History shows that Nintendo of Australia like to do things at their own pace. Timely launches just ain't their style, y'know? We're not just talking games, either. Back in April, there was much Aussie hollering when Nintendo announced Club Nintendo would be heading down under, bringing with it all the Nintendo mugs, free Bowser wallpapers, SNES pads, and Wii Points that had so far been enjoyed by Japanese and European gamers. Except, it's still not up and running. Though games are shipping with Club Nintendo codes, Australia's Club Nintendo site has yet to go live, four and a half months after it was announced.
None of which will comfort U.S.-based Nintendo fans, who are simply waiting for a local version of Club Nintendo to be announced. If the sloth-like actions of Nintendo Australia are any indication, they may be in for a wait.

I live in Sweden, and NoE doesn't let us use these codes either. They stopped sometime during the GameCube era..

Wow, Australia gets screwed by nintendo again. What a surprise. We already pay twice what the yankees do for games and almost that for the wii itself. I would have to say that Nintendo of Australia is one of the most incompetent organisations in the world.

Richard it should include NZ, you get the same games as us so the codes should be in there.
I'd ask Nintendo but yeah - we can see how that's worked out.
