Nintendo has added a few new rewards and challenges to My Nintendo in North America.

The new rewards are the My Nintendo Samus theme (200 platinum coins) and discounts on the following titles: Super Metroid (New 3DS, 20 gold coins, 30% off), Metroid: Zero Mission (Wii U, 20 gold, 30% off) and Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii U download, 400 platinum, 20% off).

Following a functionality update to Miitomo, some new challenges are available in the app that can be completed daily for coins, including sending private messages and using the Style Central and Answer Central options.

What really gets me about My Nintendo is that the discounts aren't even very good.
I mean... these are digital goods that will get locked to the physical console you download it to, and people are supposed to consider a 20% sale price as a special reward?

My thought process just now; "Nintendo is discounting games in my favorite series ever?!?!?! Awesome!!!! Except it's my favorite series ever... so I own them all already..."

I mean, I do kind of want Zero Mission on the Wii U... Not like these coins have any better destination anyway, plus they expire. Agree that the reward scheme isn't super appealing, but I mean, they don't really have to offer one in the first place. Zero Mission is great, gonna go for it.
