Nindies and DLC Included Among New My Nintendo Rewards in Europe

Ok I suppose but always want more😂

I don't think I'll ever use any of my points at this rate.

Don't worry. America's rewards aren't any better.

Got the MK8 DLC, hoping to see similar things in the future.

Slowly put your head on your desk. Than pull back and quickly bash it onto your desk. Do this until the slim pickings for My Nintendo start making sense to you.

Discounts on games we already own isn't an improvement. Like c'mon, MK8 has what? A 50%(edit: it's now actually closer to 60%) attach rate. How many people are going to find that discount useful? And 2 of their main SKU console bundles already come with the game preloaded.

Who is coming up with these offers?! They really should figure this out before NX launches.

Yeah these discounts kinda suck

I want actual rewards not discounts. More free downloads would be best!

The Discounts so far generally seem pointless. I've stopped looking at my Nintendo. It's designed to encourage people to buy of the eshop but the discounts are still more expensive then a good hard retail copy. Dlc discounts for 3 yr old games don't set the world alight either. Guess it is a product of Nintendo's huge lack of new games. Last Wii U game I brought was Mario Maker almost a yr ago.

Still no games for Gold points...

The Dream Team Brothers discount isn't completely awful given the starting price is 3DS Select. The Mario Kart 8 one however...
Main issue is not enough chances to use gold points.

For the two Wii U owners that don't already have MK8 this 15 % discount must seem like a joke.

Man. Why.
I bought Mario kart 8 in 2014. I bought the dlc long time ago.

I don't know who will redeem this in 2016

Sorry, but if the discount isn't at least 50% they might as well not bother with them. I'm not a fan of the discounts to begin with. I'd be much more willing to even pay a ridiculous fee, like 1,000 platinum coins for a $5 discount on the eshop if they aren't going to offer free games to trade for. Now sitting on over 5,000 coins and am going to have to start buying Miitomo items I don't want or watch them begin to expire. Disappointing.

The fact that only one reward is for a 3DS game has me hopeful that the direct is going to give a new type of reward or a full game as a reward, which we have had in most months.

EDIT: *two rewards for 3DS. Misread and didn't see the EX behind Nano Assault.

Finally a new gold reward and it's one of the few DLC I already own ;w;

Already own almost everything. Nothing to use any points on.
Wii U Premium were superior to this.

My nintendo is just pure cr@p, bring back club nintendo or at least offer same physical items like playing cards.

Well this is disappointing.

I get the feeling that Nintendo died with Iwata. They lost their edge because they lost a man who was a gamer. We know nothing about the NX; they keep giving rewards of rewards most Nintendo fans already own so their reward system is mostly redundant, and far worse than Club Nintendo, not an improvement; they stopped making games for Wii U, making the worst drought in gaming history I've ever seen; Amiibo are nothing more than an expensive glorified collectible at best, lame card hunt/scalper haven at worst; third party support doesn't exist and hope for its return with NX barely sounds likely from most companies who make decent games these days; their consoles "aren't competing" with Sony/Microsoft even though they clearly are, and failing; they don't even support some of their own franchises anymore and haven't for years; they delayed Zelda.

I really hope the NX is a sticking omega ace in the hole because if this thing doesn't blow me away I'm going Song from now on. Sorry Nintendo my fanboy days are done. You gone and left me in the dark for too long with not much of a glimmer of hope for your future. 3DS may be the last glimmer of Nintendo hope although I'm not banking on much from the Direct today except for the same old story we already know; more of games we've seen and/or maybe the surprise update of Animal Crossing I really doubt there's going to be a big show this morning.

They probably know that most people who bought MK8 also own the dlc packs. Nothing for me here and that SUCKS.

You're making Club Nintendo look really good here, Nintendo.

@Loui
Me too. Over 50 3ds/2ds retail games on my shelf and nothing for me, as for Nintendo fan, well ...
My platinum points begin to expire, and I only bought 2 themes.
Where are disscounts for digital-only titles? Earthbound or something?
But... for newcomers and digital-customers is still solid program.

@Zach777 the rewards system was in development long before Iwata passed. Plus I don't think selecting rewards was exactly his department. The software drought on Wii U is due to the fact the console is approaching the end of its life. This happpens in the video game world. Iwata was in charge throughout the development and release of amiibo. Nintendo had poor third party support way before Iwata died.

It is way too soon to determine just how Nintendo has changed since Iwata's death. Nice job exploiting his death to add weight to your points though. Very classy.

