I agree, the CC is already SNES-inspired so it doesn't add THAT much, except for its awesome look. Though perhaps an N64-shaped one might help...sp0rsk said:I decided, I'm not a fan of the SNES controller, and I already have 2 Classic controllers so I'm getting the platinum soundtrack.
Can you do that to NOE, as well?HomShaBom said:I'm going to load a car with explosives and park it at NOA.

Slacker said:How do you get points? Buying games? How many do you have to buy to reach the platinum level over there?
Wait, it is!?!? Fuck you up the ass NoA!!!traveler said:I didn't realize the OST was FULLY orchestrated. I guess they went back and rerecorded some of the tracks not orchestrated in the game; that's pretty awesome.

Thank you for the attitude, it is much appreciated. Now, in case you didn't make it through my whole question, I'll rephrase: How many games do you have to buy to reach the platinum level? I understand there are circumstances that affect the points you get for each one, but I'm just curious about a ballpark estimate. We talking 5 games? 25 games? 50? More?thetrin said:Alright, this question has been asked and answered at least 4 times in this thread already, but I'll say it again, as no one actually reads before posting.
Each game you buy has point cards in the box. The point cards have a 16 digit alpha-numeric code that you enter on the Club Nintendo site once you log in. The point value of the game depends on how old the game is, and how expensive it was originally (systems yield more points than games, for instance).
You need 400 points between Oct 06 and Sept 07 to hit Platinum status.
Oh yeah, and I picked the SFC controller. I can't wait.
TJ Spyke said:God damn, this is the price we pay in America for getting games cheaper than other regions. Japan gets cool stuff like this, and even Europe gets points to spend on stuff (or to turn into Wii Points).
I want that soundtrack, and a SNES version of the Classic Controller.
How hard would it be for Nintendo to set up 1 worldwide program? Even let you register multiple copies of a game (1 NA and 1 PAL for example). It would get more people to participate and would be a minor boost in sales (since someone might buy a copy of Brain Age 2 from all 3 regions for example). Or at least sell some of these Club Nintendo items online.
IT JUST IS OK NOW SHUTUPLee N said:How is piracy the answer?
TJ Spyke said:At the very least they could set up a Club Nintendo type program in each region. I want stuff like OST's, not crappy stylii. The only good items that MyNintendo ever had were "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Ocarina of Time Master Quest" and "The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition".
AniHawk said:MyNintendo never had Master Quest. That was the preorder bonus for TWW (and it was fantastic).
titiklabingapat said:Fucking Nintendo. Japan snubs SMG yet you reward them with an OST compilation and NA will probably buy the bulk of SMG sales and all we got was a measly coin.
swerve said:Edit: so in answer to your question, somewhere from seven early registered Wii games to twenty late registered DS games in a year. Or more likely a mix of the two. The neat thing about the annual presents is that they don't actually cost you points - you can have used all your points up on other stuff, but you keep a running tally of 'this year's points' which is used to decide if you made it to platinum status.
Thanks for the heads up. I thought I'd have to splurge on eBay. Normally I don't buy anything during the time when its easy to get them, but this time, most definitely.GhostSeed said:Just a heads up NCS has pre-orders up for both the controller and soundtrack.
