How does the Face-to-Face friend adding work? My app asked for access to my phone's location info when I went to that screen. If it's using GPS data, maybe it can be spoofed. If it's using network information, maybe a VPN could do the trick. Granted, both of these are outside what I would consider a reasonable amount of effort required to make this stupid app usable.

I don't think it's possible to have enough points for it yet. The most points you can have right now seems to be 945.

e: Also, if you're interested in Touched and TP Picross, you should grab Touched first. It's available until July 1 while TP Picross is available until October 1.

Miitomo won't finish loading. It's stuck at the initial loading screen, bombarding me with Miitomo Tips. No progress made for all I can tell.

Just let it sit; I raced to about 45% and then it started ticking over at 1% every 2 or 3 minutes after that.

Yep. Had to unroot my phone to get it to launch.

I think the "Missions' and Platinum coins are awesome. They seem like they're basically going to be Nintendo's achievement system going forward. Collect all hearts? Platinum coins. Beat 150cc? Platinum coins. Best some Star Fox score? Platinum coins. Instead of handrails you get currency you can actually spend on exclusives, dlc, discounts, etc.

No points from physical games and dlc is poo poo. I'm more than likely going to own everything prior to them offering me a discount on something I'm interested in. I don't want to log in once a week to be efficient on obtaining coins, with Club Nintendo most things I needed to do had at least a 30 day window I think, with the only exception being the buying a game at launch bonus survey/points.

this whole miitomo/my nintendo thing feels like way too boring of an effort to constantly look at or play with, nevermind that getting no points for physical games is laughable. we can take solace that any rewards they'll offer will be poo poo anyway

Just to make sure I'm reading the web page correctly... there's no longer any reward for physical game purchases, right? Just for digital licenses?

Yes. I noticed that there's a place to redeem point codes though on the My Nintendo page so maybe they'll start including them with physical games again in the future.

This is what they say about point codes on the FAQ:

"From time to time, Nintendo will distribute point codes that can be redeemed for My Nintendo points. The points will appear on the points history page of the My Nintendo website when signed in to your Nintendo Account."

Also, reading the FAQ, it's pretty lovely that points expire six months after you collect them.

That sucks. Are the rewards supposed to change each month? I already have pretty much everything featured.

Speaking of point codes, if you were a Club Nintendo member don't delete the marketing email from Nintendo: there's a code for 200 platinum points at the bottom of it.

e: oh, probably because i used my old email back in the day for club nintendo and i've been using a different one for the NNID, nintendo account, et al.

Oh, hey, I think I found another secret mission? got thirty coins from entering the nintendo website while signed in on my Nintendo Account, in my history it says "Completed: Sign in to your Nintendo Account on the official Nintendo website (weekly)" which doesn't show up in the mission list.

I had to figure it out too. In the top left of the screen it says "Menu". Open it and one of the options on the sidebar is "redeem a point code".

And you can't just Copy and Paste the code because Nintendo is dumb.

I got it to trigger by clicking on a link to the online eshop from the marketing email that they sent.
