My Nintendo added in some discounts for North American members a few days ago. However, there’s one additional reward not on the site until now.

For 20 Gold Points, you can pick up a 30% discount on Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It expires on April 2 – just like the previous discounts from the weekend.

Thanks to TruExtent for the tip.

Europe added in some new My Nintendo rewards yesterday, and the same has now been done in North America as well. A few new discounts are now up on the site.

The lineup is as follows:

Wii U

15% discount on Yoshi’s Woolly World – 450 Platinum Points
20% discount on Kirby’s Epic Yarn – 400 Platinum Points
30% discount on Yoshi – 20 Gold Points

3DS

30% discount on Dedede’s Drum Dash – 20 Gold Points
30% discount on Yoshi – 20 Gold Points

All of these rewards will be available until April 2. You can check them out on My Nintendo here.

My Nintendo has been updated in Europe with several new rewards.

First, Flipnote Studio 3D is now available to all. It can be redeemed one time for 200 Platinum Coins.

In terms of digital content, a number of discounts have gone live. Here’s the full lineup:

The Nintendo Accounts website has been updated with a new page containing a QR code for registered members. By using it, you can “check in at select Nintendo events and locations.”

Now, what’s the purpose of this? “Checking in gives you access to exclusive My Nintendo member benefits that may be available,” Nintendo says. It’s worth noting that benefits will vary, and details will be shared in the future.

You can access your unique QR code here.

My Nintendo displays a variety of Mii animations on its homepage. These are shown at random, and include things like your character playing a 3DS.

One of these animations can actually net you a few extra coins. Described as a “secret mission”, if you pop the relevant balloon, you’ll earn 10 Platinum Points. It should be clearly visible since you’ll see the middle balloon has a Platinum coin tied to it.

Refresh My Nintendo’s homepage, and you should find the Platinum Points balloon soon enough.

We shared a My Nintendo video that was on the European eShop earlier this month, but an English version has now been made available. Check it out below.

A pair of My Nintendo discounts can now be redeemed in Australia. On Wii U, a 20% discount on Nintendo Selects: New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U is on the site for 40 Gold Points. And on 3DS, there’s a 20% discount on New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 70 Gold Points. Both will last until March 1.

The full lineup is as follows:

All of these discounts are located on My Nintendo here.

Earlier today, we heard that Nintendo started to send out invitations to select My Nintendo members for a hands-on Switch event. Now we have additional information about the locations and more.

First, the lineup of confirmed cities and their dates are as follows:

New York – January 13 – 15
Washington, D.C. – February 10 – 12
Chicago – February 17 – 19
Los Angeles – February 24 – 26
San Francisco – March 3 – 5

You’ll notice that each city has opportunities available for three days. Nintendo says Friday and Saturday are invite-only, while “Sunday is open to the public on a first-come, first served basis and no registration is required.” Those who attend can also bring along one guest.

Nintendo has started to send out emails to select My Nintendo members in the United States about an opportunity to try out Switch prior to launch.

The message states that another email from Eventbrite will be coming soon, which will have “full details” about the event and opportunity to register. Tickets will be provided “on a first come, first served basis”.

It’s unclear what the criteria is to be sent an invitation. Your location likely plays a role, however.

We’ve included the full email message below.
