Oh damn i forgot about that when i sold my Wii U. I have 50 gold points and they expire in December so ill probably never use them. Well if anyone wants a gamecode for the games that are 50 gold points or less just pm me and ill get you the code.

Even when a game is bought at discount, the original price is what nets you the gold coins.
The 10 coins you got were based on the 9.99 price.

Interesting. So the reward system has basically a bug that Nintendo isn't aware of?

In that case I might buy The Swapper the next time it's available for €1-3, because even if it sucks, I'll get gold coins that are worth as much as the price I paid.

Lol, I'm pretty sure it's not a bug.

And precisely, I was trying to remember which games I bought last month and one of them was the Swapper $1. The other was Pumped BMX+ which I recommend (with discount)

The Swapper for €1 was a great deal. Should have jumped on it then.

It gives more incentive to buy games at discount prices, yeah, I agree.
And use the My Nintendo rewards to net more coins... rinse and repeat.

Yes! Games with huge discounts. And what do you mean? You get more coins for the games you get as rewards? Because I used some of the coins to get pikmin dlc but that gave me nothing.

The Pikmin DLC's original price is lower than the gold coin threshold.

Yeah, the original price counts. OlliOlli Wii U + 3DS + 20 gold coins for 1€ wasn't a bad deal a few weeks ago, lol.

There are 11 shitty 3DS games published by MSL discounted to 1€ instead of 11,99€ until August 25.
So 220 gold coins for 11€ if you want. Enough for 2 N64 or 3 SNES/GBA games. There are no good VC games at My Nintendo at the moment, but I'm sure there will be new ones soon.
