It's Super Mario Run day for Nintendo, and while we're awaiting an embargo to tell you what we think of it and to go into detail, the big N has at least given a glimpse of the role the iOS game will play on My Nintendo.
A short video for the loyalty programme has been posted by Nintendo of Europe; it shows that - like Miitomo - Super Mario Run will contribute in terms of in-app rewards and as an opportunity to earn Platinum Points.
Will you be running and jumping with Mario to get some extra Platinum Points?

Still didn't came out in US yet
....No one cares about My Nintendo anymore NL.
Does it really matter when there are no good rewards?
No! No! No! Besides, I've an Android phone.
@Joeynator3000 Eh, I do use it for Miitomo stuff and buying other exclusive stuff like the Zelda 30th theme and its orchestral videos.
I wonder if Spotpass will eventually be merged with My Nintendo. I would like to get Spotpasses via my phone instead of 3DS.
They'd be stupid not to. These are the target people to go after these rewards, definitely not established Nintendo fans!
My Nintendo is a joke of a promotional system.
Not. Worth.
There's no difference in having it, over it not existing at all. It is pointless thanks in part to expiring coins that expire at the same time that the rewards finally switch(it should be a week or two change up). As well as thanks to the fact the rewards just plain Jane suck.
Useless.
There appears to be a lot of new rewards on My Nintendo, especially for Super Mario Run. They seem cool. They are as follows:
Toad
1000 Coins
2000 Coins
3000 Coins
5 Toad Rally Tickets
10 Toad Rally Tickets
White Flower Patch
Block E
Gold Mario Statue

@Joeynator3000 I do. I get stuff from My Nintendo all the time
What if I want to redeem the reward for two phones, am I SOL?
It's weird, the inclusion of prizes like bundles of coins and Toad Rally Tickets look like micro-transactions, but this game wasn't supposed to have those, right?
@hieveryone Yeah man, I woke up at 6:30am CST today and it wasn't available, and still to this minute I cannot download it. What is going on???
I just looked at the "rewards" for 3ds and 600 platinum coins for a 15% discount on Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is just beyond silly.
How about using Platinum coins to unlock the full game
@spawn1210 I live in EST time zone and it's 12:08pm now and it's still not available for download
@RupeeClock The game has no purchases besides the full-game one, but these are kind of odd.
From gameplay I've seen, it seems that Coins and Toad Tickets are pretty easy to get, so I guess this is just supplemental.
We need more lemon hat rewards. Different colours
@buildz
Hey, cool. Thanks for piercing through the thick snark around here with something worthwhile!
You can get Toad as a character for Super Mario Run for an amazing 0 Coins. Seems Nintendo's doing the "introduction to the shop" like they did with Swapdoodle.
@Manjushri
It is bad for sure. I regularly took advantage of Club Nintendo and I struggle to find benefits with this. I will say that there is still potential for it once Nintendo stops pulling the purse strings so tight. It could get better if there is a strong Switch launch and one has to admit that an improved infrastructure is there... we just need all sorts of better numbers and choices.
A shame Nintendo isn't using the program to its full potential.
It's good news for ol' Ersatz. It enables me to sign more people up for my gaming Ponzi Scheme.

In-game rewards is what My Nintendo seems to be geared towards but there were just no games to benefit from it (miitomo is a place to generate coins not spend them). So, with more of the games releasing it could be fun to feed them into rewards of the other.
I never thought I'd have to say it, but, I really miss Club Nintendo. I actually felt REWARDED for buying games. That and the Deluxe Digital promo blow My Nintendo away pretty universally. I got FREE games including: Star Fox 64 3D, DKCR: 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Mario Golf, Super Mario RPG, Link's Awakening, Kirby's Adventure 3D, A Link to the Past, and Super Mario 3.
Now, I can exchange points I got for spending real money on digital games for...... a 30% off coupon..... for Star Fox 64 3D.... which I already got free from Club Nintendo. Yeesh. What a shame. They could SO EASILY give out free games (they did it with a Wario Ware game at the start, no?) which would be especially nice as a thanks to the Wii U owners languishing out there, and their lack of doing so (especially for Gold Points, where they already got our money) is such a disappointment.
@RupeeClock It's rapidly looking like Nintendo wants My Nintendo to serve as a microtransaction hub for their mobile titles. Which, I suppose is fine enough. I just hoped/expected it would be intended to draw folks to their traditional gaming platforms and titles, as I recall them saying in the past.
The game is still not out in japan.
My Nintendo rewards... Meh.
Steve Taylor narrating the video... Love! His voice is perfect in the Kurzgesagt videos.
"Will you be running and jumping with Mario to get some extra Platinum Points?"
No, because it's a Mario game.
@hieveryone WTF right? And typical Nintendo, doesn't say anything.... The 15th , means the 15th at 12:01am worldwide....
@leo13 "I do. I get stuff from My Nintendo all the time"
Like what? Headaches?
Super Mario Run out in Norway now and hopefully elsewhere too ^^.
Edit: Seems like I can't login with my NNiD at the moment, maybe I have to wait until Apple Store updates itself first.
@Barncak discount on Xenoblade Chronicles, Discount on Skyward Sword, 6 different 3DS themes, my first picross game (twilight princess). My kids had been begging me for 3DS themes but I wasn't willing to pay for them. I am however happy to get them for free. I know it's not what a lot of people wanted, but If my options are this or nothing I'll happily take this
@SLIGEACH_EIRE why would it give me headaches? That doesn't make any sense. You log on a couple times a month and get something for free or you get a discount on a game
☺
More platinum points? Keep them coming on!!!!!!!!!
None of this matters since only apple users can play Mario run
@Furealz
Unfortunately, you are SOL.
Wow, most of this site's users can't have a little patience for the the game to come to Google Play, which is a vastly inferior store to publish games on. Especially for new developers to the platform, such as Nintendo.
This game is ruined for me because it's online-only, but talk about ungratefulness that this game even exists for the mobile device.
Everyone(most) here is effin entitled. Like, holy s**t man.
IT CAME OUT ON APP STORE I DOWNLOADED IT
@Barncak there's the difference. You're more hardcore than I am. I've earned about 250 good coins compared to your 700. If you've earned that much then I'm going to guess that you already have all the games they're offering discounts for
Good to see missions just for Mario Run. I wonder how long us Android users will have to wait for an APK to show up.
I got a message from Nintendo on my 3DS that said I should discover the world of Mario and buy some games on the Nintendo eShop. Maybe that's related to this.
