Club Nintendo Offering A Real Game & Watch: Ball System

By Ishaan . February 9, 2011 . 11:02am

The North American division of Club Nintendo isn’t known for handing out the coolest rewards to its members, often outclassed by its Japanese counterpart, which seems to go to greater lengths to make signing up and registering your games worth the effort.

Thankfully, you can’t say the same for Club Nintendo USA’s latest reward — for 1,200 coins, they’re giving away a real, working Game & Watch: Ball system, reproduced to faithfully to match the 1980 original.

The objective of Game & Watch: Ball is to juggling balls and keep them in the air without dropping them. You move Mr. Game & Watch’s left and right arms using the orange buttons, and the challenge increases the longer you juggle.

The other new Club Nintendo reward on offer is a boring old reversible pouch for your Nintendo DS/DSi/DSi XL system, available in red and blue. Each one will set you back 250 coins.

How much is a coin anyway? Here in Europe we use the stars system, where every Nintendo game (and some selected third party games too, I think) will give you 200-250 stars depending on the price (it’s usually 200 for DS games and 250 for Wii games).
The prizes kinda suck though, so it’s usually better to just exchange them into Wii points, even if the exchange rate is pretty low.

Yeah most games are around 30-50 coins if I remember correctly, and doing an extra survey gives you an additional 10-20 coins or something like that. 1,200 is whole lot opo;

1200 is a lot of points.. I’ve registered tons of DS and Wii games and done those lame surveys and I think I only have around 1400 points.. I was aiming to get the two Game & watch collection on the DS carts, this is cool, but blowing all that on this seems a bit too much.. I wonder who actually got those remote holders, seem cool but kinda useless..

Obviously a good number of people for them to sell out multiple times (especially the Black one).

Oh man I never bothered with these register online things before since they don’t give out good bonuses, but this is too cool. :( Too bad. I loved this game on my Gameboy Camera. It was a blast.

Ahhhh *looks into the horizon*

awww mann, there’s no way I’d be able to nab that, I don’t think Nintendo’s even put out enough games this year to amount to 1,200 coins opo;

Wow, 1200 coins? I’m really glad I got one from the platinum Japanese Club Nintendo reward then. That is a lotta coin.

Not bad at all. Still I doubt they will ever be on par with the JP Club, heck even no brainer items like the SNES classic controller, Mario Galaxy OST’s and other sound selections were never made available to the NA Club, it seems they are really out of touch on what to offer. Browsing Europe’s store I seen cooler items that while requiring insane amounts of points are at least unique and desirable, like LE DS systems, and soundtracks.
