Alright, I registered the 10 games I had that were set to lose coin value and now I've got 470 coins. So now all I need to do is wait seven days to get 10 post surveys and 100 coins correct?

Also, I just linked my Wii to the Club account, will I get surveys for the few VC/Wiiware things I downloaded a couple years ago too?

Ah yeah I figured, it wasn't much in any case. Where do the post surveys show up anyways, do I get an email about them or do I have to remember to check this to do list a week from now myself?

I had a weird issue where they were counting my old coins in and told me I had platinum status before I did. Thankfully I made sure to double check my account/elite status and realized that I still needed 150 more coins. Odd mess up though and Nintendo probably should fix it.

Call Nintendo and tell them you just linked your account and they SHOULD be able to transfer your old purchases over to your Club Nintendo account -- which SHOULD give you surveys for them. Other folks have had it work in the past, so you have a -chance-...

I emailed them about some 3DS games I downloaded before linking my account. They gave me the surveys no problem. I'd definitely try that.

Yeah, when your total available coins hits 600 it seems to do this. I recently had it congratulate me for reaching platinum status after I had spent my coins below 600 and then earned some to get it back above. At the time I had long since reached platinum for the year.

So I thought I had done this already, but apparently not. Just registered all my games. I'm guessing sense my console is a launch one it didn't come with the Club Nintendo PIN card thing. Is there a way to link it anyway? I see it says "Purchased after 2010" for registering a Wii.

No. ItB surveys will remain at 10 coins each. The only changes are to the registration coins (as per the list) and 3DS retail post plays dropping to 10 coins from 20.

Nope, if it was made prior to May 2010, then there is no way to get coins for the console.

You can link it so that you'll get any coins for Wiiware you download in the future, though. Just go through the linking procedure on the Wii Shop.

It was only Nintendo Video and Netflix which gave a month, and those don't have post-play surveys like the Pokedex and games do. If those weren't always a month this could be a sign that they are changing the time frame to complete registration surveys. I could see why they wouldn't change that immediately for everything else during the last month of the year if people are counting on getting their post-play surveys in 7 days.

Has anyone gone to register a new system this month, and without immediately completing the registration survey, checked to see how long it gives you?

I have 50 coins from Zelda OoT 3D. I don't have a post-play survey on my to-do list, so does that mean I missed the ItB? I thought I did it.

I've got several messenger bags, including two Nintendo-themed ones. (E3 years ago...)

You have 50 coins in one go? Sounds like you let the post play survey expire (you have 120 days to complete them). If you have one listing for 30 and another for 20 a little later, then you missed out on both the ItB and early registration bonuses.

I just managed to get 1210 (total) on my account. I had to rush, because 600 coins will expire on 6/30/2012 :(

So, i am in doubt between Game & Watch™: Ball and the Hanafuda Cards... i want something to put on display, and that somehow tells a little bit of Nintendo's history...

Wich one would you choose?

The Game & Watch Ball box art is beautiful and makes for a great display piece. The hardware is really cool too as it looks completely of the era.

I just wish it didn't have a frickin ESRB rating on the box.

Coins only expire after two June 30ths. So if you earned them all last week, they'll expire June 30th, 2014.

Click "Account & Coins" next to your coin total and then "Coins & Status" on that page and it'll tell you.

I got 50 coins in one go (I wanted the soundtrack CD) so I got ItB and early registration. Guess I missed the post-play. :(

They do send you an e-mail too; and if you have coins expiring, your counter at the top right changes around April sometime to show you that fact.

It's the best reward of the whole program so far, except maybe the SNES classic controller. The Hanafuda cards are really great too (don't mind the haters), but get them later.

Nope. Early Registration, as you describe, has always been a thing ever since the start of the program and is additional to the ItB coins. The NPC and Nintendo Selects titles never get Intend to Buy surveys, which is why you didn't see one, but all other Nintendo-published titles still do.

I've asked this before but never got a response. I'm very tempted to get the gray t-shirt with sprites from Super Mario Bros. Does anyone here have this tee and if so, is it quality/worth it? Otherwise I may get G&W Collection 2 (Ball G&W unit looks cool but...it's Ball which is incredibly boring and one of the worst G&W games). Also, I got my 3DS cartridge case last week and love it. Very tempted to snag another when they're back in stock.

I've found that sometimes branded T-shirts' sizing is off. As where I would typically wear a large in most other shirts, I've gotten a few where an XL was a better fit. Any notion of how the sizing is with that?

This is my experience as well. I'm medium/normal build but I buy all my branded tees in XL, dunno why they fit better in that size either.

Ah, I see. Didn't realize there was an additional bonus for early registration.
