the point of Club Nintendo was that when you buy new games you get points to spend on cool stuff. in my case, i used points from new games to buy more new games. the problem with My Nintendo is that Nintendo has no games anymore. I havent bought a single Nintendo game since Holiday Season of last year, and I am a dedicated Nintendo fan.
looking at it just now, i actually did earn 30 Gold Points buying Lego City for the 3DS. with that i could get Fire Emblem or F-Zero: MV. both of which i already have. other than that i could buy Miitomo stuff, which nobody cares about anymore, or discounts, which seem pretty backhanded. If im spending money to get these points i might as well just buy the game youre offering a discount for. if it was the full game it would have my support buy 15% off is a no go.
now that i took a few minutes to take it all in, i realize this service is completely pointless. You can get in-game items for a game nobody cares about, discounts on games that you have to be reminded even exist, and 3DS themes.
cant say im surprised though. Nintendo has bombed in all areas of player interaction this year. nobody uses Miiverse anymore, Club Nintendo is gone and My Nintendo is shit, and we have no games.
