Last chance to register physical Switch launch games on My Nintendo
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
It’s officially the start of March. In just a couple of days, the Switch will be celebrating its first anniversary.
This has important implications for My Nintendo. If you picked up a physical copy of a game during Switch’s launch like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, don’t forget to register it on the website. Per Nintendo’s guideline, Gold Points need to be claimed within one year of the game’s original release date. If you attempt to register Breath of the Wild on March 4 – a day after the initial launch – you’ll be out of luck.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Bomberman R, Skylanders: Imaginators, 1-2 Switch, and Just Dance 2017 were Switch’s launch games. We’re pointing out the obvious, but the one-year rule also applies to every Switch title going forward.
