Some sad news today as Nintendo announced their plans to discontinue their Club Nintendo rewards program.
After more than six years of delivering fun Nintendo-themed rewards to its members, Club Nintendo is preparing to shut down. Nintendo’s loyalty-rewards program rewarded members with a variety of items, such as downloadable games, Nintendo posters or character figures in exchange for Coins that members earned by registering products or completing surveys. Club Nintendo members in the United States and Canada can earn additional Coins through the end of March, and can redeem those Coins through the end of June.

It's not all doom and gloom, however. Nintendo plans to announce a new customer loyalty program at a later date. In addition, Nintendo is going to add in a number of physical reward options for current members in February. They will also offer a number of downloadable games to members and will offer a free download of Flipnote Studio 3D to members throughout February.

The last day to redeem your Coins or access your account will be on June 30 at 11:59PM (PT).
