Club Nintendo points available in third-party 3DS games

Not so exclusive anymore

Club Nintendo is an exclusive sort of place, allowing you to swap Star Points found on Nintendo-published games for prizes online.

But with the upcoming US and European launch of the Nintendo 3DS it looks like Club Nintendo is about to branch out to some third-party publishers.

In each of our 3DS review copies from Ubisoft, Club Nintendo points cards are nestled in with the instruction manuals.

Whether Ubisoft has struck up a deal with Nintendo to be part of the points scheme, or whether the points are open to any third-party publishers, remains to be seen - we'll let you know when we receive more review copies later in the week.
