Good news, though the exchange rate will likely be absolutely rubbish.

At least I can use them for something.

I liked Club Nintendo and My Nintendo has been pretty rubbish, really. I had 70-odd gold coins expire a few weeks ago because their were - for me - no decent offers. It's amazing that My Nintendo launched around the time of the Switch launch and yet there has Nintendo been a single Switch offer.

Nintendo has gained - quite rightly, in my view - a lot of praise for the Switch launch and the range of great games, but it has taken a big step backwards in terms of the "Nintendo"-type customer engagement things that previously existed (Club Nintendo, Channels, Miiverse, themes, friend comms, eShop, Badge Arcade, Street Pass, Miis) with all of them being either closed or forgotten about. In my view, these things played a big part in what made Nintendo different from other game manufacturers.

Edited: Spelling corrections.

My digital points will start expiring end of March, but I've yet to claim on any of my physical games.

...I need to chill out after my little diatribe. Hey, a Zelda "Green Goddess" satin robe is now available :toot:

.

You could exchange Club Nintendo points for Wii store vouchers but the exchange rate was terrible. I’m sure it was something like 1000 points (four full price games) to get a fiver voucher.

I don't think I have claimed any coins since my launch games... How exactly do you claim the coins again?

Also, is it worth claiming now or are they changing the rates so they are improved now?

You can claim free gooseberry fool from Switch games?

...spend £40, get gold coins worth £2. It's equivalent to 5% back.

My Xenoblade Pro Controller arrived - just tried it out. I was a little unsure at first as the analogue sticks stick out rather far (at least for what I'm used to) but after maybe 10 minutes gameplay I got used to it and I'm very happy with it.

How do you claim your My Nintendo coins on digital purchases then? When I go to the reward screen on each game it says I need to insert the game card but they are digital copies?

I think they're auto redeemed.

I suspect this may have already been posted, but I'm being lazy. Either way, Pillars of Eternity 2 is great news for Switch owners.

Finally something to spend them on however I tend to buy physical games, I just checked my account and because some have expired I only have 144 gold coins, so that’s a amazing £1.44

PostRe: Nintendo Switch Chat thread by **ITSMILNER** » Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:10 am

I have 400 odd but I haven’t claimed on most of my physical collection so will do that when it becomes live

What happens with the silver coins? Can they be exchanged for gold or are they just useless?
