Nintendo announces free store credit and surprise Animal Crossing update

Of course, the main incentive to play video games is to have fun and escape from our worldly woes even for a brief moment but it’s always nice to receive a bonus of free store credit that we can spend how we please.

Gold points are awarded for buying major titles on theNintendo Switchthat can be redeemed as a discount on future digital purchases via the eShop while Platinum points can be redeemed against variousfree goodies.

Once you’ve accumulated the required amount of Platinum points you can thenspendthem on My Nintendo Rewards on items such as aPaper Mario: Thousand-Year Doornotebook,Pikmin 4keyrings, aMario vs. DonkeyKong mobile phone ring, and much more. Seriously, it’s worth checking out My Nintendo Rewards from time to time because it often includes items that cannot be purchased at retail.

Yet, if you wanted more fun ways to earn Platinum points and if you’re a fan ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, then this upcoming event is for you. Nintendo has announced the ‘Animal Cross: New Horizons - Aquarium Tour’ which will not only allow you to learn more about the characters of the game but you’ll also be able to meet them too.

What’s more, you will have the opportunity to attend a meet-and-greet with Isabelle, K.K. Slider and Tom Nook (hopefully, the latter won’t trick you into accepting an extortionate loan). However, that is not all, because all attendees will be gifted with 100 Platinum points.

The dates for the ‘Animal Cross: New Horizons - Aquarium Tour’ are as follows:
