@@E_Fig05 It is a quiet, windy, winter day at 5pm in Canada. You had just come back from eating an early dinner. You find a small, but quiet log cabin with smoke coming out of the chimney. You enter as the door is propped open. The second you step in, all of your worries fade away, and you spot a man in plaid pants and a gray sweater smoking a pipe. His legs are crossed and he is holding a book. "Hello?" you say as you see him. "Hey all, I didn't see you there!" he responded. He stands up and pulls open the oven. Christmas Sugar cookies with Christmas tree and Gingerbread man designs. He holds out the tray. You take one, the warmth of it making you calm, like a cup of hot chocolate on mildly cold day. Next thing you know, you have eaten half the tray. You are now parched. He can tell, and gets you a room-temperature cup of tap water in a glass as clear as a diamond.
Bro I can’t believe you commented this, I was LITERALLY typing out this same thing before saying “you know what I should check the top comments” 😂 he does look that way tho!!!
wasnt club nintendo the same thing with paper stuff and posters and an occasional cool thing and everyone going “omg club nintendo was so good!1!1!1!11!1!!1”
scott does kind of give you the vibe of "substitute math teacher who just got out of college and landed their first temp job who you'd think would be really lame but is actually super cool only to dissapear after 3 days"
I mainly use the Silver points on Switch icons. While it's mostly pointless, I oddly get a kick out of collecting them. It's like having a stamp collection
Kinda recently I used them to get the Mother 3 Switch Icons when those were available. First time in forever I actively used My Nintendo, but hey, I'm happy having the Ultimate Chimera as my Switch Icon.
The reason they probably have the rewards for interacting with their websites is because it's a super low effort way that they can satisfy the "no purchase necessary" law for sweepstakes.
@timotheninja true, but all the apps have microtransactions. Even though none of the actions related to earning platinum points technically require in-app purchases, it may be a bit too close for comfort. Throwing some clickable logos on some webpages advertising their games absolutely has no relation to purchasing a product for the purposes of that law.
@Future History Archaeologists That makes sense. Also, I just realized the only way to get them on Switch is through Switch Online, which you have to pay for.
So fun fact, I work at target (no relation to target employee, and no I’m not lying). All of the items shown in the sweepstakes can be purchased at target, so it’s not even anything exclusive for a lot of these sweepstakes
Like we're supposed to believe that you're a target employee and you aren't related to THE target employee? You might want to check your 23andMe cuz there's just no way.
I'll be honest I didn't notice the entire video that this was a separate channel. I was just thinking "oh this is a real chill vibe Scott has with his cozy sweater. Nice style shakeup"
Yeah they do physical items for releases occasionally, right now they have a key chain for years of the kingdom and I remember they did a pin set for Mario all stars
The best physical rewards actually sell out and are quickly delisted. They had super mario 3d all stars posters, as well as N64 keychains that I thought were pretty cool, a hylian shield phone stand as well as a bunch of zelda acrylic items (Skyward sword and Age of Calamity specifically.) It's certainly a far cry from the good ol' days of club N, but if you keep your eye on it, My.N does have some nuggets ocassionally
I was never on club nintendo but I've honestly really loved what my nintendo has offered the past few years. I got some mario 3d all stars posters, metroid dread posters, a splatoon 3 bag, animal crossing roost coasters, and more. And I only had to pay shipping which is less than $8. All I had to do was play super mario run a couple times a week.
Same. I feel like it's gotten better recently, Splatoon Bag and a big sticker pack, and Metroid Prime pins. And I don't even use any of their apps, it gives you silver coins if you have Switch Online and play certain games you have/ back up save data once a week. It's a shame it's NSO only though
@@Lanman106 a few weeks ago I think. There's also some Metroid Prime wallpapers and game cover print-outs for if you weren't able to get a physical copy but want a Metroid Prime case on your shelf
@@daspacedog For last year's charity event, Scott sold booster packs with cards related to the show. Each card came with a QR-Code which leads to a (timed-)exclusive video.
