A few new Starter Guides can now be redeemed on My Nintendo. Guides for Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid: Samus Returns, Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are available for 75 Platinum Points each.

Note that these guides aren’t the complete versions. They provide introductory information as opposed to laying everything out entirely.

In any case, these rewards can be redeemed on My Nintendo here.

It’s the start of a new month, which means some new rewards have gone live on My Nintendo. Here’s what’s new on the European site:

My Nintendo has added in a number of rewards in Europe. Along with discounts, a few 3DS themes are now available.

Here’s the full roundup:

A trio of new rewards can be redeemed over on My Nintendo over on North America.

First, a Kirby Star Allies wallpaper is up for 50 Platinum Points. Super Mario 3D Land and Paper Mario: Sticker Star Prima guides are also on the site. These can be redeemed for 20 Gold Points each.

You can find these rewards on My Nintendo here.

Update: With this update, the Switch eShop has also been updated to show how many gold points can be earned from a digital purchase.


Original: Nintendo recently announced that it would be possible to use My Nintendo Gold Points when purchasing digital games on Switch. This is going into effect starting today, which should be as soon as maintenance ends (roughly 90 minutes from now).

The way this works is that Switch owners can get 5% back on digital purchases and 1% back on games bought physically. You’ll be able to apply Gold Points to purchases during checkout on the eShop or on Nintendo’s website. 1 Gold Point amounts to 1 cent. Another way of putting this: if you pay $59.99 for a game on the eShop, you’ll earn 300 Gold Points, which can be $3.00 towards your next purchase.

Here’s the full rundown from Nintendo:

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.

Mario Day, otherwise known as MAR10 Day, goes live later this month. In celebration, a number of new rewards have been added to My Nintendo in North America. Members can get their hands on the latest discounts, a 3DS theme, and new media items.
