If the rumors are to be believed, in the not-so-distant future (as early as tomorrow from the time of this writing), Nintendo of America will officially launch its "frequent buyer" Club Nintendo program in the good ol' US of A. With the Club Nintendo program comes the ability to acquire special points by registering Nintendo games, and these points can be redeemed for special collectible items. Swag is good.
In the early peek of products being made available to North American Club Nintendo members is the Nintendo DS game Game & Watch Collection, a cool little cartridge that features "ports" of three classic LCD games from Nintendo's past. The package has been available in Japan for two years now, and features Oil Panic, Donkey Kong, and Greenhouse. Expect the same for the US release.
GamesRadar - Nintendo has had decades of profitability, and does a great job of pleasing its core fanbase. The company sticks to what it’s best at and innovates in that space, earning a reputation for being both an inventive risktaker and fiscally conservative. After all that success, Nintendo is ready to venture into a whole new gaming space, full of simple apps, straightforward interface, and pocket-sized tech in a competitive market. I’m talking about the year 1980 and the origins of Nintendo’s Game & Watch handhelds, which could be the key to Nintendo’s mobile success 35 years later.

A game store in my location has started selling "Club Nintendo Exclusives"... It makes me care much, much less about the service.
Not content to mess with the World Cup, the octopus sets its sights on Ryan and Jeff.
