Club Nintendo in the UK got revamped just before Xmas, and they finally have a Stars Catalogue worth looking at. I dunno if Nintendo run a similar scheme in the US but over here you get a scratch card with all first party Nintendo games, and each is worth 250 stars. If you buy a Nintendo console you get 500 stars. Now we can trade in our stars for special items; Wii Points, Nintendo figures, bags, wallets, etc. 100 Wii Points costs 400 stars, so basically you need to register 16 games to get enough stars for a free N64 game on the virtual console. I just traded 3500 stars for one of these: ![]() And it should get posted out to me within a month. Cool.

No such thing exists in the US or at least I've never seen it.

We don't have that, but we have something better -- not PAL!

Dunno. I've been saving "stars" since the Gamecube was released, so I had about 15,000 of them. Nintendo introduced a new rule where the stars would expire a year after you register them so I've been using up all the ones (as I've no idea how many are more than a year old). What I'm doing now is just saving up the slips and I'll register them when I want to use them. Take that, Nintendo!
Well, that's a definite bonus! In seriousness though, there's really no difference between PAL and NTSC now, unless you have an old TV. Games running in progressive scan display ratios (480p, 720p and 1080p) are exactly the same in any region; no speed differences, no differences in the number of lines displayed, etc. Even standard definition games now mostly have 60hz (NTSC speed) options as well as 50hz (PAL speed). |
