The updated My Nintendo Shop has restocked rewards and exclusive online products
, physical My Nintendo rewards are back in town.
If you’ve been , the time is at hand, and there’s also a nifty Nintendo Switch game card holder up for grabs — it’s 600 Platinum Points and , with two covers included. Long-time Nintendo fans who remember the Club Nintendo days will surely recall the ol’ 3DS game case. It’s along those same lines.
Compared to many of you, I’m the odd man out, but I could fit my physical collection in this game holder; the Nintendo Switch arrived just as I began going (mostly) digital-only.
Other physical rewards right now include a (400 Platinum Points), (500 Platinum Points), and a (1,000 Platinum Points). Heyyyy big spender! I’m all tapped out.

You might not see anything you’re drawn to just yet, but I figured the new online shop was worth a mention — it’ll naturally get new items as new games come out. As for shipping, it’s free (with some restrictions) if you end up spending $50 or more at the shop.
I also can’t neglect to mention that this is the same week Nintendo announced its plan to wind down the Wii U and 3DS eShop — a cost-cutting decision that probably won’t be swayed at this point. If you poke around the browser-based eShop, you’ll notice that it’s more Nintendo Switch-centric than before. The “legacy” platform listings can currently still be found (or just search for specific game names).
Well, here we go again. Time keeps on slipping for us retro gamers.
