Review: 1080° Snowboarding (Wii Download – No, N64 games aren’t on the Wii U eShop yet!)

It would seem I’m not the only Infendo staff member who has recently had 1080° Snowboarding on my mind, as our very own Colin included the game and its successor (1080° Avalanche for the GameCube) in a list of “The Forgotten Franchises” (forgotten by Nintendo, it would seem, but not by us!). Now the game is currently available on Club Nintendo at a cost of 200 coins, and I feel t...

New card cases hit Club Nintendo

If you listen to Infendo Radio, you may know that I’m quite keen on Club Nintendo, a rewards program for fans who register their games and systems and take surveys to earn coins that can be redeemed for downloadable games and physical goodies. Today the service saw the addition of new Nintendo 3DS game card cases for 400 coins per “set.” A set includes a card case in the shape an...

3DS XL charging cradles sell out at Club Nintendo

Earlier this week, Club Nintendo had teased that multicolored 3DS XL charging cradles would be available; each cradle would come in five different colors with a Club Nintendo price of 500 coins. Within a hour of its initial release, the charging cradles were officially sold out. No word from Club Nintendo on whether the multicolored 3DS XL charging cradles would again become available. But given t...

Club Nintendo (of America) to add colorful Nintendo 3DS XL charging cradles on Halloween

Although Club Nintendo has offered fans some really awesome stuff in the past, I can’t help but admit that the rewards service has been suffering from a bit of a drought for some time now. The Pikmin 3 tote was a nice addition, but I tend to prefer practical items that work with my hardware, such as the Nintendo DS Lite sleeve from a while ago and the Wii remote holders, which are still avai...

For anyone that receives email updates from Nintendo, this is likely something you have already seen.  For those that missed it or do not receive email updates, Nintendo is running a short promotion on the eShop.  An important note: this promotion is only listed for the Wii U eShop, not the 3DS one.

Club Nintendo Japan…is Why We Should All Move to Japan

Club Nintendo’s been around for a while now. We’ve all (or at least I hope we all) have been punching those first-party game registration codes into the site for years in hopes that someday, some amazing reward will catch our eyes. Don’t get me wrong – there are some great rewards on the U.S. site, but a quick Google search yielding Japan’s Club Nintendo site demonstr...

Club Nintendo gets new rewards, a reason to spend your hard earned coins

One of the best things about being a Nintendo fan is that the way the company cares for its customers. From the giving out free games to all those 3DS Ambassadors out there, to giving away free stuff via the Club Nintendo program, Nintendo does a lot for customers that many other video game companies do not. One knock on the Nintendo of America Club Nintendo content is that the freebies are not qu...
