We will start a new point program as well, which not only involves Nintendo’s dedicated game systems but also smart devices.
With the Club Nintendo membership service that was ended on September 30, 2015, you earned points when you purchased software. With this new point program, you can earn points by playing games as well.
Whether you have played the software for dedicated game systems or our applications for smart devices, you can earn points that can then be used on our dedicated game systems or on smart devices.
Naturally, you can also earn points by purchasing software.
With the new points, you can obtain digital add-on content, which will make the game you are playing even more fun, original merchandise or a coupon, which can be used as a discount for new software.

This is also a plan for the future, but we are going to provide our membership service benefits in other real-life facilities such as theme parks, movie theaters and retail outlets.

The name of our new membership service is “My Nintendo.”
My Nintendo will work as a bridge between dedicated game systems and smart devices.

Both My Nintendo and Miitomo will be available in March 2016.

Miitomo releases in March alongside My Nintendo, which is the new member service to replace Club Nintendo.

Cheesemeister's translations:

New point program for purchasing/playing console/mobile games can be used on DLC, original goods, and game coupons.

The new Nintendo membership service is called My Nintendo, which will bridge across consoles and mobile.

Free-to-start communication app Miitomo will use My Nintendo. Users' Mii characters will find things in common.

By Kyle McLain:

You'll be able to use your MyNintendo Account in conjunction with the theme park, as well as theaters and stores.

That's a little later than I expected, but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Fat4all · Oct 29, 2015

My Nintendo can't possible be this cute.

EDIT: Hmm, I wonder if they plan to continue a reward system.

You can get discounts and digital/physical rewards

ElTorro · Oct 29, 2015

So, one of the big differences is that it will go beyond video games and include stuff like stores and theme parks?

TheGreatMightyPoo · Oct 29, 2015

Better name.

RedToad64 · Oct 29, 2015

MyNintendo was the name of the pre-Club Nintendo rewards program in NA.

brandonh83 · Oct 29, 2015

Great name IMO

Hero of Legend · Oct 29, 2015

Cheese is translating the individual slides it seems, I'll add them to the OP.

boiled goose · Oct 29, 2015

Direct integration with new account system confirmed?

SatoAilDarko · Oct 29, 2015

Hmmm...

Guess I should wait to buy those exclusive Indie games (Runbow, Swords & Soldiers II, Affordable Space Adventures) from the Eshop until then. I want to buy them at full price so a sale doesn't matter.

Nesther · Oct 29, 2015

Fresh start or NNID migration? We need this answered.

I'm liking the idea of earning goodies just for buying and playing Nintendo games. Looking forward to more details on this.

More than likely fresh start, considering the dumb shit I've been told about CN's server issues.

Like if it doesn't merge what I've bought on my NNID they can fuck off. It was unacceptable between Wii/Wii U and this would be even worse.

Malus · Oct 29, 2015

So I'll play Xenoblade X for 1000 hours and get NX for free.

Yeah, the old ass nintendo forums and registration stuff was under the old "my nintendo". They rolled that system into Club Nintendo when it launched. I made my original account in like 2003.

AcademicSaucer · Oct 29, 2015

Smart for them to not release the new account system in december and crash their services.

According to all of Cheesemeister's translations, yep! At some point they going to expand it to those areas and are going for ease of creation and use with NNID, Facebook, Twitter etc.

It's your friendlist, your Club Nintendo, your sync-save date, it will reward you for purchasing and playing games whether on mobile or console with points for goods, digital games/DLC and coupons.

Yeah, they can shove the NX up their asses if that happens.

Dominator · Oct 29, 2015

These simplified names lol

Glad they finally got something else going, can't wait to rack up some coins (or whatever it's going to be).

Jotamide · Oct 29, 2015

Please give us real ownership of our games.

WOW, I remember doing this as a kid/teen. That's how I got the pink stylus, from Kirby Canvas Curse & that feather pen stylus for Phantom Hourglass......plus I think that Zelda Collector's Edition?

The fact you can earn points from playing the games & it seems to have part of the Digital Deluxe Promotion now makes me hopeful this will be a worthy successor, but man, I just hope that we don't get behind EU & Japan.

I do wonder how the discounts will work. I recall EU had it so you could just get flat-out Wii Points/currency for the systems, maybe it's just that instead of "here's a 10% off code you can use"?

Yes, starting with NX, that is going to be called Nintendo Account.

I know its early but those rewards for buying games wont be for digital only right?

iBlue said:

According to Vooks, press release states it manages friends on all devices, so it's likely part of this new system. You'll be signing in with your NNID is my guess so it will have all your information. They are giving options to sign in and create an account with other services as well.

As in "digital games as rewards" or "only buying digital games counts towards points for rewards"? Club Nintendo had it so you got codes for retail games which you could redeem.

Most likely, if we do get games as rewards again, they'll be digital only unless it's something special like Game & Watch Collection.

Yeah I meant the second part. I really hope they throw a random physical game in there, they're starting to sell refurbs would be a great way to get rid of some old stock.

We don't know. They haven't detailed it.

Yeah, it's hard to say. Even in EU & Japan, when a game was available, it was only digital, unless it was a very special reason (i.e. Japan got Excitebots ONLY through Club Nintendo, so that was physical).

I'm not getting my hopes up for retail copies of certain games (I sure would've preferred a retail copy of Tropical Freeze considering it's a whopping 10GB that takes up a bunch of space) unless they're special cases.

I guess the only other thing to hope for is that the "coupons" or discounts can count towards retail copies of games. Like "$10 off Super Mario 3D World" or something.
