Last month, along with the release of Mario Kart Wii, Nintendo of Australia launched the Club Nintendo program.

Late last month, Nintendo of Australia announced that they were bringing the Club Nintendo program, found in both Japanese and European markets, to the Australian market.

Alongside the release of Mario Kart Wii, Club Nintendo launched. Players were able to take the code found in the game case and register it on the Club Nintendo website in exchange for star points. Recently, Wii Fit also saw release in Australia adding, yet another title that could be registered for Star Points.

Star Points can be redeemed for Nintendo goodies from the Stars Catalogue, which is only available to Club Nintendo members. Currently the only market without Club Nintendo is the American market.

Australian gamers who own either Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii can register their games now at the Club Nintendo website.

Well at least you can do something with the stars. Registering games in MyNintendo is literally worthless. Well not for Nintendo because they get some great figures to work with. I guess I want to see the Japanese Club Nintendo start up worldwide. They get hooked up with AWESOME stuff, and the rest of the world gets the shaft.

I completely stopped registering games with MyNintendo after the 3 free issues of Nintendo Power thing. Like Mr. Jack said, after the 3 free issues there was absolutely no reason to keep registering these damn games. The most you can get is the opportunity to fill out a survey about a game you registered.
