Also, how many gold points you get per purchase is changing. Here are the new exchange rates for digital and physical games:

DeNA CEO: Mario Kart Tour will be “free-to-start”
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Nintendo recently announced their next mobile game, Mario Kart Tour. They didn’t really divulge any details beyond the game’s name, other than a very vague release date of “fiscal year 2018”. However, we learned a pretty crucial fact today. According to Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki, Isao Moriyasu, the CEO of DeNA, Nintendo’s partner in the mobile games business, said that Mario Kart Tour would be “free-to-start”, like Fire Emblem Heroes and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

Maintenance update
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Site updates | 0 comments
Hello! If you’ve been having any issues accessing the site over the past couple of days, it’s been intentional. Mostly.
We’ve been carrying out some much-needed site maintenance this week. We didn’t really expect things to last as long as they did, unfortunately. If we anticipated maintenance taking multiple days, we would have provided advance notice. The site has been up for the most part, but today in particular there were issues. We’re mostly done… for this week anyway, though if you happen to see any downtime (it’s very unlikely), you’ll know why.
There’s actually a ton that we still have to do from a technical perspective, but in the near-term, it shouldn’t impact anyone who visits Nintendo Everything normally. This year, hopefully sooner rather than later, we hope to make some improvements that won’t just be for the backend of the site. While we’re definitely not going for an overhaul/redesign, we’ll be implementing at least one change that has been requested in the past.
Thanks for bearing with us!