Scott saying the words “Dragalia Lost” made me feel so seen - I doubt the game will be remembered by the world at large, despite the fact that it was quite fun and endearing. But everyone knows what happens when you make a fun gacha game that you’d don’t need to spend money to compete in….
Maybe not in the general gaming sphere, but Dragalia Lost was very beloved in the gacha community (which is larger than people expect). I don't think it will ever be forgotten there, especially since it's the prime example of "too much kindness can kill".
I hope it won't be forgotten; my friend loves it so much he's showing me uploads of the story and everything. He loved talking about it enough that when i wasn't able to watch the videos with him (complicated), he would describe Every Chapter By Text and he did that for 15 entire chapters. His passion for it carried to me and i really have fondness for it now, and the characters are so engaging. It's really disheartening to see it go, but i don't think it'll be forgotten. Or like, i really hope it won't be ^^
genuinely, i have let so many platinum points expire and rot away because i never knew this other storefront (for the physical items) existed. thank you for making this video
Love how this feels like a main channel video but it's Scott Wozniak talking instead of Scott the Woz. Would honestly love to see more of this style on here because its really cool to just see Scott be himself and still be able to make a niche nerdy video interesting
the base cost of shipping is around $7 and can take 4-9 days to ship, but i checked recently and theyre now offering faster shipping at a higher cost, with the fastest shipping option taking around 2-3 days and costing $20 (according to the official website)
My Nintendo is one of those things that I just question when I go in there. I got my account when 3D Allstars came out and saved up for a little case. The case is practically useless and the posters (which I also got later on) are better but it’s still neat. It’s free so I recommend anyone with a Nintendo account getting it but it’s not a big thing if you don’t
You do need to pay for shipping. I bought a Mario Kart lanyard back in 2021 (they don't offer it anymore?) with silver points, & I then had to pay $8 shipping. It's pretty cool but I realized in a recent visit to the website that the ID paper on the inside of the lanyard is now being offered as a free printable under Phones/PC rewards. :(
I miss club Nintendo so much. Even right now the rewards like a string backpack or an acrylic pin are such low quality. Still got some of the amazing posters and music CDs!
One of my favorite memories with My Nintendo was trying to get those Mario 35th anniversary pin sets in the middle of online classes. Their website just could NOT handle the traffic. I kept refreshing and I managed to get both sets. Pretty happy with those.
MyNintendo has had a few (emphasis on few) good physical things. I got the Splatoon x Pokémon keychains and they’re neat doodads that sit on my shelf. The UK got some sweet Gameboy posters that I’d love for NA to get as well
Not really a big loss honestly. A few themes, Flipnote 3D, and a picross game. Back in the day, you could get tons of themes for free, discounts on a bunch of games, etc. Then they just randomly stopped doing it and that page sat dead for years. I really think that they should integrate Switch stuff on the site now in a similar way. Let us finally get themes for example.
For anyone who says we're just looking back at Club Nintendo with rose-tinted glasses, we're not. Their physical rewards were more often of a higher quality and with free shipping, and they offered heavily-discounted or even free games all the time. My Nintendo doesn't even begin to compare.
I think the physical items are definitely a step in the right direction, but not enabling customers to earn their points in any other ways than clicking the weekly mii and occasionally finding secret game things is dumb
The peak of Scott’s content is this, him just going on a 30+ video giving thoughts on a random Nintendo niche subject. Much prefer this over the bits on the main channel.
This is overwhelmingly refreshing, I personally find his meta humor and skits to be a little too frequent/over the top on his normal stuff. If he struck a balance between that and how Whimsu handles humor and info, I'd be a much bigger fan.
@@notsyzagts7967 what I mean is that with that sweater Scott looks really smart, and it’s weird for really smart people to also be really funny, especially in the way that Scott is funny. I don’t mean he usually looks dumb, he just looks rather generic, and I’m not complaining about that either. And what does that say about me?
