Club Nintendo launches in North America. Is Broken.

Club Nintendo has finally launched in North America (or at least in the US and Canada).  You can go visit it here.  If you’re compulsive like me, you probably already have a “My Nintendo” account where you’ve been registering your games for some reason, in which case you can migrate that account to the new Club Nintendo site.

Unfortunately, logging into the site after you’ve migrated that account seems to be booched right now.  It either just sits there, swirling a ring around, or tells me I don’t exist.  This is probably because the entire free world is hammering on that site all at once, and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
