JonCole Posted January 20, 2015 I assume you'll be able to register that stuff on the new rewards program they say they'll be starting later this year. Same with the new 3DS. I hope so, I just kinda don't trust them to do it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted January 20, 2015 Also, everyone in Club Nintendo gets Flipnote Studio 3D, which I didn't expect to ever come out here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1njaSquirrel Posted January 20, 2015 I hope Nintendo releases all the pointless data they've acquired from the forms you have to fill in to get stars over the years in nice graphs that tell us nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonCole Posted January 20, 2015 As much as I kept telling myself that I don't care, I just reordered my Gamefly queue to prioritize Nintendo games that I might want to end up buying and registering before March. It's equal parts rational and irrational - why buy games to earn points for a service that is going away? There is no guarantee that the rewards on offer will even be anything I particularly want. But also, I have a brand new Wii U with only one game plus I'm more into my 3DS than ever so why not buy a few games? Ugh. Also, that New Club Nintendo thing is gold.

Sno Posted January 21, 2015 The theory i've been seeing going around is that the closure of Club Nintendo is a prelude to Nintendo trying to properly unify their user accounts and game licenses infrastructure.Perhaps wishful thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tegan Posted January 21, 2015 On a scale from 1 to "goddamnit Nintendo," how screwed do we expect the people who won't manage to get in on the Mewtwo DLC for Smash Bros. before the service goes down to be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henroid Posted January 21, 2015 The Xbox One won an Emmy Award for Television Enhancement Devices which is apparently a real category. Go figure. Oh please, it's not like Microsoft can't throw money at the academy. This is 100% a paid advertisement (which is really what all these award shows are about anyway).

syntheticgerbil Posted January 22, 2015 On a scale from 1 to "goddamnit Nintendo," how screwed do we expect the people who won't manage to get in on the Mewtwo DLC for Smash Bros. before the service goes down to be? It's supposed to be for sale later no matter what, much like the Hyrule Warriors pre-order costumes are now just $1 each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted January 27, 2015 If you had a PSN account active before May 15, 2011, you might be able to claim benefits from the class action lawsuit filed against Sony for the security breach they suffered in April that year. If you can prove you were a victim of identity theft, you can get up to $2500. Otherwise, eligible U.S. gamers (sorry Teg) can claim either one free PS3/PSP/Vita game, 3 Playstation themes, or 3 months of PS+ (provided you're not already a member). The deadline for claims is Aug 31. You can file a claim online at the link above. And if anyone is suspicious of the link, I did some checking just to be sure (its the site that places like Forbes, Engadget, and IGN direct you to). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted January 27, 2015 And in other news, it seems that AOL (they still exist?) may be shutting down Joystiq soon. Recode first reported the news and its been pretty much confirmed on Joystiq's site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Professor Video Games Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah same here. Their feed is pleasantly low on fluff/clickbait articles which is hard to find these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, I use Joystiq for my mostly nuts and bolts news, and then go to places like RPS, Polygon or recommendations from these forums for long form pieces or commentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I've had an SOE account for forever and a PSN account for years as well, but didn't they already pay out for this once? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted January 27, 2015 They paid out once as a method of trying to appease affected people to hedge against a class action, but one happened anyways. If you submit a claim, you'll see that people who took advantage of that offer get less than those who didn't. Also, the games on offer are the exact ones they offered the first time around.

Sno Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah same here. Their feed is pleasantly low on fluff/clickbait articles which is hard to find these days. I echo this sentiment, they were one of the last good gaming blogs providing a catch-all cross-section of gaming news. Definitely gonna miss it, and i'm not sure what i'll replace it with.

Justin Leego Posted January 28, 2015 They were also courteous and pretty unusual in that they would often enclose the press release vertabim after their own interpretation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
