After becoming a gold member on Club Nintendo
this summer, my 2012 prize finally came in the mail. It is a 2013 Nintendo calendar set. One calendar features a monthly pull out, and
the other calendar is a regular pocket size calendar. I used to think Club Nintendo was a big scam
because you had to spend a lot of money on games and systems to eventually earn
a gift. But then I thought, at least
it’s better than nothing. I also
discovered that most of these gifts are also sold on E-bay and if I wanted one
so badly I could just go on there and buy one (for much less than having to
earn it as a gift).
I think Club Nintendo is basically for people
that just love Nintendo, and would have bought the games and systems
anyhow. It’s almost like a way for the
company to say hello to the Nintendo enthusiast community, and acknowledge
them. Every time you buy a game you have
to fill out a survey about your interests and dislikes, so in a way it’s like
they’re listening to us.
It would probably cost a lot of
money to improve it and have them give out better gifts, so I think its better
the way it is now than having to pay more for games to even out the costs of
their gifts. One could dream of course,
and imagine a Club Nintendo where better gifts were really exclusive and
limited. People would compete and try to
win them, and knowing how hard you had to work to earn them would make it fun
to collect. But then I think, I
already collect limited edition toys and sneakers, and if Nintendo did the same
thing too, I would never be able to sleep.
And Nintendo should be the last place I should worry about collecting. Now that’s the fun part.
