Club Nintendo Finally Coming to America
Posted by Mark Wilson at 10:20 PM on October 3, 2008
America will soon join Europe, Japan and some other lucky folks and have access to the elite Club Nintendo...club. Sure, it's a Nintendo marketing ploy to get users to register products and fill out surveys, but Club Nintendo is also the only outlet to buy the most sacred, extra limited edition Nintendo gear. We'll keep our ear to the ground and let you know when registration begins, but until then, check out this awesome SNES Virtual Console controller that was offered earlier this year by Club Nintendo Japan. Pretty great, right? [Kotaku and image]

If it's anything like the European version, the best you'll be able to get is some 500-point Wii cards in exchange for registering about $1000 in purchases. Assuming you can get the cards before they sell out, of course.

I have a snes controller already, wired to my parallel port :D. Works great. Uses the "DirectPad Pro" interface.

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: yeah i'd be pretty pissed if the games i registered meant nothing.
i got one of those snes controllers on ebay and it's so much better than the retarded 'classic' controller.

Only great if they offer dedicated fans who have been registering since the early days some kind of reimbursement. If they reset everything, that would just suck DK's balls. >_<

I have one of those Wii Famicom controllers and LOVE IT, i just wish they would do this with the NES and N64 controllers now.
