My Nintendo (Japanese: マイニンテンドー? Hepburn: Mai Nintendō) is a loyalty program provided by Nintendo and the successor to Club Nintendo. The system rewards allows players to earn points from using software or purchasing games, which can then be spent on rewards such as digital games or discounts. The program launched on March 17, 2016, in Japan and on March 31, 2016, in the rest of the world, launching alongside Nintendo's first mobile app, Miitomo.
"My Nintendo" was also the name of a registration program provided by Nintendo of America that launched in 2002. It allowed users to register their games and consoles on Nintendo's website using a printed code included with the products, with no direct physical rewards or benefits for doing so. This service was replaced by a North American version of Club Nintendo in December 2008.
Users can create or sign into My Nintendo with a Nintendo Account via Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or a Nintendo Network ID. By clearing various "missions", players earn three different kinds of currency; Gold Points, Platinum Points, and app-centric Platinum Points, which can be exchanged for rewards, including digital game downloads for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, discounts on software purchased from the Nintendo eShop or the official Nintendo online store, and downloadable themes for the Nintendo 3DS. Gold Points are earned by purchasing software digitally via the Nintendo eShop while Platinum Points are earned by performing actions such as linking with social media or signing into the Nintendo eShop or Miiverse weekly. App-centric Platinum Points are earned by clearing missions within Nintendo's mobile apps, such as Miitomo and Super Mario Run, and can either be used to purchase rewards within the app or combined with regular Platinum Points to be spent on the main rewards.
