The My Nintendo Gold Points program, which offers rewards for digital Switch and potential future Switch 2 games, is set to be discontinued soon. This move may increase the cost of these games for fans in the future, and it seems surprising given the positive sentiment towards their upcoming console. It’s uncertain if the company has plans to introduce a new rewards system, but the situation appears grim at this point.
According to Nintendo’s official website, they announced that the popular reward system will cease operation on March 24, 2025. Starting from this date, players won’t earn points from purchasing either physical or digital games. Moreover, any remaining points accumulated by fans before March 24 will expire within a year, rendering them worthless.
It’s unfortunate that Nintendo Gold Points have been taken away, as they allowed fans to earn small reductions on digital game purchases. Accumulating enough points for a substantial discount would necessitate buying numerous games, meaning fans might only see a $5 reduction at best. However, even a $5 discount could sometimes encourage a purchase, so we sympathize with the fans’ disappointment upon hearing the news.
Enthusiasts were thrilled when they learned that the Switch 2 would maintain the same Nintendo accounts as the original Switch. This means players can effortlessly move their digital games over to their updated system, giving a fresh spin to this latest console. However, it was disappointing to find out that both digital and physical games will now cost more, since Nintendo Gold Points are being phased out.
Prior to the introduction of the My Nintendo brand, Nintendo invited fans to enroll in their Club Nintendo program. Through this initiative, enthusiasts could accumulate points that could then be used to purchase games or unique physical items such as notebooks or 3DS game cartridge cases. It will be intriguing to observe whether the My Nintendo platform is eventually replaced with something new.
We have gathered all the available information regarding the discontinuation of My Nintendo Gold Points.
