If you happen to be a long-time member of Club Nintendo, be wary. Nintendo has sent out an email to club members clarifying that their accumulated Star points will begin expiring by the end of this month. Further details on the expiration mechanics are available in the full article.

Nintendo Australia site has opened a registration page for their chapter of the Club Nintendo program. The site confirms that aside from Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit will also be carrying invites for this special service. Details are available in the full article.

Is Nintendo thinking of letting the territories of Australia and New Zealand in on the Club Nintendo loop? This appears to be the case, given that an invite was found for the Aussie release for Mario Kart Wii. Read up on it after the jump!

Nintendo might have the Wiimote now, but about a decade or two ago, people had a blast playing games with the Super Famicom controller. Nintendo has manage to turn the term "retrofuture" into a reality with this latest offering, though. Check out the unboxing of the Super Famicom classic controller for the Wii in the full article.

After a decidedly long wait, Nintendo Europe finally managed to implement that much-awaited star-swapping feature where gamers can exchange Wii Stars for Wii Points.

If you got all excited with the latest sightings of the Nintendo SNES classic controller accessory for the Wii, you might have to settle down a bit because it isn't likely to land in North American shores anytime soon. The SNES controller is projected to come with a Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD and a nice Mario calendar for 2008.

One NeoGAF Forum member got hold of a poster containing info regarding the presents Club Nintendo Platinum members will be receiving this coming holiday. Club Nintendo, for those not in the know, is the official club established by Nintendo exclusively for Japanese fans.

Membership is acquired through purchasing and registering video games published by the company. Previous rewards given away include Wiimote with TV remote functionality. See this year's rewards via the "read more" link below.

Heads up, Nintendo fans from Europe: Nintendo of Europe (NOE) just sent out emails regarding the changes on privacy protection guidelines for your Club Nintendo accounts. You are required to accept the new guidelines stated on the email on or before July 15; non-compliance will result in getting your Club Nintendo accounts canceled.

If for some reason you do not agree with the new policies, you can still spend the Stars you have gained from Virtual Console purchases until account deletion on July 25. The reason behind this is that they need your explicit approval in using your personal data in order for them to carry out transactions with you.

If you don't check your email often, now would be a good time to do so.

It seems that Mexico is really coming on its own as an established and profitable videogame market, or at least it is for Nintendo. Today, we came across a website called Club Nintendo MX with details about the Wii on Wheels Tour in Mexico.

So watch out for that roving truck with Wii gaming stations available for fans to try. Good publicity move (after all, a similar act was performed by Sony with the PS3).

The first stop was at Wal-Mart Lomas Verdes in Mexico, DF, from February 9 to 11. Here are the other stops for our Mexico-based readers:

•  February 16 to 18: Mexico, DF
• February 23 to 25: Monterrey, NL
• March 2 to 4: Monterrey, NL
• March 9 to 11: Guadalajara, JAL
• March 16 to 18: Guadalajara, JAL
• March 23 to 25: Queretaro, QRO
• March 30 to April 1: Puebla, PUE
• April 13 to 15: Mexico, DF
• April 20 to 22: Mexico, DF
• April 28 to 30: Mexico, DF

Takaya Imamura, producer of Star Fox Command for the DS, has hinted that the Wii might be the next destination for the classic series. GamesRadar reports that in an interview with Nintendo of Europe, when asked if a Wii version of Star Fox was in the works Imamura responded:

I wonder how the adventure of Fox and friends is going to go next time?! I have come up with some idea in my mind but it is still just a small one. I will try my best so that I can deliver it to you some time!

So there you have it folks. Straight from the producer's mouth: reason for us to hold our breath and wait for Fox McCloud to head for our Wii's.

Given this bright possibility, some of us here at QJ are now wondering if working the piloting mechanism will involve the Wiimote's tilt-sensing. Of course, we do have to note that our speculation is just probably due to our inner ninty-fan-boy coercing us to get ahead of ourselves. But still, we're very much optimistic.

Oh, before we forget, if you happen to be a Club Nintendo member, and you wish to read the whole interview, you can get access it by clicking on our VIA link below.