@@notsyzagts7967 youtube is the only place along with twitter where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted "you expect dumb and strange" bitch halt. that is a completely different sentence. the fuck are you talking about.
It's really sad how the transition from 2016 to 2017 was when it came to Nintendo's consumer aspect. So much of the funny community stuff they did during the 3ds and wii u stuff just got drained away, be it Nintendo Rewards, Miiverse, 3ds themes, etc. They're not necessities, but they were a great bonus for being a nintendo fan beyond just the games
Those perks may have came back, but once the switch turned out to be a non stop money printing machine for their company, they lost all incentive to try harder to attract fans with better service. May also have something to do with the new president, idk.
I feel like this video isn’t complete without talking how Mynintendo integrates to the switch online app (using platinum points for icons, the monthly missions to play certain games for platinum points, etc.) platinum points add like a meta layer of gaming that sort of act like PlayStation’s achievements, and while they could be pushed farther, they’ve never had more of a point than in the last year or so.
As someone who's gotten a damn Gold Rush worth of Platinum Coins from playing FE Heroes over the last 6 years (yes, I am depressed), I've actually grown to really love My Nintendo if I'm honest. I just let my points build up as I naturally play the mobile games and explore the dumb websites, and can occasionally spend like $5 in shipping to receive tons of Nintendo merchandise from the store. Plus, some of the rewards like that Splatfest keychain set are genuinely cool! I can say with certainty that I've already gotten more out of My than I ever did with Club. I mean sure, one gave me Pikmin 3 for free and the other gave me a desktop calendar, but to that I'd say "checkmate."
27:03 I got the Warioware pin set and a calendar on MyNintendo, I can confirm, yes you *DO* have to pay shipping for these items, but for a freebie, that's not bad.
the most common place platinum points can be spent is actually locked behind nintendo online too :-/ . You can use them to buy icon elements, usually switching themes each month with characters and backgrounds you can use for icons! (like animal crossing will do whoever's birthdays are that month) sucks that it's locked behind money, thanks nintendo! > also to add on, you can gain platinum points more frequently with online too. usually logging in and checking on the 'nintendo online' sector will give you a few. icons + backgrounds usually cost 10 points each iirc
Hey Scott! I really love this second channel of yours! It’s such a nice contrast between you trying so hard to be funny and zany you fall on your face and just talking like a normal enthusiastic person.
I got one thing off My Nintendo, and I'm convinced it's pretty cool... It was a 8 game switch case with a reversible cover art of the switch and its controllers. Japanese format box as well so the text on the spine wasn't centred like other PAL games
Let me just say, I love the splatoon tote bag from the store. I have it in my car and it's almost as big as an Ikea bag. It's so useful for food shopping, shopping trips or whatever the heck I'm doing.
great example of the sweepstakes improving, the one for metroid prime remastered has a metal art plate and a hoodie, neither of which are available otherwise. and hey there are platinum point missions on switch
I remember the Annual Rewards depending on your membership level of club nintendo. I think I got some weird mario/donkey kong game. More importantly, I remember getting the 3-poster set which featured pikmin, toon link, and Mario. It was cool as a kid to get something real mailed to you “for free”
On the console Gold can be used to by games Platinum can be used for profile picture maker Theres are also missions like: Play online Play a game trial Log in
I got so into Miitomo and AC: Pocket Camp back in the day…exclusively for that Twilight Princess picross. TP was my fave game at the time, and I was so afraid that they would take it down before I could save up enough coins for it. High school me could’ve saved so much stress knowing it would still be up like 7 years later
So you CAN get platinum points from doing stuff with actual games, but it's pretty much just "play a game online (weekly)" or "use cloud save feature (weekly)", and only if you have NSO. It's a little over 100 or something coins per week, so whatever. You DO pay shipping for the My Nintendo store stuff, it's like $7, but that's per shipment, so if you get a bunch of stuff in one go, you can "save" some money (insofar as it can be called saving, since it's all trinkets you didn't need in the first place).
