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.

Four new Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo are out today. Fans can pick up 8-bit Link, Ocarina of Time Link, and Toon Link/Wind Waker Zelda in a double pack. Nintendo has now revealed how each one functions in Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo says that each amiibo provides random items. Those who are lucky may even receive a treasure chest with a rare item.

Scanning each figure will give you the following:

– 8-bit Link will reward you with a random number of barrels. You might find rupees inside too!
– Ocarina of Time Link will reward you with a random amount of meat.
– Toon Link will reward you with a random amount of fish.
– Wind Waker Zelda will reward you with a random selection of plants.

Other Zelda amiibo will be compatible with Breath of the Wild. When scanning Wolf Link, he’ll become a companion partner. The three figures slated for next year – Link (Archer), Link (Rider), and Guardian – will also work with the game.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero may finally have a release date – at least in Europe. An eShop listing has the game down for December 20. It will cost €16.99.

Here’s the listing in question:

WayForward hasn’t said anything official about Shantae: Half-Genie Hero’s release date, but we know that it’s coming very soon. It wouldn’t be surprising at all to hear that December 20 is final. If WayForward says anything new or if we receive some North American news, we’ll let you know.
