‘Less for our loyal customers’: Nintendo’s latest show of greed gives you 12 months to use this feature before it’s gone for good

Nintendo is at it again—removing another feature that actually benefitted players, with no clear replacement in sight (RIP Club Nintendo). The latest victim? A system that made digital purchases just that little bit easier on the wallet.

Nintendo has announced that from March 24, 2025, players will no longer be able to earn My Nintendo Gold Points, a feature that has quietly helped thousands of us shave a few pounds or dollars off our eShop purchases. While Platinum Points remain untouched, Gold Points—the ones that actually translate into real discounts—are being phased out.
