And so the floodgates open, others can now get a taste of the Nintendo experience without buying into the hardware side of the ecosystem. Up until now, you still needed a Wii U or 3DS to create a Miiverse account.
Can't wait to see what happens and if this will be an effective promotion of their "premium" console business. Mobile gaming is all about cock teasing anyway, they should use similar techniques with Miitomo and other mobile apps to steer customers toward a console. "Welcome back to Miitomo, now look at all the fun you could be having on NX!"

If I can get Miitomo working, then I can get an easy 300 to add to my 510 platinum points.
Seeing that some rewards expire at the end of April, I wonder if this means Nintendo will be switching them out more often. Though it doesn't seem like physical rewards will be added anytime soon....so might give in to the MK8 OST on eBay...
Trying to decide if I should get WW Touched or TPicross first. Miitomo points can be combined with Platinum points, right? So if I have 500 of Miitomo & then 500 of Platinum, that equals 1,000?

Quoting myself from the other thread, for you rooted folks.
I figured out this was the reason why it wasn't wanting to launch. I just unrooted my android, though if I feel like there's something I needed to keep (I don't think so?), I'll use that.

Reward points for digital games only? What a shit move on Nintendo's part.
No mater what Nintendo does they'll always find some way to screw it up.

I'll be honest: I signed up just to eventually get WarioWare.
I'm liking it more than I thought I would, though.

I agree. I hope it gets better over time. The only way this would be really useful is if you go all digital and it helps if you have both Nintendo consoles. Even then, the discounts cost a lot of points and don't save you that much money.

I'm wondering the same thing. Since it's Nintendo I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't give you the pre-registration bonus in case you don't wait for the e-mail or something no one else mentioned anything so I'm gonna assume you don't have to wait.

Yeah its not working, can't even reset my password since it says my email isnt matching and my username isnt matching
and I checked on my 3DS x Wii u and used the exact same one spelled on there, even when I try to make a new account it says I can't use "kill" and my username is friskykillface on my Nintendo 3DS and Wii u
I think i'm fucked

Your nintendo account page. Account activity.
http://accounts.nintendo.com
DLC does not count for points. Redeemed codes (for games, not DLC) do count. Freebie codes from Nintendo do not count.
just go and get it, all bonuses show up in the apps "gift box"once you link your account...

You can't buy it. It costs zero money. Plus, as I just mentioned, freebie codes from Nintendo don't give coins either.
Miitomo crashes right after opening the app on my iPhone 4
Are you jailbroken, or not up to date iOS wise?

I looked that up and it looks kind of cool. I think I'll try it later.

There's another currency inside Miitomo, you can buy clothes with...

Former NA Club Nintendo members, check your e-mails. You should have received a code for 200 Platinum Points. (Puts me just over the 1000 bar; Picross, here I come.)

Haven't received that email yet. Hope I get it, I'm pretty sure I was using this same email with club Nintendo.
Would be cool if they used My Nintendo missions as an achievement system for NX games.
Edit: and I just got the email for 200 platinum coins for being a Club Nintendo member. 50 to go before picross...
That's what I was thinking, yeah.
So I preregistered a while ago, and this all went live at 6 a.m. EDT ... and Nintendo didn't send me an email about it until 1:52 p.m.? WTF
At least there's a code in this email for getting more platinum points.
[edit] Apparently it's for 200 points. Can't just copy and paste from the email, though, because it counts the hyphens and runs out of room by three characters ... so you have to delete the three hyphens, go back to your email, highlight the last three characters of the code, copy them, then go back and paste them to the end of your code entry on My Nintendo. What a hassle. It should automatically detect the hyphens and ignore them.

No, it's the second DS title they've recompiled as DSiWare to give away in a rewards program.

Yeah this would be great.
Xbox Achievements
PSN Trophies
and Nintendo Missions would be really good (better than the Accomplishments).

Was afraid of this but this is basically worthless to me. I buy a lot of Nintendo products but since I buy mostly physical I won't be able to get any type of rewards. The few digital games I buy will end up expiring before I can save them up and use them. Pretty disappointed and hope they make some changes.

Just a little confused. I get that My Nintendo is a loyalty program which can offer discounts for digital purchases.
But what's new with the enhanced eShop? Is it up yet? What's "enhanced" about it? Are we finally going to have an account system with it so we don't have to worry about redownloading games on different consoles (a la PSN/XBOX)?

There's still ways to get Platinum coins to exchange for software. Only gold coins require buying from the eShop.
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.

is the point box necessary? i don't get the purpose.
It's just Nintendo.com/eshop
You can purchase from your phone/computer and downloads start on your NNID linked console automatically. All the old account system rules apply (games still tied to hardware).
Just to add some Nintendo flare and to be part of the tutorial.
Reminds me of freemium games though, where they give you a premium currency then force you to buy something with it.

It's weird how some have more than others. If I were to complete the Face to Face friend through Miitomo my total amount of coins would end up being 945. Seems some have been able to collect coins others couldn't.
Those spent coins are for the tutorial. You got 50 net. The 50 you spent were for your coin box.
They do expire after 6 months.
I appreciate the feedback on my post, t. I do look at it as a value proposition from an RNG sort of perspective. I think that's the right term. I recognize that it's not the same as paying $230 for a copy of a game that costs $20 normally. But I like to try to figure out the overall best value proposition. I agree it's a loyalty program and a bonus and even if it were only 5% for everything I'd be thrilled to get anything. But since there is some flexibility in utilizing it, I want to figure out the way to get the coins most cheaply.
I do completely see what you said about the Splatoon discount and I appreciate you breaking down the math on that. Thank you. Ultimately though for the 15% discounts I feel like the best bet is waiting for a sale on those games. That's too small of a discount to amount to much I think vs. other kinds of sales (presuming there will still be non-MyNintendo sales) or other MyN point usages. As to the 30% discounts, as you said those are a better deal.
It's unclear if purchases less than 5 pounds/dollars/Euros/etc. are meant to get coins. The site says no, some people are reporting that they're getting them though. So I want to try to get some myself before they potentially turn that glitch off, if it is one.
Yes, you will get points based on the criteria Moon described.
By not meaning in the same region, they may be getting different amount of points. I would want to make sure everyone got their pre-reg bonus as well as the secret 10 point mission, though.
(Is there more than one secret mission?)Right. I imagine DKCR might give gold points once it's up on the eShop (or even now), though.
