So....nothing has changed with E3? Do you think they are waiting until the initial flurry of coins from new system associated purchases expire before bringing out the good stuff?
Yep, pretty much.No, the "good stuff " is never coming. This is what the service is.
Another great deal:
30 gold coins to get 10% off on Ever Oasis or RPG Maker Fes (saves you 4 EUR).
You can also just preorder the games at retail for a lower price. This program is really the gift that keeps on giving.
This whole "rewards program" is just a campaign to get people to stop buying physical and start buying everything digital so that Nintendo makes a lot more money by taking away not just the physical product, but your ability to lend or sell your games.
By "no rewards" do you mean "no worthwhile rewards"? Because you do absolutely earn rewards on digital games purchase through the eShop. So I'm a little confused.The way the program is currently structured, it rather deters from buying digital. Digital = more expensive, no resale, no rewards. Retail = Much cheaper, resale, no My Nintendo rewards either.
Normally you want to reward your customers with a loyalty program to gain customers' loyalty. When a loyalty program has bad rewards as this, it achieves the opposite. Your customers are more dissatisfied than if you had no such program at all.

On Switch you earn a fraction of rewards for physical, 20% I think.
Anyway, agreed, it's certainly not accomplishing its goal. But it's pretty clear they hoped that they'd accomplish it.
Yeah, okay, I did understand you correctly. I'm being strict about the term, you're rejecting the use of the term.Well, do you consider what is up on the store right now a "reward"? I wouldn't say so.

It doesn't have much value to me, nocertainly not enough to drive purchasing behavior in any way. But it's still technically a "rewards program", even if the rewards are valueless.
Anyway, this is semantics.
I really think you're arguing with something I'm not saying.But to encourage people to buy more digitally, they would need to offer something that people see value in. 30% off games that are way cheaper at retail isn't really too encouraging.

Yes she got the discount at the beginning of the month, the coins itself on her birthday.Did she get the Birthday discount? Maybe they change the gift.
Fils-Aime also discussed My Nintendo and what the future holds for the company's rewards program. "From the Nintendo of America standpoint, we have it as a priority to make My Nintendo much more meaningful moving forward," he said. When asked if physical rewards might ever come to the program, Fils-Aime said "it could" before discussing a few of the challenges that come with doing something like that in the Americas.
"The challenge I would just share is, unlike Japan, which is a very concentrated market, I've got to create solutions that are going to work for Canada, that are going to work for Latin America," he explained, noting that because it's a "much more diverse marketplace... physical goods gets a little more challenging." That isn't to say Nintendo is ruling it out, though. "Could I envision unique physical goods as part of the program? Sure. But it really needs to work for all of our consumers, not just the consumers in the United States," he added.

Great way to marginalize your customers, Reggie.
Just wait until the paid online, they'll surely do something then!No, the "good stuff " is never coming. This is what the service is.
Can they just give me more FE Heroes orbs?
To celebrate the launch, we've prepared two special new wallpapers featuring all ten fighters. Be sure to redeem your My Nintendo points and download yours today.
Wallpaper - ARMS - All-Stars 1 (Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Master Mummy and Mechanica)
Wallpaper - ARMS - All-Stars 2 (Min Min, Twintelle, Byte&Barq, Kid Cobra and Helix)
Is there really not going to be bigger rewards update in the middle of the month?
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.
Y'all were foolin yourselves that Switch was going to make it better.
There was never anything stopping them from giving away games like before, they just don't want to do it.
Now that they're planning "virtual console as a service" on the Switch (next year when paid online is instituted), stuff like free VC game rewards are never coming back, IMHO.
And Salmon Rush means I'm going to have to pay for online if I buy a Switch. Salmon, wielding skillets, coming for revenge (and a monthly service fee).
I want Xenoblades 3ds 😬...
Any chances we will see that happening ?
Might get a discount around the time when Xenoblade 2 releases.

The fact that the points expire is the biggest kick in the ass of all. I mean, there's nothing to spend them on. At least let me hoard them.Was going to spend my expiring coins on ARMS wallpaper - "not available in your region". Failing to pay for region locked wallpaper in 2017. What a time to be alive.
My 3ds is EU we had it also but I missed it 😬I don't know what region your in but I recall NA getting the discount for it.
I don't know how the birthday offers work exactly, but mine was in April and Xenoblade X didn't have a discount.I really wish I hadn't forgotten about that RPG rewards expiration. Hopefully Xenoblade X is still a Birthday offer in October like last year.

How much does it cost on the eshop?Dang, bought those only half a year ago on a whim. Should've known they'd be prime for this eventually.
