For a while now, Aussie Nintendo fans have pleaded for Nintendo to bring Club Nintendo to Australia. Up until now, the request seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. This morning, Nintendo Australia announced that they would be bringing Club Nintendo down under, with the first game to support it, being Mario Kart Wii.
Club Nintendo is a customer loyalty program, which rewards people for buying Nintendo products. Once you buy a game that supports Club Nintendo, all you have to do is go to the official site, which isn't quite finished yet, and enter in your details and unique product code. Each code gives you Star Points, which can be used in exchange for exclusive goods, like toys or Nintendo Memorabilia.
So far, the only other title that supports Club Nintendo is Wii Fit, which comes out in Australia on May 8.