@Zach777 I get the feeling that Nintendo died with Iwata. They lost their edge because they lost a man who was a gamer
Considering Yamauchi was one of the most abrasive businessmen I know, I'd say your fears are unfounded.

It's a really good idea this MyNintendo but the lack of options is frustrating wish you could just bank the coins and spend it on whatever on the Eshop.

@MarcelRguez

Then tell me.... How is he polishing Nintendo? What good has come out of his new role as leader for Nintendo? Has anything turned out for the better? Because... I haven't seen it, and it sounds like I'm not alone.

@Zach777 Well, I doubt he can do much from the grave.
My point was, there is no correlation between having a CEO with a development background and doing well as a company. Yamauchi was 100% business and Nintendo did pretty well under his leadership.

Other than that, why do you expect huge changes when Kimishima hasn't been on the driver's seat for that long? I wouldn't know if he has had enough time to make meaningful decisions, unless the restructuring of the company was 100% his idea. Besides, we still don't know if he will hold his position in the future.

Has the Wii U bundle in the EU included MK8 AND the DLC like it has in the US for the past year? If so, then this isn't really even a discount on DLC anymore for a lot of prople, it's part of the game they got with their system.

If the EU doesn't have the same Wii U bundle, nevermind.

Nothing for me here!

@MarcelRguez

I'm sorry I confused Yamauchi with Kimishima when I originally replied to you.

I'm not certain what Kimishima will do; I don't expect much from him since there's a pretty tight lid on Nintendo happenings and even after the lid comes off it still seems like a letdown. Right now the only highlight in the horizon is Zelda. Other than that, I don't know.

Why you keep on calling some discounts to be rewards? Its manipulating the whole logic of it ... apart from that, these "rewards" cant be seriously meant for loyal Nintendo Fans... seriously, whos in charge at Nintendo running this ponzi scheme.. sorry, loyal system?

In NA I have all the games that are discounted like
15% off Doctor Mario Miracle Cure 140 platinum coins
15% off Paper Mario Sticker Star 600 platinum coins
15% off Fluidcity Spin Cycle 170 platinum coins
15% off Pushmo World 150 platinum coins
15% off Yoshi's Story 150 platinum coins
30% off Star Fox 64 3D 100 gold coins
30% off F Zero Maximum Velocity 20 gold coins
30% off Mario Golf World Tour 80 gold coins
30% off Fire Emblem 20 gold coins

"discount" instead of free dowload and all on games most ppl already own, such a shame, this feel more like a scam than a "rewards" program... -_-

i now have very little hope for the upcoming changes for NOA...

@Zach777 I noticed, no worries.

Just try to be patient. They have been making lots of changes to prepare for the launch of the NX, both internally and toward the consumer. We will see if the wait paid off soon enough.

I've already bought everything I care about on this list.

@Lizuka It's not even half a year old. Get back to me after the NX is released, then we'll talk.

After seeing the Mario Galaxy reward I might try and finish the game again with luigi until the so called NX

@Pahvi

Truth be told I didnt know that, it was basically an assumption, sorry. Maybe because I like MK8 so much that the dlc packs were a no brainer for me.

@Lizuka

That picross zelda game was quite. But I agree my nintendo has been a joke so far,

@123akis i bought it for £29.99 at launch.

@gardevoir7 wrong ours is better

I know its sucks but its nice to see ours is better then Europe for once

@Loui Right?! I remember with Club Nintendo I never had enough to get what I wanted. Now I have thousands of MyNintendo points and I don't want to use them on anything. This new rewards system is garbage.

I am going to waste all my Nintendo silver coins - there is nothing to buy for Wii U, while there are more to buy for 3DS. Unfortunately, I ONLY HAVE A WII U.

That's just not good enough...

Nothing for me here. MyNintendo is a good idea on paper but it hasn't been used properly yet. It feels like it is still in beta. I want to see more free games and get the merchandise back from Club Nintendo.

@Pahvi
Dont worry. We are talking about some petty games and in this regard a poorly thought out marketing approach which has very little to offer for the most die hard fans.
Be it as it may, both my nintendo and this new nintendo direct had nothings amazing to report.u

It's always games already owned that seem to receive these paltry discounts. I fail to see why Nintendo can't offer some more full games when a lot of us have plenty of points hanging around our accounts.

Also is there going to be no more My Nintendo games offered through this service?
