My Nintendo is well underway as the loyalty programme for big N fans, and though it has areas in which it can improve it's certainly full of positives and potential. One criticism, however, has centred around relatively tough expiry dates on some rewards - perhaps aware of the issue, Nintendo has now moved to extend three deadlines.
The following Platinum rewards have had their expiry dates moved from 1st May to 30th June:
- Mario Outfit (Miitomo) - 250 Platinum Points
- My Nintendo Theme 1: Mario - 200 Platinum Points
- My Nintendo Theme 2: Donkey Kong - 200 Platinum Points
There are a number of other rewards due to expire on 1st May, though most are game discounts that are arguably due a refresh. In any case, it's good to see extensions on a few options to give gamers a bit more time.
Will you be using the extra time to earn these Platinum rewards?

Nice that they're extending it for folks who want it. But as for me, I wait until July when a new game replaces WarioWare: Touched. Hopefully something just as good replaces it.
..meh, already got everything I want..thought the time was to long already.. Besides we all know they'll be repeated...
I'm waiting on a replacement of Twilight Princess Picross.
I'm just waiting for a new game that I be able to purchase with platinum points
I am still trying to earn more platinum points for Twilight Princess Picross..
That probably means they won't be replacing those themes until a bit later, then. That sucks!
My Nintendo needs way more games.
Miitomo is sooooo boring. My Nintendo is nice, but I just uninstalled Miitomo.
Hoping for something on Wii U to use my platinum points on
I don't mind the extension dates, but I guess that means I'll have to wait longer for a potential Luigi hat and theme. Make it happen, Nintendo!
I already got Zelda Picross twice, one for each 3DS (home and go). And WarioWare Touched once (few hundred coins away from getting it twice as well).
Working on getting DKC Returns VC with my gold coins. Only have 100 and 80 atm but I'll get there.
I presume you guys knew this before my heads up then
Gonna keep my coins for as long as possible. I certainly see no reason whatsoever to pick up the digital DS games considering the N3DS (well the entire 3DS line in general) is backward compatible with physical DS games.
I've never been much a fan of picross so that's out.
The themes are tempting because they're truly exclusive to My Nintendo. Then again, they're themes -_-.
Bottom line: Boy do I miss physical rewards. Would LOVE if they put some My Nintendo branded draw-string soft cases up. Or maybe some My Nintendo exclusive 3DS cover plates. The coins would be spent.
YES! Thank goodness, now I can concentrate on getting the Splatoon items.
Right now I'm just working on getting more Platinum points for Twilight Princess Picross (or whatever replaces WarioWare). By my estimates it will take 3-5 weeks to get back to 1000 coins, depending on how much I use Miitomo.
To me this is a much worse system than club Nintendo. At least then I could keep all my coins until I was ready for something. Now they will expire right before the good stuff appears.
can't spend any coins, I need them for themes and the Wario free game. i already got Picross, now I need Wario
Well I'm just 300 coins away of getting the last item I want (picross),so I'm a bit interested of what they'll roll out at the end of June (hoping for a different game!)
Aww. I was hoping for more themes next week
I got both Zelda Picross and WarioWare so now I'm saving up for the next freebie game. Here's hoping it's a good one (and preferably one that doesn't need to be stored on the 3DS itself as mine is running out of space)...
I would get the themes if they featured music from the universe the character displayed is from. Like I need DK music on my 3DS home screen :c
I already bought WarioWare, so I'm trying to get TP Picross next, but I'll wait and see if WarioWare is replaced with another DS game.
Wish they would refresh items every two weeks or so. Waiting for them change things 2 months or longer can be frustrating especially if I already own must of the games they're offering. Plus I don't want my coins to be wasted.
@LordGeovanni Same
That's nice but nothing I'm interested in as I deleted Miitomo just used it to get enough points for picross. How do I see when my platinum points expire?
I´ll wait for a Zelda Picross replacement, Picross´games aren't my thing.
I my 3DS is outta action, I'd love to use my points and get some stuff for my two kids 2DS systems, is this an option?
Could that perhaps mean that soon they will expand Miitomo to be available globally?
Miitomo got boring and drained my phone battery so I uninstalled it. I have enough coins for wario touched though. Is it worth getting please?
Still waiting for something to spend my 1500 coins on
