I logged into the system today to find a whole slew of Post-Play surveys stemming from Wii/DSi Shop Downloads in the last little while. That's when I thought something was up: I just got You, Me and the Cubes last week and it's already in my to-do list? How can that be? Normally, it would take 4 weeks or more for the post-play survey to appear. After doing some digging, I've uncovered that Nintendo has secretly updated the Club Nintendo system and has made it so that post-play surveys arrive at a faster rate. In connection with this, they've also updated the FAQ according under the "Product Registration" section, as shown below:

Your Wii Shop Channel must be linked to your Club Nintendo account to ensure Wii Shop Channel games and Wii Channels appear in your To-Do list.

There's also a blurb in the FAQ indicating that this applies to retail titles as well!
