You've been able to link your Club Nintendo account to Nintendo's downloadable offerings for some time now, so it's no surprise that the upcoming eShop will offer the same option, with Nintendo Europe announcing a bonus 100 VIP Stars for users who link their accounts.
The connection can only be made once the eShop goes live — which we expect to happen within the next 12 hours — so don't go mashing F5 on your browser just yet. When the eShop is available, here's what to do next:
Go to Settings / Other on the far left of the Nintendo eShop Main Menu or click on the Menu button in the upper left corner of the lower screen and select Settings / Other from there.
Scroll down and select "Club Nintendo Account".
Enter your Club Nintendo email address and password.
Select "Link".
These VIP Stars are open to anyone who combines their accounts within the first three months of eShop availability, so no rush.

Hmmmm
100 VIP points is...... nothing.
WOW! One HUNDRED stars! Think of the possibilities!
wow, 100 points! this is a life changer.
better than nothing. but they could have been a bit more generous there.
i dunno, like, save 50% on your first eshop buy.
Could of at least been 400 Stars. That could of at least give us 100 Wii/Dsi points for....nothing.
@all above: Better than nothing Think those "benefits are more like: "Fill in these lists full of over 9000 questions for 50 stars!!!!1!111!!!" but I give them a chance, make those benefits real benefits!
OMG at what time eShop will be available??? T-T the waiting is killing me xD
keep trying update till i go bed hopefully go live tonight
Will do so when the update is there!
cool
This seems neat.
When it the update in the uk ?
Well, atleast its not all we are getting. Ya know, the free excitebike game, Poke3Dex (Get it? I think it could stick!), and... uh... oh! Right! The internet browser! (Whiiiiichdoesn'tsupportflash... but maybe one day... trails off into own mind) Still, I don't think its that bad a swag.
any word on coins for the US for doing this? need to know if I should put off making the link until july b/c I already have platinum status this year
Wait... do we North Americans get anything??
OMG! 100 Points! Yay...
I bet you are still required to fill a survey out. <_<
@Squiggle55
That's precisely what I want to know.
...When will Nintendo upload update for North American users?
You'd need to do it anyway to get points for downloadable titles, so nothing wrong with a nice little bonus.
anyone got the update yet?
@daznsaz Nope, I' keep waiting ti'll midnight and hope something happens.
Nintendo said Europe will get the update on June 7th, which is tomorrow. UK and EUers, get to bed!
Ahh, it's the seventh. Update...update...update...update. Where is it ?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....wake up to light hopefully
I don't think this means anything for us in NA, we don't use stars and we don't really get real world bonus' in NA at Club N.
@cerealkiller
tonight at seven........maybe
Hopefully NA gets something. Not sure why they would do that for Europe and not us.
Maybe because you Americans always get all the good stuff .
@sneaker
like what?
Well, importer like me won't get any club nintendo related gift anyway...
(it's too bad there is a PIN's left unused)
Ok, it is now 9:41 pm CST by me here in the US..and STILL no update?? This is killing me here! Heck they should just give everyone points to shop with for making us wait...and wait.....and wait.......I have no idea what these "stars" are supposed to do...would rather have points to shop on haha!
Australian's too right!?
@LightSamus--of course!!! =D
Hey, with those hundred stars I'd be finished with Super Mario Galaxy 2. Any mention on which ones they are?
