My Nintendo Gold Points Can Be Used For Digital Games On Switch Next Month

Nintendo has announced its My Nintendo program is expanding to Switch. Starting next month, players who buy qualifying digital and physical games can use earned Gold Points to purchase digital games and DLC on the Switch console.

If you're not up to speed on the My Nintendo program, it's pretty simple. You earn Gold Points worth five-percent of the price you pay when you buy qualifying games on Wii U, 3DS, and – starting early March – the Switch. Those points can then be spent on select digital games and DLC from the eShop or Nintendo.com.

There's no word yet on what Switch games will be available, though further details are bound to be coming soon.
