I'm a goddamn Nintendrone, and even I'm flabbergasted by how constantly Nintendo fucks up the simplest of goddamn things. How the fucking shit do you reboot your goddamn rewards system, release a brand-new hot-selling console that everybody loves and people can't get enough of, and not provide rewards for your new hot commodity half a fucking year after its release?
I've got hundreds of these fucking coins that I can't use because I don't have a 3DS or Wii U anymore, they've gotten rid of all their cool dollarstore-quality physical bullshit rewards that I couldn't get enough of because I'm a cockgobbling corporate dicksucker, but the only thing that most people want right now they won't give us.
But ho ho ho! I can get some free fucking smartphone wallpapers with my reward coins. How goddamn cool is that, a wallpaper that I have to redeem with virtual money. It's not like I could just do a goddamn image search and get a wallpaper for free or something. Or how about those "official game guides", "mini guides", and "starting guides"? Not strategy guides, mind you. They took physical game manuals out of the boxes and are now making you spend reward money to get a fucking digital version of the same exact thing made by a third-party company. No more leafing through a game manual for fun anymore.
Nintendo's reward system used to be something unique and cool. No other game companies did a rewards system anything like it. The rewards were never amazing, but there was good stuff. I still have an old DS game case, a Toad carrying tote, and some novelty DS styluses. Then they had a special end-of-year thing where the coins you already spent could make you eligible for a special prize if you had spent enough of them. I got a few soundtrack CDs from that. Literally all they had to do was keep doing the same fucking thing they were already doing. How do you fuck that up? Nintendo literally had to do nothing, and they fucked that up. The one thing that would make it alright is if we could get some free Switch digital things, or at least some discounts, but no, fuck you. The system is sold out for the past half a goddamn year and they still don't have the money to give us a free doodad or a discount. Why even have a fucking reward system if you're not going to use it for anything good? It's pretty bad when your biggest, most deluded fans (like my stupid ass) are fed up with the bullshit. They could have just cut the rewards system entirely and I'd have been less pissed than them pretending like they're "revamping" their rewards system and dumping this shitty facade all over us.

I'm not "blinded by corperate [sic] allegience [sic]". I'm a fan of the games and systems released by a shitty Jew company to the point that I can overlook most of the money-grubbing practices because I still enjoy the products and feel they are worth my money. Most of what they do is an affront to intelligent consumers, but I don't care because it's shit that doesn't affect me (like amibo, which can be safely ignored). This shit here is an affront to even retards like me because it's them corrupting something that used to be decent (and I'm sure even our Marku would agree).

great thread OP

It's okay OP, Holla Forums is NIDF headquarters
Ayden Richardson
Enjoy your shitty console. And no the modern games they produce are objectively shit.
Colton Richardson
I don't think so. Holla Forums has a lot of consolefaggots of particular flavors and PC cucks, but the vast majority is just shitters who hate everything. You can't admit to enjoying anything at all without being a "good goy". Admitting to enjoying anything with a price tag attracts more ">buying {thing}" posts than serious responses. I honestly think there is literally a swarm of posters here who mostly just hang out to shitpost at anything positive. Still better than the circlejerks at literally every other messageboard and forum in existence. I'll take unbridled hatred and honesty over an echo chamber where dissenting opinion gets silenced.
I mean, can you honestly look at this thread and call Holla Forums NIDF?
Jace Williams
Jesus fucking christ how many fucking threads do you need to show off your supposed intellectual superiority, you've been at this for days.
Joseph Allen
Nah. I think it's simpler than that. Don't buy products from jews. Console's are shit because their PC-lites with pointless exclusives with terrible hardware and PC's are shit because Valve has a monopoly on online services. The only modern games you can trust these days either come from nipland or are somewhere in the indie category and have enough creative freedom to accomplish basic fucking things that make a game fun that corporations are to afraid of. Now fuck off, you obviously haven't lurked here long enough.
Ayden Howard
This is the first thread I've made in months. If my post looked like showing off of "intellectual superiority", you're probably retarded; sorry, user.
Back to cuckchan, please.

PCs are good because you can pirate everything PCs are good because they can run mostly everything with focus on older titles PCs are good because of choice and being what modern consoles are trying to be, completely killing what made them good

Honestly, Nintendo keeps missing things by a fucking inch every time. For example, I casually paid attention to their shit from Wii to now, and off the top of my head:
There were at least two other online systems/codes/features they had too. I couldn't keep it straight so I never fucking bothered. As much as a cancer Sony and MS are, at least their online systems are fucking streamlined. Nintendo has slow, awful menus and needs you to restart the fucking console half the time to apply network settings. Like what the fuck? My PC can do a ton of things.
Overall they're just badly designed.
Anthony Howard
Nintendo is a mega corporation like Microsoft and Sony. Don't be surprised when they do stupid shit like this.
Ryder Richardson
You forgot They're combining two of them soon-ish, I don't remember which, but it doesn't change that it needs to end. One login to rule them all, and have fucking done with it.
Nicholas Hughes
I know what they are, I'm surprised because this is stupid shit that alienates their fanbase and hurts their profits. It's not like this is them "jewing their customers" here, this is just straight up incompetence and fucking up. I'm never surprised by the money-grubbing shit they've done. I wasn't surprised by them embracing paid DLC, I wasn't surprised by the amiibo shit, I wasn't surprised by them pushing to eliminate physical distribution in favor of digital to lower cost of production. What surprises me is when they fuck up the simplest things, refuse to get experts who could sort this shit out in a weekend on the scene, and burn their own profits in the name of their slow traditionalism. I'll never be surprised by corporate Jewry. I'm astounded by multi-billion dollar corporations simply being incompetent like this. They could make so much more money off a good rewards system, getting people to buy more games so they get points to redeem for reward-exclusive games, getting people buying games they wouldn't otherwise because there's a discount, etc. It's not like they're even "resistant to change", because they changed their existing digital systems to this. I just don't fucking get it.
They have a chance to do right by their customers, and they have a chance to Jew their customers here, and they've instead elected to fuck it up entirely and make no profits while pissing everybody off. They've chosen the worst of both worlds for everybody involved.
Ryan Baker
I think it was obvious from the get-go that Nintendo wasn't going to revive the old Club Nintendo rewards program with the physical gifts. The steady decline of the rewards program hinted towards that. This was most likely a bid to save themselves money and manhours from having to manufacture, house, and ship the items to customers. Your claim that they had to "do fucking nothing" isn't all that accurate by a large margin.
Now their customer loyalty program consists of digital goodies and discounts on eShop titles.
I don't see what's there to be pissed off about. Nintendo didn't explicitly promise physical rewards. I'm not going to argue that this isn't a downgrade, but they never promised that Club Nintendo was going to be replaced with something better. They just promised that it would be replaced.
I'm a Nintendrone myself, just like you and our beloved BO, but I'm not going to get stark-raving mad when I wasn't given anything that I wasn't promised.

