My Nintendo reward scheme free game downloads and discounts revealed

Miitomo detailed in new trailer, Zelda Picross confirmed.

Nintendo has also revealed the first set of rewards available via its new customer loyalty programme, My Nintendo.

Free game downloads and discounts can be acquired in exchange for Points - which you'll earn for buying games, setting up your Nintendo Account and playing Miitomo, the company's first smartphone app.

Purchasing games will net you Gold Points. Everything else - interacting with your Nintendo Account, regularly logging in and play Miitomo - will net you Platinum Points.

Here's how you'll earn them:

And here's what you'll spend them on, at least in Japan (thanks, Siliconera).
