https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.zaaa ... going to try sideloading this thing.

There are items that cost up to $75?? What.

Also, why does it say 1-5 installs? Does that mean that I won't be able to install it 15 years from now when I'm on my sixth phone? Or does that mean simultaneously?

It only working with digital purchases is kinda stupid when you consider NoA releasing the Wolf Link Amiibo exclusively with the physical copy of Twilight Princess HD and not also on its own like in Europe and Japan.

I want to buy Pokken digitally for the coins, but I want the Amiibo card. What, am I supposed to buy it twice?

 

[Kouriozan]

Achievements-like system to get points is what I predicted (the "earn them by playing"), pretty cool.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I imagine the IAP is virtual currency (most likely the tickets mentioned in the my nintendo rewards), and $75 is to get a lot at once

 

[Platy]

3 diferent currencies is ... complicated

 

[tonyh24613]

Wait how does someone already have 510 platinum coins?

Preregister gives you 200, linking NNID gives 100.

 

[Kinsei]

Seems like it'll take awhile to get TP Picross

If my math is right it should take less than two weeks as long as you do all of the daily and weekly challenges in Miitomo.

 

[Chopper]

I am baffled by this.

 

[Dicer]

Edit: wrong thread....

 

[zoobzone]

Is the Miimoto app not on iTunes yet?

I did some weekly challenge involving going on the eShop to get 30 Platinum coins.

Try the link here.

Worked. Downloading Miitomo now. Probably won't use it ever, but eh, wanna try it!

I just want a beanie hat. Don't let the beanie hat cost 75 $ Nintendo, please.

I know approximately 2 people that I could hassle into downloading Miitomo as well, so I am not too confident I'll get anywhere near 1000 Platinum Points = Zelda Picross in the close future. I'll gladly take free Pikmin DLC as digital purchase bonus though! Smash and Fire Emblem DLC when?

I haven't finished Twilight Princess yet. Could the Picross game have spoilers?

Concerning Miitomo: Tough luck, only iOS 7 and up supported. This will come to Android devices too, right? Should I check my phone specs for compatibility, is that mentioned somewhere?

 

[A Link to the Past]

Can someone explain the Miitomo points? Are they basically Platinum points, but only accessible in Miitomo?

The only spoilers the Picross game could have are on the front cover of the game so I wouldn't worry about that.

Yeah, probably just to buy stuff in Miitomo.

 

[Nanashrew]

Seems like it. Other games will likely get game specific achievements too. That's my guess anyway.

 

[MillionStabs]

Is there any benefit for people outside of Japan using this? Or should we just wait for My Nintendo?

 

[Elija2]

If my math is right it should take less than two weeks as long as you do all of the daily and weekly challenges in Miitomo.

The Miitomo challenges only give you Miitomo points. The GoNintendo rewards list doesn't seem to differentiate between the Miitomo and Platinum points even though they're listed as different currencies.

EDIT: GoNintendo also messed up and listed WarioWare: Touched! as a 3DS reward even though it's most likely a Wii U reward.

 

[-Horizon-]

There better be a scarf in miitomo.

 

[Zonic]

So I can only earn about 60 platinum points per week by logging in to Miiverse & such?

Feels like it'll take longer to get certain rewards that I want, like TP Picross. But I'm liking the rewards so far. Now hopefully we could see physical stuff returning.

 

[Zolbrod]

I've been looking desperately for it, but can't find it anywhere.
The official Miitomo website just says that preregistration has finished and doesn't take you anywhere.

Completely stumped here.

 

[Toki767]

2 different currencies make this feel like a free to play game. One for actually playing. One spending real money lol

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Do you get rewards for buying physical games?

 

[Tenrius]

If you have a Japanese 3DS/Wii U, sure.

 

[KingWool]

Do you get rewards for buying physical games?

Nope. You gotta pay MSRP on their eShop

 

[Kinsei]

Oh, that sucks then.

 

[tonyh24613]

Miitomo coin is "Pt coin earned by playing Miitomo". it can be used to get the TP picross, so it's possible to get TP picross today.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Nintendo just needs to make a Picross game with downloadable themed puzzle packs instead of releasing separate games for a theme.

Honestly that could a good free to play game on mobile devices.

 

[BY2K]

If we can earn discounts and free games by unlocking achievements in NX games...

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Nope. You gotta pay MSRP on their eShop

Well that's dumb...

 

[Kouriozan]

Even better!
Praise DeNA!

I think that's what they've actually talked about before.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Wait, I thought Miitomo coins (other than for pre-registering) are special and separate from platinum and gold coins. Are you yelling me they aren't and playing Miitomo will net you 3DS/Wii U/NX downloads?

Edit: ah I see! So they're platinum coins just with the Miitomo logo at the centre, very nice!

 

[Malus]

I was holding out hope: https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/4aku6l/mynintendo_will_apparently_reward_your_physical/

 

[WillyFive]

Not a fan of the F2P-like different currencies model.

 

[Regiruler]

If my math is right it should take less than two weeks as long as you do all of the daily and weekly challenges in Miitomo.

Those miitomo coins aren't platinum coins.

EDIT: er, I guess they are? I am confused by the different buckets in the picture then.

 

[Pancake Mix]

Tonyh is saying they are, and if you can buy TP Picross with them, then they effectively are. So are they held in a different "wallet" than other platinum coins or what?

I was holding out hope: https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/4aku6l/mynintendo_will_apparently_reward_your_physical/

Well, if true one of the CS service reps stated that was only for packaged software in the case of the NX, no 3DS or Wii U. So there's still hope.

 

[Crayolan]

I hope on NX all virtual console/eshop games can also be bought with coins.

If we can earn discounts and free games by unlocking achievements in NX games...

That's way too forward-thinking for Nintendo.

 

[Elija2]

Yeah, I was wrong. According to this screenshot, the Miitomo points also count as Platinum points.

I'm not sure what's the point of making them different.

 

[EloNoolah]

It only working with digital purchases is kinda stupid when you consider NoA releasing the Wolf Link Amiibo exclusively with the physical copy of Twilight Princess HD and not also on its own like in Europe and Japan.

I want to buy Pokken digitally for the coins, but I want the Amiibo card. What, am I supposed to buy it twice?

What sucks the most is that physical bundles with exclusive amiibo have more or less become the new normal for big Nintendo releases these days. But now it looks like they're going to cannibalize those sales by only making the digital versions My Nintendo eligible??? None of it makes any sense to me.

 

[Doctre81]

From what I gather the discount are not exclusive to digital games. Once you link your account you should get the discounts for purchasing the games physical too. One of the points of having this master account is so we don't have to enter the key codes anymore from the box. It will probably automatically up once you boot the game for the first time.

At least I hope. I'm not going all digital.

 

[BY2K]

But some items can be bought only with one of the other but some will accept both?

No, gold coins are eShop only for 3DS and Wii U at least. But I'm not going digital either.

Only NOA does this. It's bullshit.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

even if not games and just DLC I will say wow

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Only NOA does this. It's bullshit.

NOA has actually got the least amount of amiibo bundles. We didn't get the Splatoon or Captain Toad amiibo bundle whereas Europe and Japan did.

 

[Doctre81]

No, gold coins are eShop only for 3DS and Wii U at least. But I'm not going digital either.

Oh well. I'm not losing my gamers club discount over that anyway lol.

 

[metsallica]

I got a nice Mario theme so far. Hooray?

 

[PtM]

Is this coming here soon? I got Pokken to buy on the eShop but if I miss out on some sweet gold coins by a couple days...

End of March.

 

[Nanashrew]

It would be great for me! If I can use points on DLC that means I can focus my real money towards more games.
