So UPS just dropped off a large cardboard box from Nintendo of America at my door.
I didn't remember ordering anything from NOA/Club Nintendo recently so I had no idea what it could be.

I opened the cardboard box to find:

With the following message attached:

"As a special surprise for being a loyal member, please enjoy this gift that includes a Wii Remote Plus controller, a copy of the Wii Party game, and more. Get your friends and family together for your own Wii Party, and get up and active with House Party games plus over 80 hilarious minigames.

Thank you for being a member of Club Nintendo!"

Here's what was inside the gift box:

-2 Mii Masks
-Wii Party Tip Sheet
-Wii Party Game
-Domino's Pizza gift card (not sure how much is on it)
-Pink Wii Remote with Motion Plus

I've been registering games on Nintendo's website/Club Nintendo since 2002 but I don't recall doing anything special recently....still it was a great surprise and totally made my day.

I love Nintendo!

That's really cool of them, though I didn't receive anything.

Maybe Ubisoft will send me that crazy sex party game that won't be released in North America?

But I don't play Ubisoft games...

The gift card contains $25.

What the hell!
So how many starts have you collected over the past year? What's your member status? I'm Gold and all I got was a little postcard calendar a few months ago.

Meier · Mar 30, 2011

I haven't been home yet but I doubt I got it sent. I usually hover in the 500-600 point range until I spend em. Just bought a tote for my girlfriend but the 3DS and Nintendogs got me back to around the 600 mark I believe.

OMG Aero · Mar 30, 2011

Sweet, Nintendo gave you a free Pizza and some stuff to trade in for Gamestop credit!

VeryGooster · Mar 30, 2011

Hmm, did I register Golden Sun: Dark Dawn?

Nintendo doesn't like me.

KevinCow · Mar 30, 2011

WTF Nintendo.

I love you more.

MatthewB92 · Mar 30, 2011

How many coins do you have OP? Want to know if it's based on that or date you signed up on the website.

AbsoluteZero · Mar 30, 2011

Neat. Even though this will be my third platinum, I'm sure I don't buy nearly enough games for Nintendo to notice me and send me a gift.

Oni Link 666 · Mar 30, 2011

I haven't gotten jack. I thought you loved me, Nintendo.

I think Reggie is looking for fans with $5000, an office, and a true understanding of your craft before he can send you a Fan Kit.

also, experience

Marvie_3 · Mar 30, 2011

UPS dropped something off at my place earlier today. Maybe this was it.

sixteen-bit · Mar 30, 2011

I received no such thing

Oops. I did a search but the other thread didn't pop up.
Good to know how much is on the card though!
Can't beat $100+ in free stuff!

I've been platinum since the program started pretty much.
I registered every first-party Gamecube and GBA game before Club Nintendo started and I have all but one Wii game registered (Pokepark) now that I have Wii Party.
I have 90% of the DS games registered too. I think I'm only missing the Nintendogs variants (meh), Custom Robo DS, Master of Illusion, Pokemon Black, and one or two others.

Club Nintendo makes collecting Nintendo games all the more worthwhile!

Crap... I want this. I used a friend's Wii Party code though...

Guess I won't be seeing this sweet prize.

dwu8991 · Mar 30, 2011

That's pretty cool reward, pizza + plus games + remote + mii's.

JPBrowncoat · Mar 30, 2011

I tried to register a game today and when I hit finish on the survey it just went to the top of the survey. No coins and when I reenter the pin is says it's been registered. =(

Edit: Actually the survey is still listed so I can still get coins.

Pyrokai · Mar 30, 2011

Nobody knows the criteria for getting this? I've given them so much of my moneyz they NEED to give me this

LayLa · Mar 30, 2011

and people said Nintendo couldn't give that game away in the US....

Yeah so just sink a few odd thousand dollars into a nintendo collection to claim your free wii party + pizza!

Murrah · Mar 30, 2011

Come on Nintendo, I registered Wii Music and Spirit Tracks - you owe me

Shed_a_Ninja · Mar 30, 2011

What are the requirements/prerequisites for this?

I platinumed every year.

Starwolf_UK · Mar 30, 2011

Pyrokai said:

So far it could be:
-Don't have Wii Party registered
-Have over 2xxx coins earned in Club Nintendo lifetime

Hopefully a website will pick up on it and contact an NOA rep...so 6-8 weeks.

Shed_a_Ninja · Mar 30, 2011

AniHawk also got it.

Lijik · Mar 30, 2011

Is it sad I hope I get this mostly for the pizza gift card?

jgkspsx · Mar 30, 2011

I'll be bummed if I don't get this. Not that I want anything in it, but just on the principle of the thing.

Gah, just passed 2000 with my 3DS and games! I want a special gift from REGGIE!!!

LiK · Mar 30, 2011

glad i didn't get that.

serious

Mdk7 · Mar 30, 2011

Woah that's really awesome!
The packaging is great!

mikeybwright · Mar 30, 2011

That's freaking awesome, I'm sure I won't get one but wow is that nice.

Boogiepop · Mar 30, 2011

Grr... I want this, but I'm sure I won't get it.

Ecliptor · Mar 30, 2011

Is it a Wii Remote Plus or a Wiimote with a Motion Plus accesory?

Looks like Nintendo is clearing some stock of the old remotes + attachment. Poor Reggie having to agree to Dominos cards

Keyser Soze · Mar 31, 2011

I hope NOE do something simila....

LOL, I will cut myself off.

AniHawk · Mar 31, 2011

Chico Terry said:

wii remote with wii motion plus.

i took it as a way to help clear stock out of the old controllers and overstock of wii party. funny enough, a friend of mine was a fan of mario party a decade ago and was bugging me about how i only had two controllers for the wii (and no party games). so this was strangely good timing.

free pizza is cool though. where wii party and the controllers cost nintendo a lot less than they would have cost me, 25 bucks is 25 bucks.

I think it depends more on the quality of the survey responses that you give. I meet both of those criteria and I haven't gotten anything, but I also tend to screw off and not really write anything on the surveys.

so what pizza you ordering tonight?

jgkspsx · Mar 31, 2011

I have 2360 coins and tend towards logorrhoea on surveys, so I might be in luck.

I intended-to-buy Wii Party for reasons I can't explain, though, so I may be SOL.

I will probably give away or sell every item in the box, though, so I guess I don't actually care

AniHawk · Mar 31, 2011

LiK said:

i'll probably hold off on it until i can get enough people together to share one.

Persona7 · Mar 31, 2011

I remember getting something similar right around the time four swords adventure came out.

It was the game, one wavebird, 4 GBA link cables and a pepsi coupon.

that's a much better deal.

except for the coupon. the fuck are you supposed to do with a pepsi coupon?

edit: they also did something with nintendogs about 6 years ago. somebody here got some sort of bundle.

Hylian7 · Mar 31, 2011

I need to go on a survey-taking marathon. I also need to possibly watch my door/mailbox for this thing if it's for some reason already coming.

D-Pad · Mar 31, 2011

Damn... This reminds me that I never registered DKCR, and that was a day one purchase. Never Professor Layton 3, neither... WTF! Got Pokemon though.

AniHawk said:

So when they bring back Pepsi Blue you can stock up before it's discontinued again, forever! lol

I'm on my fucking knees, Pepsi
