Melbourne, March 12: Loyal Nintendo lovers in Australia will now be able to get their rewards as Club Nintendo officially launched in the country on Wednesday.

Many months have passed since Club Nintendo cards were packaged together with Nintendo products such as the Wii and DS and since then Nintendo fans in Australia have anticipated on when they could finally use them.

Now, Club Nintendo has officially launched in Australia thus allowing Nintendo users to use ther Club Nintendo cards they collected.

Nintendo users need to log on to the website Club-Nintendo.com in order to register to the club. They will fill out several personal details followed by a short survey. Upon completing the registration process, they will become Club Nintendo members and be able to create and edit their profile.

The best thing about Club Nintendo is that loyal users will be rewarded with “Stars” that can be exchanged for Nintendo merchandise which are exclusive to club members. Users will be rewarded with 250 Stars during their first time registration.

To earn more Stars, Club Nintendo members can buy more Nintendo products which come with a unique PIN code that they can enter into the website. After doing so, a short survey which they need to complete will appear and they will then be rewarded with Stars. Members may also be rewarded with Stars during special occasions like their birthday.

There are currently five rewards which could be collected. These are Mario print face towels, a Wii remote stand, a leather finished game and stylus case, a game wallet and a “Game and Watch” collection for the Nintendo DS. In order to see these exclusive products, members can browse the Stars catalogue at the Club Nintendo website.
