Aneres11 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The shop still sucks ass and has for ages. There has been nothing decent on there for a while now. The last thing I got was the SNES controller and that was almost 2 years ago! I've now built up enough funds to buy it again if I so wish (which I don't ha). It's about time we got some nice new stuff. The MK trophies don't really interest me. I need to start buying before my bloody stars expire!

Mokong Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The Special Cup has already sold out once before so that may be the best one to get. To my knowledge the Leaf Cup has always been in stock. Not an issue of which might be rarer, but which do people think looks the best... think I'm leaning towards the Leaf Cup... the crown of the Special cup seems a bit girly And it would likely be a LONG time before I have enough stars again to buy another by which point they'd prolly be LONG gone. The only thing I ever bought from the Stars catalogue was a Club Nintendo t-shirt And over the last few years since I've lost too many stars from expiring The only thing I'm worried about is if I order a Leaf Cup they'll then add something else new and better and I'll wish I hadn't spent teh stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagato Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Id suggest buying points cards if you have expiring stars but they have only gone and removed them from the store. Im assuming they are adding in the new cards that work for 3ds and WiiU, hopefully they are still compatible with the Wii store as i still have a few virtual console games i want to buy.

Ike Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Tried to order something earlier but I couldn't put my address details in so couldn't complete my order, the page just refreshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Do Stars still expire? I can't see anywhere on the website that says when they're expiring. I think they stopped that due to backlash. Mine haven't expired in the past few months which is odd as they should have I got 7,000 Stars recently so ordered the SNES Classic Controller. Should be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped put codes on the website when they introduced the expiration, then some of them expired because I hadn't put them on. Proper shit move from Nintendo. Hopefully they have canned the expiration thing all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V. Amoleo Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yeah, the SNES controller is the best thing on there. One of my favourite purchases in general if I'm honest. I loved being able to play Super Metroid properly again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the SNES controller, but it's still in the box. Will use it when I play some more VC games. I got the Wii Remote holder a while ago, I like it.

Lens of Truth Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yes, they're tedious and you end up answering pretty much the same (unenlightening) question over and over. I used to prefer it when you got to say your favourite things about each game and how it could be improved - or do they still do that stuff for the bonus 50 stars? I've lost track.

Phube Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I must say I've been using Disney Movie Rewards... and they make Nintendo Stars look silly. You get ~150 points for a blu-ray... but with only 750 points you get a brand new blu-ray (rrp £16.99) which also comes with 150 points... I've already gotten 2 free blu-rays and one dvd in one year. With a bigger outlay on Nintendo products I get errr... a CD/keyring/£5 of points... Rubbish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yeah Disney Rewards is practically too good! Really good scheme, you actually get stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagato Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Is anybody else having trouble submitting the surveys at the moment? My girlfriend had to go through the process 3 times yesterday to register her 3DSXL, kept getting an error message. Looks like if you stick with it then it does go through eventually.

WackerJr Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I stopped put codes on the website when they introduced the expiration, then some of them expired because I hadn't put them on. Proper shit move from Nintendo. Hopefully they have canned the expiration thing all together. I did exactly the same Ramar. I had a whole raft of GBA games I'd held back on registering so that they wouldn't expire until something I wanted came up. Then when I needed the extra couple of thousand points I wasn't able to register the majority of them! Frustrating! As an aside, does the WiiU come with a stars card? I didn't have one in mine.

I believe it automatically registers your points for the WiiU when you go online and link accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
