Club Nintendo!

Ok, So I have been a gamer since the beginning...well, not quite pong - but close. Our first system was Nintendo. The very first one. Kinda makes me feel old. The first games we had...Mario and Duck Hunt, I actually think it came with the system...remember the gun that you could just about shoot in any direction and still hit the targets?

Well my gaming addiction filtered on to my younger brother, who is nine years younger than me, and took it to a whole new level. He had everything. Literally. Every time a new system came out, he had it. Every new game, he got. And now that he's 20 - it's grown even further - to online gaming. But he's still into the old school games too.

Now, that I have kids of my own, the gaming addiction has filtered down through, and Ben is now a huge gamer. Though he's learning old school! You need to know the older stuff to appreciate all the new advances right. His system of choice right now...Super Nintendo - Yup, we still have a working one (It's my brothers...shhhh he doesn't know I borrowed it) . And his favorite game? Super Mario All Stars. He could spend every waking hour playing Mario, so much that for his 5th birthday this coming May - We're throwing him a Mario Party, and we're actually going to try to replicate this cake.

Well, some how, some way, a rewards club escaped my radar! Club Nintendo. While I was checking out the Nintendo Website a bright red Mario Hat caught my attention. Well, being the Gamer/Rewards Club freak that I am, I had to check it out.

Did you know that you can earn 'coins' for Nintendo products that you register? You can then trade them in for cool rewards! I joined today, registered Ben's DS, and 2 of his games and did one little survey and I already have 90 coins! Super Excited! (If he had a DSi it would have been a lot more points) So I may have boost his Wii Savings (NO we don't have a Wii yet, See this post to find out why) So we can get one sooner, register it and earn some awesome rewards! As an added bonus, when you register your products, you extend the warranty for an extra 90 days!




Now, I have my eyes set on earning this Game Rack. It's only 600pts so a very reachable goal! Especially if you open a family account. (You can earn even greater rewards when you collect enough points...having a family account will definitely help this happen)

I'm was so excited to find this, that I just had to share it with all of you! Happy Gaming!
