General Questions

Will Club Nintendo be replaced with a new loyalty program?
Nintendo of America will be announcing a new customer loyalty program at a later date.

Why is Club Nintendo ending?
We've decided to discontinue the Club Nintendo program in order to focus on a new program for Nintendo fans. Club Nintendo replaced the previous My Nintendo rewards program in December 2008. For the past six years, Club Nintendo has been a great way to reward our loyal fans with free games and items. We're always looking for fun new ways to interact with our fans, and we hope to share additional details on a new customer loyalty program soon.
