FYI, jedivulcan sent me this Nintendo support page:

And, today for some Club Nintendo members who are Platinum. More deets to come!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Now demos are locked as a Platinum reward? Wow.

 

[Branduil]

How are they deciding which Club Nintendo members who are Platinum?

 

[Blizzard]

I'm not even gold yet, it's going to be a long week. ;____;

 

[Neoxon]

Based Sakurai

 

[Tempy]

Platinum today; plebs on the 19th.

 

[maxcriden]

How are they deciding which Club Nintendo members who are Platinum?

It might be last year or currently. I'm guessing last year but we'll see soon.

 

[Madao]

oh shit, i'm platinum!

*goes to check*

 

[……forgetit]

oh shit, i'm platinum!

*goes to check*

I need a bonus code, remember I asked first lol

 

[Kyou]

They mean platinum last "year" right? It's only been like a month

 

[Rich!]

nintendo: "fuck you europe"

we don't have club nintendo tiers here.

 

[ultron87]

I was honestly a little worried we wouldn't get a demo. Not close to Platinum. No biggie. Unless someone want to give me a code.

 

[Nvzman]

Damnit, I'm only Gold

 

[Cramoss]

oh shit, i'm platinum!

*goes to check*

hey, bonus code!

 

[nrvalleytime]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS for being Platinum

In the long run, this matters little. But still a nice perk. Awesome bonus.

 

[botty]

I'm not platinum yet... but I was before. >_>

 

[Son Of D]

I know it's a NA stream, but anything said about EU?

 

[Anth0ny]

They should totally lock demos of highly anticipated games behind Platinum.

I'm serious. It's much more of an incentive to buy/register a bunch of games than the crappy rewards they give every year. E3 demos for Platinum members would be sweet.

 

[Aaron Strife]

I've gotten platinum every year since it started

If I'm not picked I'm gonna be pissed

 

[Gleethor]

So is this the code-begging thread?

 

[Zareka]

What about Europe? We don't even get the chance to be platinum.

Spoiler

EU wide demo today pls.

 

[Karsticles]

GOD DAMN IT, the one year I'm not Platinum. -_-

I love this idea. I'd probably never use my 3DS for anything else if Mario Maker or something had a limited use demo though.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Someone hit me up with a code

 

[Defect]

Am I supposed to check club Nintendo?

I seriously hope nothing like that happens here. Europe CN doesn't work that way.

 

[Elija2]

Goddamnit, I'm literally 30 coins away from Platinum.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Now demos are locked as a Platinum reward? Wow.

No....just some are getting it early.

Somehow limiting an advertising tool to your most enfranchised customers seems like a bad idea.

 

[Diddy Kong]

no code for me I was Platinum last year but only gold so far this year

 

[Jotamide]

Why not all platinum members? Everyone who gets that status has spent a fuckton of money in your games Nintendo, not cool.

 

[……forgetit]

I need a code guys.

 

[Blizzard]

I imagine they also basically DDOS'd their own Club Nintendo site by doing it, since everyone rushed to try to register codes or check.

 

[Cody_D165]

god damnit

I can't actually remember if I platinum'd yet this year

I wanna go check or register something because I think I might be literally like 50 coins away but the site is getting smacked hard

 

[zroid]

So is this the code-begging thread?

Every thread is a code begging thread

Spoiler

until I get a code

 

[Nirolak]

Damn I think I'm only Gold.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Select platinum members? What a load.

 

[celebi23]

I hope I get the email today. I did get the email for the special Tomodachi Life demo so, who knows...

 

[MrSaturn99]

I need a code guys.

Meeee toooo

 

[Bog]

You get 4 codes, too. So lots of begging to happen soon.

 

[friskykillface]

YESSSSSS, wait platinum for last year or this year?

now do exclusive wii u 2 week pre release if you show a receipt or proof for buying a wii u day 1 >

 

[Kyou]

Damn I think I'm only Gold.

They can't possibly mean currently. You'd have to have stockpiled codes or just recently bought hardware

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Think I'm Gold status

Oh well, I can wait a week

 

[Cbajd5]

remember potential people who get codes, if you give me a code i shall reveal to you a SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE

or give ya something cool

like ice

 

[Clov]

Hope they mean last year for Platinum.

 

[Busaiku]

Wait, so it's only for those that have hit Platinum this year?
Darn it, I'm a couple hundred away...

 

[pvpness]

Fuuuuuuuu... I'm 30 coins away from Plat, with registrations to spare. If I put it to plat today, I wonder if there's still a chance?

 

[KelpPlankton]

How do we check if we got the code for being Plat? And is it for plat last cycle or plat in this new cycle?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I guess I will request a code.

May I have a code please?

 

[CitrusStorm]

If I score, GAF, I'll pass on a code or two. Play it forward and all that.
