yeah, it does feel like they went with this system instead to make it less obvious and hoping it would make them more money ? who knows if it helped ? on one hand, many people have not used their gold points, on the other hand, without an obvious reward system, people now have the idea that nintendo is greedy and games are expensive which have lead to people getting less games on the nintendo. i personally believe nintendo have missed out on a lot of customers and just sales in general by not having an easy to understand and rewarding system.

I didn't know that the points were not common knowledge. I've done all of the little missions to get the silver points. I think the thing that annoys me the most though is that the silver and gold points have expiration dates and they are always short so you need to use them before they expire so they aren't as nice/useful as they could be

For those who don't know there's also daily and maybe weekly missions you can complete on the switch that the Nintendo switch online app (I think) has to earn platinum points. They have different missions for each game you own if I remember correctly so the more games you have the more opportunity you have to gain points.

@@Simurated honestly for an online service it's really not that expensive compared to PlayStation and Xbox that are literally the same price for 1-2 months that Nintendo charged for a year of online service. Plus it's possible to get it free essentially after buying enough games thanks to the gold coins that are automatically obtained from online purchases and can be claimed manually from physical purchases... There's also the rewards that can be earned from the silver coins I already mentioned in the original comment, but I'm not even sure Nintendo online subscription is even required to earn them.

@@jierenzheng7670Yup. 1 year in most of the world, 2 years in the EU. I.e. if you brought a new physical copy of Pokémon Shield you wouldn’t be able to redeem the points because the game was released four years ago. If you brought a physical copy for pokémon Scarlet you would be able to redeem gold points until 18th Nov 2023, or 18th Nov 2024 if you’re in the EU Note: only applicable for new copies, if you buy second hand you’ll only be able to redeem gold points if the previous person who owned it didn’t redeem them as it’s tied to the cartridge, not the console. note 2: Only works for cartridges. If you had a digital download that came in a case you can’t redeem that.

The time limit is the biggest inconvenience when it comes to getting the coins, especially for physical collectors Good video overall.

I actually knew about this because when I first got my switch "about a year ago" my friend who had a switch since launch day told me about it, the catch is if you buy an old copy of the game, even if it's brand new the gold coins have already expired which has happened to me a couple of times when I bought them from Amazon. I honestly don't understand why they expire after a year, seems like a cheap way to make sure people can't get the points fairly even if the points were never redeemed. Also another thing I hate is how the silver points expire, I'm not sure about the gold but I lost 800 points in a single day because there was just nothing I could use them on, and then when there is, I have to pay for shipping which is actually way more expensive then it should be.

Sort of curious... This is literally impossible to not see unless you never look in the Home menu, or never go into the eShop. I'm pretty sure Nintendo even sends email reminders about the points and making sure you earn and redeem....

Wood, another thing that you seemed to have missed as well that saves you money since you buy alot of digital titles is to change your zipcode to one in a state that doesnt charge sales tax like a city in oregon for example then you wont be charged for sales tax on your digital titles. You could have saved maybe hundreds of dollars

omg this brings back memories. Before My Nintendo they had Club Nintendo where they used to include a piece of paper in a number of their games with a code to redeem for points and I think eventually you could also get points with digital purchases. My favorite thing I got from Club Nintendo were the Zelda posters for Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, and a poster of the different links from 1987 to 2007
