Nintendo announced at the Media Summit in San Francisco that Club Nintendo, the popular reward point system in Japan, is coming to America by the end of the year.
Club Nintendo has been a feature in Japan that gives people points when they register their Nintendo games online. The points can be redeemed for exclusive merchandise.
The announcement was short and did not go into whether the registered Nintendo games users have already entered in on the Nintendo official site would earn points, or whether it's only titles released after the Club opens.
