Why Club Nintendo Australia's Stars catalogue is delayed according to Rose Lappin

This bit of info is from The Age's screenplay section. The interview was conducted by Rose Lappin, president of Nintendo Australia and The Age's screenplay writer, Jason Hill.

What's the current hold-up with the introduction of the Nintendo Club in Australia?

I don't think there's a hold up, we've launched it when Mario Kart came out and we'll continue to roll that out. We're putting on extra people at the moment because you must recognise Jason that we've had a massive increase, probably for the last seven or eight months we've been trying to put people into that and shore it up. So we're still working towards that, making sure we've got enough people. With the corporate area and working with NOE (Europe) and NCL (Japan) on Club Nintendo, one of the reasons is we're waiting to get that finalised. It's a hold up because we haven't got enough time in the day.

Will Australians get the same catalogue of prizes to choose from as your European customers?

I think there's a different catalogue of prizes for each territory but I have got information on some of the things we're looking at and they are exclusive and they're very nice.

And will all your games feature point cards?

All the new titles. Obviously the cards have to be included in the new items, so obviously there has to be a point going forward where you can do that.

Now I don't know what you're thinking, but I sorta don't buy it. Please comment and tell me what you think.
