Nintendo then promised fans that more improvements for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion pack would arrive in time. Now it seems as though Nintendo is delivering on this promise, as the company is now offering users the chance to earn My Nintendo Platinum Points, which allows subscribers to redeem exclusive items. These points can be earned by actions such as playing online or playing the classic games that Nintendo Switch Online offers. The points will then be redeemable for physical items from the Nintendo Online Store or digital items like profile avatars and backgrounds.
These points will even be available to those who don't have the expansion pack, however, more points will likely be able to be earned if one does have the expansion owing to its greater library of games.
Points for physical things like MS Rewards offers is always good. I'm guessing the virtual items are pretty easy to get compared to the physical things?
So getting Platinum Points is still pretty easy for smartphone users so playing online and making them even more available for Switch online players just feels like a way to promote their brand and really you still have to pay for shipping so it really isn't like Club Nintendo's free legacy games on 3DS but at least it's good for getting merch for anyone without as many points. But for the most part, you are still having to pay something to get this in return. I wish there was an eShop option too.
Gamers who don't use mobile for gaming that is. Anyways I like the Avatar inclusion because the Switch friends avatars are pretty barren of multiple themes like Kid Icarus. Maybe get some 3rd party avatars too. They are like forum avatars, not like Xbox but there are Mii options too.
