man the only I get a bunch of coins accumulated is when I purchase a new Nintendo system and game...

 

[Janthran]

I thought it said Club Penguin.
I almost lol'd.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

...Club Nintendo coins had value? LOL.

Meh, the only time I ever got coins was when I bought a new system and...that was about it.

 

[Deleted-236924]

Since we're getting less points than before for doing the same thing, wouldn't that mean the value is increasing?

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Well then the rewards better be dropped too.

 

[Snailface]

Well then the rewards (coin prices-sf) better be dropped too.

I wouldn't count on it.

It seems like Nintendo is bracing for some sort of financial winter with these cost-cutting moves. (if they're already not in one)

 

[purplesludge]

Well then the rewards better be dropped too.

I'd hope so but probably not

 

[Gahars]

No, Nintendo, this is not what "making it rain" means at all.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

No, Nintendo, this is not what "making it rain" means at all.

Maybe they're trying to make it hail?

 

[Fear Zoa]

Well I guess now is a good time to spend the 1100 coins I have... 3ds case, Zelda posters, and the downloadable donkey Kong game for me it is then.

 

[dgwillia]

Meh, might be the last year i make Platinum then

 

[emigre]

I think the real question is what impact will this have on the already struggling Euro?

 

[Ace Overclocked]

wait, you can buy systems on NA club nintendo 0.o

 

[Wizerzak]

If the number of coins being given out is decreasing then the value of the coins is going up... that's not exactly hard to understand. Unless you mean the value of unregistered products, in which case their value is decreasing (though only if the rewards stay the same price).

 

[Veho]

The title makes it seem like the values of coins themselves will be dropping, i.e. that Club Nintendo items will cost more coins now.

When lesser coins are distributed or even used - it means the value of the coins have gone up.

 

[Janthran]

Haha, I never redeemed Star Fox 64 3D, OoT3D, MK7, or Pokemon Rumble Blast.
I'm glad I waited, they're going up.

Why are you glad? They're still going to be worth less come July 1st.
