Club Nintendo's replacement

Now that I actually have stuff to say, it's gone.
And when is the new program coming?
They said Fall 2015...

Well Zero said it's supposed to be sometime this month:

Well, personally I wonder if what ever is coming will be revealed at either the end of this October or the beginning of November since November is usually when sells are most likely the best. xp

Most likely I'd think that it's going to be revealed at the end of October & get launched in November would be my best guess, since usually Nintendo tends to release a crap ton of stuff before Christmas hits & my guess [as Queen already stated] is that November/December is their best selling month's.

Moved this to Nintendo Exclusives.

Really, I expect it in November or December, but I really don't know anymore.

I very much recall them specifically saying October, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's supposed to be coming this year.

Really what I wonder is how close it'll be to Club Nintendo. Will we still be doing surveys? Will we still be registering games with codes? Will it be connected to Wii U and 3DS? I know it was stated before they wanted to try a program where you could pay a larger fee at the beginning of the year and get games throughout the year as they release, that's be pretty interesting.

You mean how M$ has Xbox Live, & Sony has the PSN services that you pay for & get free games once a month? I haven't bought into either service so I don't think I'd buy into Nintendo's either. Usually a game never drops for free that I want for either system so it's usually a waste of money for me.

Sort of like that, but I think it was more like Netflix, where you'd have access to their new games as they release as long as you pay the fee. I'll see if I can find the quote for you, it should be floating around the internet somewhere. xD

Well Sony is doing that already with Playstation now, except their pricing is HORRENDOUS impo. I could BUY half the stuff their renting out used for the price they're asking for impo.

But, yea if you have the source it'd be interesting to read. I outright refuse to buy digital media unless it's down right cheap as frack; cause otherwise I don't have anything I can trade in for later if I end up getting bored of it down the line for something else.

It is hard to tell when they'll reveal information on the Club Nintendo replacement and when they'll launch it. It's close to the end of the year so if the replacement is coming this year, the time is coming soon. I think the most likely months would be either this month or December. October would probably be the best month to launch it because they could get more games this year to be part of the program, though that is if physical copies of the game come with the codes again while the digital games are registered when a Nintendo console is linked. I have no idea what the replacement will be like so they may do something entirely different than what Club Nintendo did.

I'm interested to see what the replacement will be like, I hope it is better. Maybe they'll have achievements like Sony and Microsoft have as it is kind of like a loyalty program. If the replacement is like those paid services I hope it is reasonable and good. I think it will have you linking the 3DS and Wii U to the service in some way.

I'm sure it will be brought up in the investor meeting on the 28th if we don't get a Direct soon. I also think it will work more like the app store in a way where things are made more simple. The 20 questions every time you put in a game code is something I see them removing and maybe it will be cut down to 5 or so questions.