The posters were so badass I actually got them framed. I also liked the Mario posters, but those weren't holographic so they're just pinned to the wall for me.
To give my word on this the my Nintendo rewards is actually pretty good but there is a shipping fee. But there's only one sitting for you for no matter how many items to get. You can either collect a bunch of platinum points and get a bunch of awards, or you can get some rewards while buying something off the website and only having to pay that one shipping
Fun fact, if you visit the My Nintendo URL in the web archive, even that is the same that they used back in the GameCube days. It existed, then there's a long gap where Club Nintendo existed, then it's back.
I am so happy you made of video about this. I’ve always been pissed about the rewards on the My Nintendo website it’s literally a insult to Nintendo players

The worst part of the store rewards is that they make you spend like $5 for shipping, so it's not actually just the platinum points
Yeah unless you already are spending enough to get free shipping, then you can combine. The store feels overpriced though, so it's still not great
yeah but you can add as many items as you want and it'll all be 7 dollars
From what I can remember Club Nintendo also made you spend money for shipping, at least for me they did.
Unless you live near a Nintendo building, of course.

It's really sad how the transition from 2016 to 2017 was when it came to Nintendo's consumer aspect. So much of the funny community stuff they did during the 3ds and wii u stuff just got drained away, be it Nintendo Rewards, Miiverse, 3ds themes, etc. They're not necessities, but they were a great bonus for being a nintendo fan beyond just the games
Those perks may have came back, but once the switch turned out to be a non stop money printing machine for their company, they lost all incentive to try harder to attract fans with better service. May also have something to do with the new president, idk.
this feels like a calm scott the woz video
Scott wearing a turttleneck is so strange because it looks like someone photoshoped Scotts face over someone wearing a turtleneck
I feel like this video isn’t complete without talking how Mynintendo integrates to the switch online app (using platinum points for icons, the monthly missions to play certain games for platinum points, etc.) platinum points add like a meta layer of gaming that sort of act like PlayStation’s achievements, and while they could be pushed farther, they’ve never had more of a point than in the last year or so.
Scott Just made My Nintendo Relevant again, Thanks Scott 👍
As someone who's gotten a damn Gold Rush worth of Platinum Coins from playing FE Heroes over the last 6 years (yes, I am depressed), I've actually grown to really love My Nintendo if I'm honest. I just let my points build up as I naturally play the mobile games and explore the dumb websites, and can occasionally spend like $5 in shipping to receive tons of Nintendo merchandise from the store. Plus, some of the rewards like that Splatfest keychain set are genuinely cool! I can say with certainty that I've already gotten more out of My than I ever did with Club. I mean sure, one gave me Pikmin 3 for free and the other gave me a desktop calendar, but to that I'd say "checkmate."
HES DOING IT! HES EVOLVING!
27:03 I got the Warioware pin set and a calendar on MyNintendo, I can confirm, yes you *DO* have to pay shipping for these items, but for a freebie, that's not bad.
scott, you genuinely look stunning in that outfit.
Thanks.
the most common place platinum points can be spent is actually locked behind nintendo online too :-/ . You can use them to buy icon elements, usually switching themes each month with characters and backgrounds you can use for icons! (like animal crossing will do whoever's birthdays are that month) sucks that it's locked behind money, thanks nintendo!
> also to add on, you can gain platinum points more frequently with online too. usually logging in and checking on the 'nintendo online' sector will give you a few. icons + backgrounds usually cost 10 points each iirc
The audio being ever so slightly out of sync is driving me insane
true but it’s not out of sync for the entire video, at some point it just got fixed??
Scott in a turtleneck looks sweet
Hey Scott! I really love this second channel of yours! It’s such a nice contrast between you trying so hard to be funny and zany you fall on your face and just talking like a normal enthusiastic person.
