Info On Club Nintendo Coming To America!
Club Nintendo, the Japanese consumer rewards program that nets users cool Nintendo gear was recently revealed to be coming to the the US, and now we have some more information on that. Nintendo executive vice president of sales and marketing, Cammie Dunaway, revealed in an interview with MTV...
"When you purchase a Nintendo product, you go on and you say that you've purchased a Nintendo product, you get points for that," Dunaway said. "You also get points for filling out surveys to talk about your experience with the product. You actually get points before you purchase, if you indicate an interest in purchasing... So it really helps us to gauge marketplace demand. As you collect points -- these are actually gold coins -- you're able to trade them in for real merchandise."
Nobody is sure yet what the merchandise will be yet, but the Japanese version often rewards Nintendo-themed DS cases, accessories, and even an updated version of Game & Watch for the DS. It was also revealed that apparently the US version will focus more on these physical goodies, as compared to the European version, which is all about the digital downloads.

Stupid digital downloads. Stupid being European.
