Nintendo isn’t letting the Club Nintendo concept completely die.
While there has been no information released on the game’s local version in the USA, Nintendo Europe explains that only the European region will be receiving the game for this period.
Nintendo has announced (via Game Informer) the service that will serve as the replacement to Club Nintendo, which is titled My Nintendo. Or Nintendo could stick with its game-by-game approach and just unlock lumps of points when reaching certain sections of the game.
According to a recent report from MUI PR, Nintendo is already sending software development kits to an unknown third-party game developers for the upcoming game console from the Japanese gaming giant. Nintendo has a similar content roll-out planned. I would not be surprised, nor would I be offended, if DLC was added to this new Nintendo smartphone game. It appears as if Nintendo wants to unveil all of their big services and surprises in one fell swoop.
Nintendo will also use a cloud-based service to allow players to transfer their game data for use between mobile and console platforms. The Miimoto, the new Nintendo Account and the My Nintendo rewards program will all launch in March, 2016. Miimoto will allow gamers to change and modify their Mii with a variety of clothing items and accessories and then interact with other mobile gamers.
