Talk:Club Nintendo

Heres all the comics for download here, if someone can translate...
 * I found a translator!
 * I already started to translate some of them, I think I will put the translations on my user page when I've finished someday. 05:15, 17 May 2008 (EDT)

Club Nintendo Loyalty Program
I think there should also be an article on the international Club Nintendo loyalty program. It offers many Mario items and it will also launch in North America by the end of this year. What do you think? --Grandy02 04:22, 28 November 2008 (EST)
 * Sounds good to me.
 * Fine, but which category would fit it? --Grandy02 12:46, 28 November 2008 (EST)
 * Companies?
 * Hm, a loyalty program isn't a company. --Grandy02 12:50, 28 November 2008 (EST)
 * Yah your rite, what do you think the category should be? Anything in mind?
 * From the current categories, Category:Merchandise could fit, since that is what Club Nintendo offers. Yeah, that would be the best I think. --Grandy02 13:18, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Club Nintendo program started in North America yesterday and already offers several Mario rewards:. We should take the change and document the occurrence of Mario rewards in American Club Nintendo from the beginning. --Grandy02 06:31, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Did Anyone Save the Comics?
At the bottom of the article, there is a link to a website that used to provide scans of the Club Nintendo comics. Now the scans are gone. Did anyone happen to save some of them to their computers? If so, please leave a message here. Thank you. 19:18, 18 March 2009 (EDT)
 * Can't respond to 2009-year comment (it's 2011 when I've posted this comment), but it's just for the sake of deleting the {talk} template. The links are working now.

Just to clear something up— the site nintendo-power.de linked in the article contains all 9 "special edition" comic issues for specific game releases, it just doesn't have the ones relating to hardware (GBC, Game Boy Camera, N64), or some Pokemon ones that apparently existed. As for comics contained in regular editions, raw scans of the entire run of "regular" comics can be found under "releases" at http://opentrain.199xchan.org/. This archive also contains some, but not all, installments of the N-Gang, some of which feature Mario characters. Their team has an ongoing project to translate these comics, which has progressed through the years 1991-1993.

I present this information here, as I am unsure of the best way to translate it into wiki form, or if that is appropriate. Time Q should at least be interested.

I don't know where to find the missing N-Gang comics, or the other special editions I mentioned. Translation of certain regular and special comics has been carried out separately by respective fan communities. I intend to translate some myself at some point as well. If I do, I will post a notification here. Milo (talk) 09:01, 5 October 2012 (EDT)
 * As promised, I am posting here to say I just finished with my scanlation of a Donkey Kong Country 2 comic from a Club Nintendo Special Edition. This post has more details and download/viewing links. Milo (talk) 22:17, 3 January 2013 (EST)
