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. |

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. |
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.
