There is an option for point codes, so maybe in the future games will ship with them.
Anyone else having issues getting the platinum coins for "Sign into Nintendo eShop (weekly)"? I've gotten the bonus coins for most other stuff, and I've signed into the eShop today (and made a purchase as well), but the missions is still showing as "active" instead of "get coins" (or completed).

Oh goddammit. Why?!
I just received an email with a redeemable code for points. I'm thinking it will just be for promotional stuff like that.
Here's hoping though.
Yeah, I just realized I got that email, too.
It seems like it would be pretty easy to give rewards for physical games considering you can already redeem codes for other things.
Unless Nintendo's gonna be pushing all digital really hard.
I guess I can dream...

Having something similar with linking other accounts like Twitter, I've linked everything already but not getting the completion.

Is there a reason MyNintendo isn't showing Miitomo linked to it?

I believe I read that you get points based on the regular cost of a game. So if you buy a game that's on sale for less than $5, that normally costs between $5-$10. you will still get points for it.
I don't think games that normally cost less than $5 get you points. I think that's an oversight because you are still spending money on the eShop, so I think it should be worth some points.

I don't know what "Perks at Retail Stores, etc." is supposed to mean exactly, but they are planning on offering some incentives for buying physical games at retail, for you who are wondering about that.

I've got to say I've had a pretty good initial experience with My Nintendo, and its integration with Nintendo Accounts and NNIDs. This afternoon I did the following:
The second issue is that 3DS downloads are cripplingly slow, but I've just come to accept that as a fact of life now. At least Wii U downloads tick by at a reasonable enough speed.
- Signed up for My Nintendo (fairly trivial)
- Get a few hundred platinum coins for basic setup
- Notice that there's a 20% off coupon for Zelda:ALBW, which I was going to buy soon anyway, and that I already have enough platinum coins for it
- Spend my coins on the coupon, then go over to the Zelda:ALBW page on the Nintendo website (which already has the price marked down to 15.99 for me)
- Pay for the game on the website (combining a card payment with money I already had on my Nintendo Account)
- Check my 3DS to see that ALBW has already started downloading

What was the first?

I've just realized that being in Europe and spending 300 platinum coins of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds discount allows you to buy ALBW for around 15 euro. That's freaking awesome.

Did you get any gold coins for that?
IF your country has Miitomo ... otherwise it is a 4 month battle =P
A little less if you see the Club Nintendo email with bonus platinum points ... but yeah

Hmmm, will probably be partnership with their big 3, Gamestop, Amazon, bestbuy (and possibly target/wal-mart as well). Basically games themselves won't have codes, but you might get an email or it'll be printed on your receipt. Ideally a QR code you can scan on your phone or console.

Jailbroken, yes. Up to date as an iPhone 4 can be, 7.1.2.
I like the design, I like the rewards so far.
It looks very Nintendo but also quite modern and usable - if they follow this design philosophy they might make a good OS for the first time.
Rewards are great, I'm thinking of getting Yoshi with that 20% off coupon.
Edit: There also is a menu point for typing in a code. I guess they will add coupons to the physical games again.

It is, and you get those coins pretty much straight away after signing up.
Yep, 20. I'm not 100% sure if the number of gold coins you get is based on the full price or the discounted price, though, as I'd get 20 gold coins either way.

Miitomo crashes right after opening the app on my iPhone 4
I thought we covered this.

On Nintendo's website.
It wouldnt surprise me if it was based on the actual price. Either way that's really nice.
Anyone else get an email for bonus Platinum Points for being a Club Nintendo member? Email also linked to a new (I think) store page.

Looks like eShop balance is correctly applied now when buying via the web. Went to the checkout page for Pokemon Yellow and it had my credit balance and showed what it would be after purchase.

The Nintendo site itself on each page of the game you can purchase it.
IGN interviewed Bill Trinen. Interesting quote about My Nintendo and physical rewards:
The bolded has me hopeful they'll reward players for buying physical games in the future, but we'll see.

Seems maybe they'll even throw in coins for buying amiibo or Nintendo merchandise. That'd be pretty cool.
I know quite a few mobile apps that sell merchandise include download codes on the tags for stuff in the game.

That's just stupid. Wasn't Club Nintendo points good for at least 1 year?
Can't believe I'm already missing Club Nintendo. I just wanted a proper account, ffs, is that too much to ask.

Don't know if it was mentioned before but I just got 60 Gold coins for buying Fire Emblem Awakening on the 3DS. But it said I finished the mission and bought a game between 40 and 50 euros but the game is lowered in the price and cost only 30 instead its normal 45. So even when you buy a special offer you will receive the coins like you would have bought it at full price. Hope this isn't just a glitch.

Well some people are gonna make a fortune of Gold Coins on those Atlus sales.
Anywayz: I have nothing to run Miitomo, really wish they also made 3DS/WiiU version. Oh well. I guess 60 coins a week for logging in to eShop/Miiverse will have to do.
This says to me not only physical games, but as speculated by ballad, amiibo, Nintendo merchandise...and more, like attending their theme park at Universal Studios once it opens, stuff like that.
They actually remember that W101 exists.
Good point. Trying to think of a reason. Maybe as a marker of app usage.
I think so, yes. In this very moment seem more bande to retail eshop cards but Nintendo could give us back codes sheets in retail boxes in any moment
I was wondering what kind of value you get per coin when you redeem prizes, so here's an example for the US store.
Not sure about the Mario Land 2 price. But as you can see, the rewards are pretty much standardised value so you can't go wrong picking what you want. DKCR has the worst value for money. I can't access Miitomo so couldn't put a value on that stuff.
Code:
Prizes (USA)---------------------Coins-------------Value-------Coins needed for $1 value
15% off Zelda WW 750 platinum $7.50 100
15% off Yoshi's WW 750 platinum $7.50 100

15% off AC: New Leaf 450 platinum $4.50 100
15% off Mario 3D Land 450 platinum $4.50 100

30% off Splatoon 140 gold $18.00 7.8
30% off Capitan Todd 100 gold $12.00 8.3
30% off Zelda MM 3D 100 gold $12.00 8.3
30% off Ultimate NES Remix 70 gold $9.00 7.8

Can confirm Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl gives you 30 coins despite it being on sale for $13.99 CDN (it's normally $29.99 CDN).
Edit: Wait, maybe not. Is there an option to see how you got gold points specifically?
Edit 2: Found it, it's in the tiny icon on the top left of the My Nintendo page. And yep, I can confirm what I said above!

There is the problem the app does a root/jailbreak check, I've posted the fixes for Android, I have no idea if there is a fix on the Apple side of things, sorry :/

Discounted games give you the FULL price credit for gold coins.
Example: I just bought Yoshi's Story. Normal price is $9.99, but since I'd bought it on Wii already, I only paid $2.00. I still got credit for paying $9.99 though because I have 10 gold coins now! Hurrah!
