC game. That's ridiculous, if you ask me.



Currently playing: NSMB (Wii) 

Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii), 
... and of course Zelda (Wii) 

Ah... my bad then. Well, how many star points do you get from a game anyway?

O..kay, I just thought this was good news because all your european users get before were wallpaper and ringtones, right? Maybe I should say it's an improvement, sorry if I mislead anyone.
