Interesting... Hopefully the new version of Club Nintendo will be better than it is now. I've been generally pretty unimpressed by it. Maybe we'll start seeing stuff like Wii games for Wii U or more schwaag like free Amiibo's for loyalty. Maybe they're going to try and mimic Playstation Plus which is a great rewards program imo. Here's hoping they call it "Nintendo Power!" lmao

I think it's going to only reward digitally, any I don't think it will be like PS Plus at all. Nintendo doesn't do subscriptions. It's going to be similar to Club Nintendo in that it will reward you for buying and probably getting others to buy their hardware and software.

Whatever it is, it won't be a separate thing anymore. It'll simply be an added feature to the Nintendo Network and be tied to NNIDs. You'll probably be able to access it directly on the eshop. And hopefully we'll see a NNID phone app with all this stuff in it.

After reading Iwata's quote from the quarterly report, its looking like its going to be along the lines of a discount program. This could be kind of amazing, especially with the way Nintendo is pricing its budget titles. If it does end up being some kind of discount program, I do have some concerns though... Nintendo is already having issues with 3rd party support when it comes to the Wii U. I personally don't see reducing a third parties profit margin on that console even further as a smart move. I wonder, if it is a discount loyalty program, if it will apply only to Nintendo IP's or if in the case of third parties, Nintendo's cut of the liscensing fee will be reduced to help intice third parties back to the platform.
