So, what are the chances of Switch Rewards going up tomorrow to coincide with Splatoon 2?

zero

Extremely low.

They did something for the premiere of the Castlevania anime.

Throwing some wallpaper/a small strategy guide/a small discount on Splatoon one seems possible.

Neither of these would be Switch rewards.

Jo Shishido's Cheeks · Jul 20, 2017

I'd be less surprised if they removed the Switch Rewards section with no notice instead of actually adding items to it.

Friend of Sonic · Jul 20, 2017

You'd think they'd introduce the first Switch sales on the eShop (not counting Snake Pass) through My Nintendo.

Weebos · Jul 20, 2017

Switch rewards have been "Coming Soon" for four months now lol.

It's better that zero sales are tied to MyNintendo. Snake Pass developer deserves some praise.

why aren't there themes for the switch yet

Clearly they plan to have them since white and black are there already

So dumb

Zonic · Jul 22, 2017

Eeeh, I'll gladly take more 3DS themes

Though yes, I do wish they'd hurry up & confirm themes for the Switch.

RedColumn · Jul 24, 2017

Finally something good to spend the Gold coins!!
My Nintendo Europe:

EDIT:

For Nintendo 3DS:
Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo (50 Gold coins)
Zen Pinball 3D (50 Gold coins)

For Wii U:
art of balance (90 Gold coins)
Runner 2 (100 Gold coins)

Perfect, I had 50 points expiring this month.

Shiggy · Jul 24, 2017

I have 120 gold points expire next month, so that's much better than the Swapdoodle stuff. Guess I'll be getting Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo and Zen Pinball then.

Urm. Well, runner two is a good game at least, and I vaguely remember hearing decent things about art of balance.

Of course, I bought runner years ago and wouldn't play the others...

Honestly that's probably all the customization they have programmed in for now.

Would you pay 100 gold coins for a "red theme"?

I liked Super Little Acorns, though at that time in my life I was playing every new game for five minutes so I can't speak to its staying power.

Seems like a pretty decent way to spend gold coins though.

It's better than nothing but it's hardly good. I want limited edition SNES joycons with a d-pad goddamit!

Or a Lynel plushie.

Geoff said:

This I would go for.

But I wouldn't expect any of this for buying less than one digital game, heh. 200+ coins minimum; 50 would be a steal.

Phoenixus · Jul 24, 2017

That's definite progress. Curious to what the first Gold Coins Switch game will be. I'm betting on Snake Pass.

Oh yeah - there should be good stuff but you will need to work for it. None of this 12 months expiration though. The whole point is to incentivize purchases. I'm not incentivized by wallpapers or even ancient middle-ranking indie games on an old system. I would be incentivized by cool stuff like limited edition controllers or nerdy, exclusive toys and other junk...or even just new games.

Obviously everyone understands that and I'm preaching to the converted but still

I think I'll cop Picross Round 2. The demo was pretty chill and I'm due for a new puzzle game.

The black arms wallpaper looks great on my work computer.

Is there a "history" of past rewards? Wondering what I missed out on the last few months.

I just learned this week that you can get gold coins from physical games on Switch. Unless there was an update, I thought you could only get them from digital purchases. (I'm going to guess that you can't for physical 3DS, though?)

It's been like that since launch.

No you have to do it manually on your switch. If you don't need the coins, you can wait til 2019 to redeem them.

fernoca · Jul 24, 2017

Also you only earn a fraction of the coins. Like 6 or so, depending on the game. But yeah, it was announced before launch and then the values confirmed after.

You press + on the game tile, then check MyNyntendo options.

Yeah I had no idea, because it wasn't an automatic thing. It wasn't until a news message poppef up on my Switch, did I realize it :/

I redeemed one game to test it, and good to know that you can save them up. I think I gad Splatoon 2 in and it gave me 12 coins. I might just unload and get the Pikmin short movies. Something kinda nice and exclusive, since I don't want coupons or themes etc.

Art of Balance and Runner 2 are both good fun, sure beats letting coins expire.

Haven't played Zen Pinball on 3DS but really liked it on Wii U. Good tables.

Is that Splatoon theme the same one as they released two years ago?

yes -___-

it's always the ones we already bought, just like the Pikmin one :<

Luckily I didn't have the Pikmin one, but this one stings... Stings line ink to the eyes ;_;

Edit: seems I still have this month and next before point start expiring. Guess I'm holding on in vain...

Will get Project Zero 2 Wii Edition the final day I can at least

Ysarus · Jul 24, 2017

Well, it's been a while since we've had new actual rewards! I'm not a huge pinball player but I went for Zen Pinball 3D and it's pretty great. Let's hope they keep offering full games in the coming months...

brickarts295 · Jul 24, 2017

50 Gold coins to expire by the end of the month and all I got as options are 30% discounts for games I already have or played -_-

-shadow- · Jul 24, 2017

I'm actually rather surprised we never got a single full game since the launch of the service until now (or atleast, not that I can think of). That Zelda Picross game, Metroid Fusion and Wario Ware Touched are the only ones I can think of. Two of which were made specifically for the service (or one atleast repackaged). Shame we haven't had more of that kind of software.
