What a time to be alive. Following the rather dramatic saga of the Splatoon keyrings and the ongoing difficulty people are having in getting the Mario 35th Anniversary pins, it's MyNintendo's game to lose - all they have to do is keep giving us things we actually want, rather than, you know, phone wallpapers of Yoshi's feet or something.
These new lenticular magnets - which is the fancy name for those pictures that move when you move - feature Mario/Cat Mario, Luigi/Cat Luigi, Peach/Cat Peach, Toad/Cat Toad, and the boxart from Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury/Cat boxart from... nah, we're just kidding.
You can visit the MyNintendo Europe site (just make sure you're signed in) to grab these while they're still in stock for 350 Platinum Points, if you're keen to transform your fridge into a bunch of pictures of people dressed as cats.
In North America, the new rewards include a reversible Bravely Default II poster for 700 Platinum Points, and wallpapers for your PC or phone. Sorry, America - it's not quite as cool as lenticular magnets, and it's also much more expensive. Then again, you did get the pins, so all's fair in the end... right?
Will you be grabbing the magnets, the poster, or saving your points for something better?

Why do they even keep the My Nintendo Rewards around?
Going to look up "Lenticular" 😠ðŸ˜
(I don't mind learning, though )
edit: Oops. See's definition in article.
I have a lenticular magnet from NASA, Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, where SpaceX launches rockets. It's just magnet with a lighthouse and seagull that moves, says Wallops Flight Facity on it, but it IS from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, VA!
Got 'em!
Thank you!
All featuring the same models/artwork you've seen countless times before~!
Did we get the pins, though? Did we!?
@ChaoticIgnorance Yeah, after being so excited for the first set and then them just being sold out I didn't even try for the second.
@WoomyNNYes
I had quite a giggle there... I just love the word WALLOP! 😆
YOOOOOO Lets get it Nintendo peeps
No wonder the Splatoon key rings went so quick. I didn’t realize they were only 100 points
Never mind, it shows 350 points on the website. Not sure what that pic in the other story is
I am sooooo happy, New Zealand has finnnaally started to get physical my nintendo rewards. Unfortunately, they are only slowly dripping in, every few weeks or more get added. But been so jealous of overseas getting all these rewards, now i have something to spend my points on!!!
I would get the magnets right now...if they were in NA.
Ah well, at least I'm getting the 2nd set of the Mario pins.
Yes, "What a time to be alive", but Don't forget "what a place to live"...
All these are rewards, as usual, are unavailable in my country.
Blooming heck, shipping is silly expensive. Worse, with the way they do these purchases, you can’t combine shipping, even though they allow you try. Ordering two items at the same time presents you with a combined shipping of £8 something, where separately it is £6 something each. However, to be able to purchase an item you need to enter in a code for it, and you can only enter One code for each order, so I spent over £12 on some magnets and some postcards.
I’m never ordering physical goods from My Nintendo Store again. They need to combine it with the Official Nintendo Store UK for when you’re in the appropriate place, as I think the shipping would be cheaper and at least then I could throw in some mini Lego sets to make it worth it…
Got them. Look nice
All the physical rewards we had in Europe
Give us those classic mario pins!
I still dislike how a credit card is absolutely needed for this. I refuse to get a credit card specifically for these purchases.
@Yosher doesn’t it let you pay by debit card or PayPal like here in the uk
I really want that Bravely Default 2 poster. Welp, back to Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes for a bit.
@1UP_MARIO Nope, in the Netherlands it's credit card only. I WISH it were possible to pay with PayPal, then I could get some of these stupid things.
I want the cat mario keychain
It must be nice to live in Europe
