Gaming Nintendo Perks

But, this is why I do not understand your comparison.
Oil panic is one of the dual screen Game & watch games. And 12 years older than BALL.
Construction is completely different and so are MOST Game & watch games.

As I understand, the Multi Screen versions are even more fragile than the normal versions and of lesser quality. That's why I found the Club Nintendo re-issue of Ball unappealing because it feels even more fragile than my Oil Panic!, which should be inferior in build quality. My Ball's (that sounds weird) plastic creaks when I lightly bend it. Oil Panic! doesn't creak when I try to do that. That's what I'm talking about.

You are assuming build quality is bad because of the plastics cracking?

Welcome to the eighties man!
But seriousely,
My unit is solid as a rock ( as solid as the original that menas )
No cracking, flimsly buttons, screen rough edges etc.
Really deserves a place on my G & W display.

I only played a short amount of time with it offcourse but, it's really solid.
What version to you have? Did you get it via the Ninten do Program?

Does anyone know if the Deluxe Digital Program has been extended so that you can get points until April? I read that on a Zelda website but I havn't seen that anywhere else.

Say Goodbye to Club Nintendo Loyalty Rewards Program

If you happen to be a member of Club Nintendo, then it's time to go clear out your Coin balance.

Nintendo on Tuesday announced plans to shut down the loyalty rewards program after more than six years. Members earned Coins by doing things like registering products and completing surveys, which they could spend on rewards like downloadable games, Nintendo posters, and character figures.

Nintendo didn't specify why it's shutting down the program, but the company apparently has something new in the works, as it promised to launch a new loyalty program "at a later date."

As The Verge points out, Club Nintendo was never a huge success in the U.S. or Europe. It's a different story in Japan, however, where members could nab perks like limited-edition games and handhelds. The program is shutting down globally, so we're sorry to pass along this news if you're a happy member.

"We thank all Club Nintendo members for their dedication to Nintendo games and their ongoing love for our systems and characters," Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing, said in a statement. "We want to make this time of transition as easy as possible for our loyal Club Nintendo members, so we are going to add dozens of new rewards and downloadable games to help members clear out their Coin balances."

You can still sign up for the program and earn Coins through the end of March, and redeem prizes through June. Nintendo promised to add a number of physical reward options and downloadable games for members to choose from next month.

As a peace offering, Nintendo is planning to offer the Flipnote Studio 3D software to members for free in February. The software lets you create 3D animations and exchange your creations with others. Anyone who creates a Club Nintendo account before registration closes on March 31 will be eligible to receive this software.
