Platinum coins can be exchanged for downloads, reductions and offers. Check out the Rewards section of My Nintendo to see what is currently available.

Is this in Europe? I can see it's on sale in the US shop.

Great, I'll definitely snap that up then.

I've no idea how many of each coins I even have, stopped accumulating platinum coins as I don't use any of their apps anymore, probably have a few gold coins but depending on how much you can save they may well be worthless.

Anyway quick question re pro controllers, are they worth it and is there any difference (besides visual obviously) between any of the 3 different ones on sale? Bonus for the normal one is its pretty easy to obtain, certainly compared to the Xenoblade one.

Eurogamer seem to have multiple sources confirming that Bandai Namco ARE working on Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo.

Ta!

Grab Golf Story folks, it's a treat Though may cost you more than the reduced price due to it fuelling sausage roll hankerings

Interesting, especially that it involves folks that worked on the cancelled Star Wars 1313 game. That seemed like a strictly linear affair so hopefully they can handle the non-linearity of Metroid

I have my fingers crossed Prime 4 is more to my taste than the other Prime sequels. I want to love the Prime series again.

I'm definitely going to pick up Golf Story at some point but I'm wondering whether now is the best time? Does it come up in sales fairly regularly? I've got a backlog already even though I've only had the machine 2 months. Don't want to stick another game on the system that might tear me away from Xenoblade and Splatoon.

Rex, dude, you sound like me. Don't buy it at the moment; you have enough cool stuff to be getting on with .

Why buy now if you've already got plenty to play when you could buy it in 6 months time possibly at a reduced price? No brainer.

I'm new to the Switch so I'm not sure how often games are cycled in and out of sales. If it was on PSN then I know something is likely to come in a sale about once over 4-6 months and usually at the same price.

This is the first time Golf Story has been on sale, I would expect it again but who knows when as it is one of the top selling games before the sale.
