My Nintendo began to display the amount of points that are expiring on your account back in September. With the recent website refresh, it has now been extended further.

The mystery behind Miyamoto’s new Mario shirt
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments
Shigeru Miyamoto was seen wearing a new shirt featuring Mario, who is donned in samurai gear, during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Harmless, right? You would think so, but there’s apparently something going on there.
Nintendo’s Bill Trinen started the speculation train after he wrote the following on Twitter:
@trintran Cause I know what's up.
— Bill Trinen (@trintran) December 9, 2016
The shirt could be related to Super Mario Run. On the other hand, many believe it could have something to do with the upcoming Mario title for Switch. It’s worth noting that the kanji on Miyamoto’s shirt signifies “ran” (or “run”).

Most of you are probably familiar with Pokemon Generations – the webseries has been running on Youtube for a while now, and there are only four episodes left. But did you know that Pokemon Generations wasn’t available in Japanese until today? Despite being obviously produced in Japan, the episodes were only uploaded to The Pokemon Company’s various international Youtube channels in a variety of languages, but never to their Japanese channel. That changed today, however, as the first six episodes are now available in Japanese. You can check them out on the Japanese Pokemon Youtube channel here.
