Club Nintendo launched in North America a little less than a year ago, offering Nintendo enthusiasts some bonus rewards for purchasing Nintendo hardware and software, as well as for completing surveys. It's a unique program in comparison to what Microsoft and Sony are doing for their video game customers. Since it launched, Club Nintendo has offered about 12 rewards, annual Platinum and Gold Elite member rewards, and an advance preview of the Nintendo DSi before launch. But how does it compare to Nintendo's other Clubs worldwide?

Club Nintendo Europe is currently offering a selection of over 50 rewards and Club Nintendo Japan offers over 20 rewards. There definitely is plenty of variety in each, with Club Nintendo Europe offering the largest range of rewards.

What do you think about Club Nintendo in the US so far? Has it delivered for you? What are your favorite things about it or what do you wish it offered? Were you happy with the annual Elite member rewards? Have you been as enthusiastic as when Club Nintendo launched at the end of 2008? Let us know your thoughts with your comments below!

Grass isn't always greener Written by Guest on 2009-08-17 19:44:27 Note that about half the Europe catalog consists of desktop wallpapers and mobile phone wallpapers...all of which can easily be found for free via our good friend Google.    Having said that, I wish NOA would cycle some more items through the US shop.

It could be worse.... Written by Guest on 2009-08-17 21:03:18 Club Nintendo Australasia has 5 items and no gold or platinum rank rewards....    You guys have it ALOT better than we do....
