Nintendo has unveiled plans to discontinue their Club Nintendo rewards program. By the end of this Club Nintendo year, which is in June, the program will be officially shut down. Members can still redeem CN codes for coins until March and have until June to use them. It was also noted in the Club Nintendo notice that games released after January 20 won’t be eligible for registration. So upcoming games like Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and the New 3DS XL won’t earn you additional coins.

Based on the press release, Nintendo is still planning on releasing additional rewards for member to spend their remaining coins on. Also, current members will be able to download Flipnote Studio 3D onto their 3DS for free once it’s released.

“We thank all Club Nintendo members for their dedication to Nintendo games and their ongoing love for our systems and characters,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “We want to make this time of transition as easy as possible for our loyal Club Nintendo members, so we are going to add dozens of new rewards and downloadable games to help members clear out their Coin balances.”

Nintendo will add a number of physical reward options for members in February. Members will also be able to choose from a lineup of many downloadable games. As a gift to Club Nintendo members, the Flipnote Studio 3D software will be available to download for free in February. This software will allow users to create unique three-dimensional animations and to exchange their creations via local wireless with others who also own Flipnote Studio 3D. Users who uploaded creations to Flipnote Hatena will be able to download their personal animations from the Nintendo DSi Library menu in Flipnote Studio 3D software. Flipnote Studio 3D will be available to Club Nintendo members until June 30. The ability to create a new Club Nintendo account will end on March 31. All users who register to Club Nintendo before registration closes will be eligible to receive Flipnote Studio 3D.

This doesn’t look like to eternal end of Nintendo rewarding their loyal fans though. Also in the announcement, Nintendo stated that a new customer loyalty program will be announced at a later date.
