Nintendo har annonceret, at de så småt vil begynde at lukke ned for deres Club Nintendo-belønningssystem.
Konsolproducenten har kørt med forskellige loyalitetsprogrammer siden 2002, hvor de lancerede VIP 24:7 og Club Member, der begge i 2007 blev sammenlagt for at skabe Club Nintendo. Et nyt program er på vej senere på året, men det eneste vi ved på nuværende tidspunkt er, at alle der tilmelder sig programmet vil få et gratis eksemplar af Flipnote Studio 3D til Nintendo 3DS. Her er Nintendos tidsplan for de kommende måneder:
"April 1st 2015: From this date, Nintendo will no longer include product registration cards with its packaged games, so such products cannot be registered in Club Nintendo. You may still find product registration cards in games that were in stock before this date, however.
April 20th 2015: Termination of the registration of digital products downloaded from Nintendo eShop. Digital products obtained from Nintendo eShop after this date will no longer appear in the My Registered Games & Systems page in Club Nintendo. In addition, surveys for download software titles will no longer be available.
September 30th 2015: End of Club Nintendo programme. All Club Nintendo features, such as signing up as a new member, logging in as a registered member, earning Stars, and exchanging Stars for items from the Stars Catalogue will no longer be possible from this date."
