Many gamers selected their elite reward months ago, but no word on when they would ship them. With the vague by December 31st, there wasn’t much to go off of either. As we get later into the year many are starting to worry about the status. However Nintendo has been shipping out emails to answer that question.
Hello _______,
We wanted to let you know that we are preparing to begin shipping the 2011 Elite Status Gifts!
We had thousands of loyal Nintendo fans reach Elite Status last June and it is going to take us a couple of weeks to ship all the orders.
So, even though your friends or neighbors may receive their Gift before you do, please be assured that your order is being processed too!
You will receive another email when your reward order ships.
Thank you for your interest and excitement and we hope you enjoy your Club Nintendo Elite Status Gift.
Sincerely,
Nintendo of America Inc.
Consumer Service Department.
