The My Nintendo programme may not be blowing the doors off quite yet, but it has been improving a little in recent months. One example has been the opportunity to redeem Gold Points for some full downloads, a way to turn purchases on the eShop into free games.
The latest European update to the loyalty programme adds four more games to this list, two each for the Wii U and 3DS; details are below.
3DS:
- Toki Tori 3D - 20 Gold Points
- Nano Assault EX - 80 Gold Points
Wii U:
- XType Plus - 30 Gold Points
- Tengami - 70 Gold Points
Are you tempted to grab any of these, or are you holding out for the Nintendo Switch Rewards that are still 'coming soon'?

I believe this is the time to join forces against My Nitnendo, guys.
Holding strong for Switch rewards, even if they're just themes. Got 200 odd gold coins expiring at the end of the year so will be keeping a close eye on developments.....
Cool, some 5 year-old rewards everybody already have !
While I’m not interested in any of these games, this is the way to use a reward system.
I already have these games... and they're both cheap as chips on the eShop. Everyone who's been around for a while already has these... lol. (at least on 3DS)
This is more like it. I don't have either of the Wii U games and if I was still using the console I'd purchase both of them and feel content. Now if they add 2 or 3 more indie games each month and let the collection grow and also add Switch indies into the mix then I don't think anyone would have anything to complain about. (they'll still find a way of course)
Discounts are crap, free games are good.
At least they aren’t lame discounts, but full free games. Now we just need some for Switch.
Nintendo needs to stop playing around and get the rewards system where we all know it needs to be. I do think, however, this isn't happening until the online launches.
At least Europe actually gets games and not just discounts like North America. Our "rewards" require us to spend more money. Nice incentive program, Nintendo...
Might as well!!
Nothing else to spend them on!
I don't think I have Tengami, so that might be something.
Three games I haven't got and want so not too bad for me.
My coins are all expiring before anything much comes to the US.
Still fairly lame.
Got them all. 3DS codes made good Birthday presents! Don't own the Wii U games myself.
Tengami finally something I don't own that I've been meaning to pick up. I hope it doesn't take another year and a bit for another title I want to show up.
WAIT FULL GAM-European only are you fracking kidding me
Finally. Something to spend the gold points on.
Even if I know I won't play none of them. Better to get these than your points expiring
Two games I haven't got, thanks Nintendo! Its becoming a nice rewards scheme, must have had two dozen 3DS themes so far too.
Don't actually have any of these, might pick one up, maybe two if I have the coins actually as there probably isn't gonna be much else to spend them on for a while... any recommendations on which one to get though?
I hate the North American My Nintendo. Everything is just a discount, or an occasionally slightly cool 3DS theme, so there isn't really much incentive, especially considering the themes are 20 gold points, but $1.99 on the theme shop. They need to start giving us legitimate games (Like they did the first few months) before people start to not care.
Like others that have already commented I wish the NA site would offer stuff like this
@Scrummer Don't be too jealous of our MyNintendo, it's just as bad as your own. I think these are the first free games since Metroid Fusion and Mario 64, which were available in its first month or 2.
I hope these come to NA...I’d love to redeem some coins on Nano Assault DX.
Metroid II on the Gameboy should be offered for free with some coins. Not a discount, but free!!! That would’ve been a great way to advertise the reboot.
Still bleeding coins here, Switch stuff better come out before their online sub launches in 2018. But i find that doubtful.
I might pick up Tengami for free. It sounds fun and I'm curious about the aesthetic so why not...
Result, 2 Wii u games I don't have already 😁
I've only picked up the two WiiU games because I have coins expiring soon. I doubt that I'll play them much though.
My Nintendo is a disgrace to Nintendo’s fanbase. I can’t believe this is what replaced Club Nintendo.
**** this service, it's TERRIBLE.
They seem to be games that don't sell well, although I got three of them in sales a while back.
Nintendo really aren't showing much support for their loyal customers are they?
At least they're offering free games somewhere...
until Nintendo of America adds games for gold coins I will take a knee when i start up my Switch or New 3ds.
I will nod my head towards the spot where my Wii U is unplugged and unloved
For the small handful of you who don't have Tengami...get it!
hoping to see some full game downloads in NA next month.
I haven't played my Wii U since I got my Switch, and have hardly touched my 3DS besides streetpass when I go out.
I want Switch Rewards! I mean hell, they have a button on the Switch to redeem the coins!
@Heavyarms55 Yeah, my Wii U is my newest dust collector, along with my PS3 and Xbox360...
Why does everyone think that 'everyone has these games already?' Nobody buys every single game that comes out unless they're rich, so stop saying it like it's a fact.
I don't have any of them, and I'd certainly buy Nano if they were available in NA.
Boooo
@PhantomSwitch lol my PS4 is collecting dust too.
@Heavyarms55 lol kinda sad tho because the Wii U had some nice exclusives...
@Heavyarms55 and Sony says the Switch isn't really a competitior, yet most who I've talked to that own a Switch and a PlayStation console say that the PlayStation is collecting dust.
@OorWullie Ok, good to know. The only free games we have gotten were, in the first few months, we had WarioWare: Touched!, Metroid II, Donkey Kong 3, and some Twilight Princess Picross.
Tengami is super boring and very short. Just saying.
@PhantomSwitch The Switch installed base is less than 10% that of the PS4. Among those, the ones who also have a PS4 are probably a minority, because the early adopters are usually fans, that is, Wii U or 3DS owners. So no, not a threat. Competition, yet, but not a thread. Also, Nintendo are the ones who like to say they're not competing in the same market when they obviously are.
@PhantomSwitch Oh I agree. I loved Mario Maker and Xenoblade X. Pikmin 3 was cool too, even if I wasn't big on the control scheme.
@Heavyarms55 Exactly
@victimOfNirvana Well 10% is pretty good considering this thing has been out for like 6 months now
@PhantomSwitch It's pretty good, indeed. Doesn't mean it's a threat to PS4 just yet.
@victimOfNirvana fair enough
@Scrummer @millarrp @w00dm4n @Fooligan @ThomasBW84 To everybody asking for free games in NA, the site was updated with 4 games available for gold coins. Finally something to spend gold coins on. I might check out Little Acorns.
I highly recommend Runner 2 to anyone who doesn't have it.
@tedko sweet! thank you for the update.
i'll go check it out
@tedko I saw that earlier today. It is a great game. I have Runner 2 already though so I can’t take advantage of that deal. I did grab Art of Balance though.
@tedko I'll be saving up my gold coins for runner 2. I have about 45 now. Only 45 to go!
