My Nintendo only just launched about a month and a half ago, but it will be expanded over time. That means new rewards will be added and the service itself will have more to offer.

One feature members can look forward to in the future are bonuses for email readers. In an official notice on the European version of the site, Nintendo mentions that these users will be able to receive “more benefits” such as “subscriber-exclusive Nintendo eShop discount offers or early access to certain content.” That sounds quite intriguing!