I got one thing off My Nintendo, and I'm convinced it's pretty cool... It was a 8 game switch case with a reversible cover art of the switch and its controllers. Japanese format box as well so the text on the spine wasn't centred like other PAL games
Oh my god it’s Scott Wozniak’s evil clone, Stash!
i actually used my Nintendo quite a lot back in the day. the wallpapers for PC and 3ds were pretty cool just for logging in
Let me just say, I love the splatoon tote bag from the store. I have it in my car and it's almost as big as an Ikea bag. It's so useful for food shopping, shopping trips or whatever the heck I'm doing.
I might get it now…. I was going to get the splatoon keychains but I was wondering the quality! I was thinking about the other Kirby keychain
great example of the sweepstakes improving, the one for metroid prime remastered has a metal art plate and a hoodie, neither of which are available otherwise. and hey there are platinum point missions on switch
I remember the Annual Rewards depending on your membership level of club nintendo. I think I got some weird mario/donkey kong game. More importantly, I remember getting the 3-poster set which featured pikmin, toon link, and Mario. It was cool as a kid to get something real mailed to you “for free”
On the console
Gold can be used to by games
Platinum can be used for profile picture maker
Theres are also missions like:
Play online
Play a game trial
Log in
gotta love Scott
The fact that Scott is both an apple and a nintendo fanboy tells me this boi is into punishment, and i respect it.
I got so into Miitomo and AC: Pocket Camp back in the day…exclusively for that Twilight Princess picross. TP was my fave game at the time, and I was so afraid that they would take it down before I could save up enough coins for it. High school me could’ve saved so much stress knowing it would still be up like 7 years later
Crazy that you’ve been holding onto this video for 5 months, never change Scott ❤
Once in a while there is some cool physical rewards
So you CAN get platinum points from doing stuff with actual games, but it's pretty much just "play a game online (weekly)" or "use cloud save feature (weekly)", and only if you have NSO. It's a little over 100 or something coins per week, so whatever.
You DO pay shipping for the My Nintendo store stuff, it's like $7, but that's per shipment, so if you get a bunch of stuff in one go, you can "save" some money (insofar as it can be called saving, since it's all trinkets you didn't need in the first place).
Scott dresses like a grandma and peruses MyNintendo
1997 icon
damn Scott low key startin' to give off young dilf vibes with that sweater
Scott in a cashmere sweater is not a look I expected, but one I really like
Dragalia Lost mentioned, I shall now go bawl in a corner again
Those Metroid Dread posters are legit though. I always like looking at the physical stuff on there.
The posters were so badass I actually got them framed. I also liked the Mario posters, but those weren't holographic so they're just pinned to the wall for me.
i had no idea u had to get the points thru settings in physical games. thank u. i’ll be doing that now
Scott The Woz style video on Scott’s Stash? Cool
12:30 you can claim toad as much as u want and your gift box will be filled with toad even if you claimed toad already
9:46 Scott says Dragalia Lost, I feel so validated!
I wish it got a remaster or Switch port. It was really good.
Losties rejoice, Scott says "Dragalia Lost"
Losties forever!
Cable knit sweater Scott makes me feel things.
To give my word on this the my Nintendo rewards is actually pretty good but there is a shipping fee. But there's only one sitting for you for no matter how many items to get. You can either collect a bunch of platinum points and get a bunch of awards, or you can get some rewards while buying something off the website and only having to pay that one shipping
I like to think that Scott's Mac and his PC (in the background) like to give each other death glares.
Fun fact, if you visit the My Nintendo URL in the web archive, even that is the same that they used back in the GameCube days. It existed, then there's a long gap where Club Nintendo existed, then it's back.
I remember getting DK Tropical Freeze for free back on Club Nintendo, so this still feels like a drastic step down.
9:45 Dragalia Lost ended service a while ago, so.. at least they updated the website for that?
Nice sweater Scot
I am so happy you made of video about this. I’ve always been pissed about the rewards on the My Nintendo website it’s literally a insult to Nintendo players
You don't know the meaning of a *real* insult until you've met me, kiddo.
Heh... Heh heh...
That sweater looks good on Scott...
