Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo to offer 'Loot Crate' subscription box rival

It's not too surprising that they would decide to empty some warehouses and join this profit train. They have the kind of history and fandom to make this a safe bet.

Depending on price and the merchandise itself, it could be huge. It's a smart move though.

If Nintendo is so stuck in the past why do they keep doing stuff like this before the other guys


The other guys don't really have the IP to do something like this.

The main factor will be the products themselves.
Club Nintendo always had some Nintendo-themed memorabilia, this would be a good replacement for those that want physical goods. I say that because I think the new membership program Nintendo will implement a more traditional club service with discounts and benefits that go towards sales and digital game releases. Has there been any news on whether they will use their own form of online currency or use local users' currency? I little off topic, but curious if there's anything that may have leaked...


Nope. And considering the fact that they made it a deliberate point to abandon the Wii's currency, I don't see them doing that again.