Miyamoto has gone senile and they don't know what the fuck they are doing anymore. They are even allowing Treehouse to censor games at the source. This actually makes me sad, since I actually liked Nintendo, but there is a point in every company's life where they do stupid shit and alienate consumers.

I'm not arguing that they should bring back physical rewards. I'm arguing that it's retarded for their rewards system to be useless for their current flagship console over 6 months past its release. I'm fine with what My Nintendo is, and I'm fine with no physical goods. I'm not fine with "digital goodies and discounts" being only useful for systems that launched over 4 years ago. I'm not fine with a "coming soon" section that has been "coming soon" for half a year. I'm not fine with the points that I got from buying the fucking console expiring (yes, they expire) before they even offer rewards for the system itself.

Just FYI, in French "hread" is "topic", "fil" means "fibre thread".
It's "le meilleur pays au monde", not "la". "Faites-moi" doesn't mean anything, you probably meant to say "force moi".
Isaac Ward
I bet you dollars to doughnuts that they're holding back their Nintendo Switch rewards until they roll out their online subscription service so they can push it out the door with more incentives.
I think people would be more comfortable paying $20 a year on a service that also nets you discounts when you buy more of their products.
I don't feel like we've been told the entire story of their online service, and I'm actually puzzled as to why it's taken so damn long. Maybe the Switch was rushed out the door to plug up the net losses from the Wii U? Hell, who knows?
Dominic Baker

Read my post. I said they monopolized the online service.
James Green
Monopolized what online service? Buying games online? That's not true, though. Majority market share does not mean monopoly. Hell, you can direct download games from fucking Amazon nowadays. And they usually have less DRM too (unless they hard wired it into the game).
Daniel Allen
If you wanted your game to make money would you take the risk of posting it anywhere else but Steam? It's a monopoly. And last I checked they own around 80% of the online transaction services for games.
Justin Martinez
Depends, 30% goes straight to Gabe Jewell's pocket. If I had the resources or connections to get my shit hosted someplace else, I would, i.e. a triple A studio. Unfortunately hosting files can be expensive, which is why Valve makes so much money.
Jonathan Campbell
nice
OP, I am genuinely sad to see you have to endure this shit, and it doesn't help that as someone who refused a switch for Christmas this year that my first reaction is to laugh.
The only thing we can do now is just pray for enough of a collapse to restore innovation to the AAA scene.
Joseph Baker
DISCLAIMER: I have a Switch.
Maybe I'm missing something. And I'm not defending Nintendo's jewery at all. But of all the stupid things they do wrong, like the terrible way the eshop works, and how you lose everything if it gets stolen or it breaks (at least that's how the 3DS eshop worked), this is the problem you choose to moan about? I mean, all this fuss because of stupid ass rewards when they can't get proper online services to work as they should?
Nicholas Rodriguez
>I'm a goddamn [pejorative that opposing fanboy would use], and even I'm [..] This is like going into a GamerGay thread to post "I'm a misogynist brodude gamer, and even I'm disgusted with how violent gamers are toward these poor innocent feminists."
Adrian Sanchez
You're a blind idiot, after Iwata died it was clear that Nintendo lost the last piece of what made them special.
I never bothered registering because it was obvious where they were going with it.
Jordan Gonzalez
dubs thread?
Justin Perry
You're funny. Have you seen the european rewards for club nintendo? Only overprices real stuff and then only for a short time and later only the same digital shit rewards.
Nothing has changed for us.
Michael Gonzalez
I think the point is that people rarely do. They own a market almost entirely in that fashion thus making it a monopoly.
Bentley Parker

Kayden Morales
Make a sonygger thread then. This is Nintendrones.
Lucas Adams
and around 80% of games on steam if you scrape out the Greenlight afterbirth can be bought somewhere else. Usually without DRM.
Justin Bell
The problem is they aren't. And any competition is peanuts in comparison.
Nathan Nguyen
Kill yourself. Also, I bet you're circumcised.
David Adams
I just can't believe they still don't have any Switch rewards yet. I had to just piss away 250 platinum coins on random wallpapers because otherwise they would have expired in a week and there was nothing else even remotely interesting. Can't wait until my gold coins start expiring 6 months from now and there's still nothing to spend them on.
I think I'd rather have no reward system at all than this rubbish.
Jose Howard
What said. Throw away your Switch and kill yourself.
Christopher Martinez
i can't believe that someone would be desperate enough to bump a 3 day old shitty thread like this
