So. What did you guys order in this last club nintendo month?

I ordered the Super mario 3D world, Mario Kart 8 and ending credits soundtracks.
Spend the remaining stars on a code for Fire Emblem: the sacred stones (which I just used. Downloaded it for my Wii-U)
and two random backgrounds

Nintendo Australia just tweeted that the program has been extended to October 8th due to the site issues - guess that applies to Europe too.

At least that is good news for people with leftover stars.

Do you honestly think the new program will start before December or (despite what they're saying) next year? The fact that you have to register to get infos about the new program as soon as they have some is proof enough the new system isn't ready yet.

Nope. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this is the schedule.

Q2 2016: New Club Nintendo*
Q4 2016: NX Launch
Q1 2017: Mii App for smartphones

*i hope this is the actual name!

I don't know, I think this was what they said back in January when they announced CN being closed, right? It seems more like a formal statement to me. Also, if we take what Iwata said a few months ago, details of the new programme will be shared this month, at the Investor Meeting.

Given the new program is meant to link to mobile devices I'd like to think it'll be out when the NintenDeNA game comes out which was this year.

So I take it whiles the star catalogue is still up you are unable to register products. In typical bad timing I got an Australian copy of Freakyforms Deluxe today (man those slightly slimmer Australian cases are weird...then it dawned on me that it is probably our EU cases which are still a bit fat) and would have loved to give away that code.

The credits CD, a download code I gave away here and two useless wallpapers.

Okay, yeah, forgot about that. But my actual point (that the few extra days of the Stars Catalogue won't affect the release schedule of the new program) remains. :p

@Starwolf_UK: Really would have loved that Song Selection as well. I'm still a little bitter I couldn't order it just because the stars redemption page didn't work properly anymore. But oh well, what can you do. I've used my last stars to get the three 3DS themes, as well as Art Academy Sketchpad and the Luigi ringtone set I'll never use, lol.

I asked the support if they could somehow take my codes and load them onto my account. A simple no would be fine but they again are trying to feed me with "lies". "The registration for stars is long gone" was the answer. They also tried to tell me that the New XL Monster Hunter Bundle includes no starscode (I had none, all my friends had a Monster Hunter 4 starscode). After I told them I never even received an answer...
Regarding Club Nintendo my experience with the support was horrible over the years. I was still able to get some cool stuff but I hope in the future this will be handled better (no expiration of points or whatever we get and maybe more communication regarding the programm via Social Media or something like that.

The time for registering stars had gone. We just got lucky that some codes still worked but, officially, it ended in March. That information was clearly conveyed forur months.

When did you buy your Monster Hunter 3DS? It could have been a later reprint that didn't have stars because the official time to register them had passed. If you bought it at launch then you should have got the stars.

Nintendo reinforced those actions by adding last minute gifts.

Nintendo also made it very clear that the Goodbye Coin was the last reward so there was no need to wait so long to buy things.

They are half right because their FAQ folder tells them that hardware no longer comes with CN codes since the N3DS launch which is probably what your CS rep was thinking of without considering a code for the bundled game. This is a case of them knowing less than you do and not bothering to properly check.

They added "last minute gifts" over a month (or two months?) ago. There was plenty of time but everyone had to wait until the last handful of days. Everyone. Saw it on twitter and on here.

It was the New 3DS XL with Monster Hunter. We bought four units on release and mine was the only one that had no stars code. But honestly, no harm done. I was thirsty for the Goodbye Soundtrack and often I was disappointed by them in this regard (my Prof. Layton vs Phoenix Wright also had no stars code, etc.). Still I am not mad or anything, just hoping for better communication on their end.

I was in contact so often with their customer service and it is just crazy that even their own people always tell different stories. Sometimes I feel I am part of a Nintendo Defense Force, but it can´t be that one rep tells me they can only help me if I can´t register my codes (in September) while the next one tells me the registration is long gone. It is just a chain of unlucky events and I hope in the future it will be better (for me, if I am the only one^^)

So trawling through the blog of neamedia it turns out there were 5250 made available for Europe of the first batch of Luigi's Mansion statue.

Maybe that explains why you'll be able to find it for a few quid in a couple of years time :p

In case anyone wondered looks like Neamedia made the Goodbye Coin and the Captain Todd lamp along with other things. Rather ominously they say:
Neamedia is proud to have followed the publisher to the end of this loyalty programme and is delighted to help prepare for the next step.

I wouldn't read into that too much as they have made non-Club Nintendo things like the MK8 Blue shell, the 50cm MK7 trophies (along with their 12cm Club Nintendo versions) and the Pokemon ORAS legendaries.

Maturity, bitches.
Their site has had a bit of a redesign. Most obvious change is the removal of the Club Nintendo link. But also Amiibo have taken place as the obvious third pillar of their business.

Looks like they made it mobile compatible.

Yet not 3DS compatible. The thing breaks down under the weight... Boo!

My ending credits soundtrack just arrived !
Bit of damage to the box. Probably thanks to the post packaging.
Book and CD are fine though. Especially the inclusion of the book makes it a nice addition to the collection.

Two more soundtracks to wait for.

Received my club nintendo soundtrack so happy :)

I like that it's based around a theme, they should make more albums like that.
