Bwahahaha! Oh, Nintendo. I think more game companies need to make with the crazy more often. I’ve been a member of Club Nintendo since it was made available to North Americans. Before then I was trying to figure out a way to join the Japanese one (who doesn’t like ‘free’ stuff?) and I was super duper thrilled when the NA roll out actually included Canadians!! Trust me, we get left out on these sorts of deals more often than not. Last year I forgot to input a game for the June deadline to trigger elite status but I think I’ll make it again this year. What’s Club Nintendo? Watch the video for the official explanation.
short version: buy Nintendo games, use the code to register, fill out the occasional survey, earn coins, redeem them for exclusive stuff. Here’s a large picture of the rewards chart. I’d give you larger pictures of the individual items but, honestly, they aren’t much bigger than that, which is very disappointing.
I have no excuse not to pick up Grill-off with Ultra Hand since I’ve got 480 coins just sitting there with nothing else I really want — the Game & Watch Collections are cool but saving up would take a while! They’d be great as collector’s items with some historical interest but not a ‘must have’ for me — aside from maybe the Mario 3-poster series. You earn about 30-50 coins from registering a game, so GOwUH (hehe) isn’t breaking the bank anyway. Next week I’ll give it a go!
Tonight I’m off to the last Leafs home game and tomorrow I will get to show off the photos from the awesome seats I had on Saturday to the horrific-nineTHREE-rows-from-the-back-wall ones I’ve got tonight. I still get to go so I can’t bitch too much :)

Agree with more crazy, but what is it about corporate produced crazy that always feels so sanitized? Another example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McLQx6R1QQo

It’s as if the writing comity all did Clorox shooters before a brainstorming session.
Not as odd as Record of Agarest War’s preview of their limited edition goodies.
While it is intentionally designed to be as odd as it is, I’m just impressed that stuff like this makes it through Nintendo’s internal processes to be released to the public. A calculated release, to be sure, but still a departure from their usual promotions.
Okay, somebody had to have been on some mind altering drug when they made that…
