Why is there a Gold reward for spending $97+ on an eShop game?
Miitomo has launched in Australia and New Zealand, but the world can see My Nintendo now.
The rewards program went live overnight (U.S. Eastern time), and the big exclusive rewards are the previously announced Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Picross and WarioWare Touched. All members can also claim a code for Flipnote Studio 3D at sign-in - in North America, there is no point cost. Europe's rewards are similar to Japan's, while North America substitutes a Captain Toad for the yet-unreleased Metroid: Other M.
Missions are available which include linking social networking accounts to Miitomo and My Nintendo, as well as for accessing the eShop and Miiverse once per week.

UPDATE: Miitomo is now live worldwide.
Really not loving this new reward system.I am guessing this is because you (are on record that) you prefer to buy physical and that is no longer rewarded. I agree this is a shame but I buy mostly digital now. The exception are games I think my kids will want to play independently on their own 3DS systems. I am now having a dilemma about Hyrule Warriors Legends. Buying digital will get me tons o points (and I prefer to have games on my system.) But this is one of those games the kids may also want to play. I guess I should ask them.
It's probably great for some people though.
Doesn't seem like that difficult a decision. Dump the kids off at the pound and then you've got the money for both digital and physical and the time to play the games to boot.Yeah, screw them, little freeloaders!

That's a terrible attitude to have towards children.

“Initially, the focus is going to be on digital,” Trinen says, “but we do have a lot of ideas for what roll out down the road for packaged goods or real world interactions. I think we’ll continue to look at My Nintendo and how we can grow that as a rewards program, so that it really is trying to encompass all the different touch points of how people come into contact with Nintendo products.”
I have all my Nintendo accounts linked, but I can't use my Mii in Miitomo because I didn't allow my Mii to be copied. Okay, Nintendo.
So I go into both Wii U and 3DS to allow my Mii to be copied then go back to Miitomo. I can't use my Mii in Miitomo because I didn't allow my Mii to be copied. Okay, Nintendo.
I try again 20 minutes later. I can't use my Mii in Miitomo because I didn't allow my Mii to be copied. Okay, Nintendo.
I'm going to lie down for a while.
How many platinum points were you supposed to receive for pre-registering Miitomo?

Don't be a boodie head ShyGuy, I'll be your friend!Now following you. Please follow me back @Sensei_K77 because, you know, Miitomo.
If anyone uses twitter find me @wushumatt.
I signed up for twitter years go only to harass Sakurai about Ridley. Guess it'll get put to use now.
I don't have any friends... :(ShyGuy, do you have a twitter?
Not the perfect solution, but go into Mii Maker on one of your systems, get the QR code for your Mii and use that to import it into Miitomo.I tried that. It didn't work. I ended up just recreating my Mii. I'm going to justify this by saying that my Mii needed to be updated anyway. I haven't had long hair in like four years.
* slow website -- the old site was also slow, and would frequently go down with any significant traffic; considering things just started a lot of people are probably accessing the site I suspect it's actually better than beforeThe problems with the old Club Nintendo site were wildly overblown, and the main time that it had stability issues was during the last few months, when Nintendo no longer bothered to maintain the site. Before the announcement of the shutdown, I never had any issues with the site, and it wasn't slow for me. Of course, since the stability problems were during its final months, it's unfortunately become a memory that sticks into people's minds.
* no physical rewards -- the old Club Nintendo had already (essentially) transitioned to this with digital downloadsThey were still offering some physical rewards towards the end of things, such as the sweet 3/DS game card case. Some is better than none.
* some rewards will be offered for only a short period of time -- this happened in the old Club Nintendo with limited physical goods that quickly disappeared, rotating digital offers, and occasional special dealsThat's true, they did cycle through the digital games. I hope they do that same thing with this new site as well, to give people another chance at certain rewards. Still, being the same isn't better, and better is what I was hoping for out of the new MyNintendo.
The problems with the old Club Nintendo site were wildly overblownEuropean Club Nintendo was completely different from NA and that site (or more like a bunch of sites) WAS a complete cluster.
Rewarding people for physical purchases is still something that could happen with the new account system, at least according to Bill Trinen:Looking around the 'Net, it appears this quote is referring to the possibility of physical rewards, not physical game purchases earning points.Quote“Initially, the focus is going to be on digital,” Trinen says, “but we do have a lot of ideas for what roll out down the road for packaged goods or real world interactions.

Nintendo’s New rewards Program Doesn’t Reward Physical Purchases... Yet
I saw that, but it doesn't show the actual question that was asked of Bill. Is there a raw, unedited version of this interview anywhere so we can see what was actually asked?
