Club Nintendo isn’t dead, is it? Or is it just dead in America?
It’s dead, Jim.
Huh, it is. I must’ve gotten onto it just as it was about to end.
They uh… announced its closer back in January this year…
Must’ve missed it. I was using it in June and July.
Ooh, old school Nintendo!!! Didn’t they start off as a company making Hanafuda cards?
Would love to buy a set, but remembering the combinations and the scoring without using an app is still beyond me at the moment…
