My Nintendo – earn 50 extra Platinum Points, Flipnote Studio 3D returns
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 5 Comments
My Nintendo received a substantial update yesterday in a few ways. The site itself was refreshed with a new look, and some new rewards were added in. We have a couple of extra things to point out that may have gone unnoticed.
First, you can now earn 50 extra Platinum Points. You can do so by clicking on your Mii three different times (on three different pages). The first two times you find your Mii, you’ll earn 10 points, and another 30 for the final time.
Flipnote Studio 3D has also returned, and costs 200 Platinum Points. It carries no expiration date, so the reward won’t be leaving My Nintendo anytime soon.
One other very small but neat detail by the way: you can click on a button on the missions page to collect all points at once.
