Nintendo Goes All Digital With 2014 Elite Status Club Awards
If you own a Nintendo console, Club Nintendo is something you should be aware of. By registering your console and game purchases, you can earn coins to spend on limited edition goodies, but they also have another purpose.
By racking up 300 coins between July 1 and June 30, you’ll earn Gold status for the year. Hitting the 600 mark boosts you to Platinum.
At the end of each year, Nintendo offers loyalty rewards, which have included posters, soundtracks, and other physical and digital items in the past. This year, the company is sticking with digital offerings.
You can redeem your status for one of a number of games, some of which are exclusive to Platinum members.

You can redeem your reward by heading over to Club Nintendo and logging in. If you’re Gold or Platinum, you’ll be prompted to select your free game.
Our Take
Nintendo’s loyalty offerings continue to put a smile on my face, and this year’s move is exceptionally smart. Going digital saves on production, packaging, and shipping in a time when every bit will help Nintendo right the financial ship.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
