I just bought Captain Toad from Amazon and I don't see the cn code anywhere? No insert or behind the cover. Isn't the deadline for using cn codes at the end of this month? I'm kinda ticked because I just needed 40 more points to get a game I wanted. Is there a way I can still get my points from this game if I contact Nintendo?

So I called up Nintendo and they added the game to my account as a courtesy and I should have the survey on my account shortly. I was surprised they didn't ask for any upc codes or anything. They did say it was a 1 time thing and they couldn't do it again but I'm happy to just get my points for this game.

Good to hear.. It's probably not worth the trouble for them to go full NSA just to verify you bought a game just to give you a few CN points

European release is different as ours have physical Club Nintendo cards while the Americans had it printed on the reversible cover.

DLC Party 10 and Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars are the last two Wii U games to come with Club Nintendo cards.

I know, but charging people for something i technically got free on the house never felt right to me, so idon't do that. GL with the sell tho. :/

To be frank, you never really got them for free as you had to pay for it through each and every Nintendo game unless you bought the codes from eBay or someone gave them to you for free.

Despite being 'free' it still comes at a cost.

If Zelda's OST CD comes in stock one again I'll just order it as I'm guessing there'll be nothing better than that anyway.

    original Ipods had massive storage, it was pornographic
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I never used itunes, always used one of those programs to bypass it, just drag and drop
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I didn't know the other programs at the time :( honestly not even sure if any existed yet at that point
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I just googled and drag and drop seemed to be possible at the time
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, but in high school at least, I used my ipod as a portable HDD to store World of Warcraft game files on and play it on the school PCs when I was done with my work each class :lol:

    I finally got a proper torrenting vpn!

    Nice. What VPN? PIA?
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It's called AirVPN, it was highly recomended by fmhy
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It supports port forwarding as well!
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Nice. I use privado VPN, got it for free with one of my usenet providers. It sucks, doesn't support port forwarding so I have issues connecting to a lot of peers. But still prefer it over not using one

  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    I guess it's better than nothing. What's the advantage of Usenet?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Plazorn, upsides to usenet - SSL encrypted so no vpn needed, it downloads from the usenet provider's servers and is not peer-to-peer, generally can download as fast as your internet/router/storage can possibly allow, usenet providers in different countries have different takedown policies a la DMCA, and if you have multiple providers you might be able to grab bits and pieces of a file from multiple providers in order to still get stuff that was removed from one (they generally don't remove all parts of the file, just enough to make it non-functional)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Downsides is it does cost money, having multiple providers is useful as mentioned above but then you're paying more money, and you need NZB indexers (the usenet parallel to a torrent tracker) and the good ones also usually cost a small amount of money.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh yeah, also since it's not P2P there's no ratio to maintain or anything. If you wanna download 5TB a day or whatever, knock yourself out
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I generally prefer usenet over torrents, but I do like having torrents as a fallback option
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    That's really interesting @Sicklyboy , I was always under the impression that usenet was slower than regular internet. Also the fact that you don't need any vpn for it to be secure.
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It seems like it would be less stressful, because you wouldn't have to worry about piracy trolls as much
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah, like at the end of the day, with the few usenet providers and NZB indexers I'm paying for, I'm probably paying anually what a netflix sub would cost. But netflix doesn't have everything media related I want, let alone other stuff like games and software :D
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But it's largely set it and forget it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    On black friday and a bunch of other holidays you can usually find providers doing like $35/year sales on reddit. And the indexers are usually like $15-20 for a year and a half on sale
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    You pay for the convenience at the end of the day
     +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I have I think 3 providers I'm currently paying for and 2 indexers. So probably around $110 a year if I had to guess in order to keep that setup going
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But you certainly don't need to go that deep into it, you can do very well with a single provider and single indexer
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah the convenience factor is unbeatable imo. Worth it to me
