Mine does not contain such fun.OP, I will call you selfish. As a fellow August birthday person, I looked at Nintendo's email and they also gave you cool craft projects.

Nintendo's birthday rewards are a damn joke
- Thread starter Transistor

No I wouldn't, it's actually pretty cool of them to give you anything at all. Not lots of companies do
That was back when they did Microsoft Points so it was 800 points for $10.
When you click on the link and you are signed in, you get to download a bunch of wallpapers, Mario/Link birthday invitations, a DIY calendar that looks like the old rewards desk calendar, a birthday banner and some other goodies.

Oh, I got my present alright. My wife and I are here dying laughing at the hostility
oof that makes that 20 points worth even less than 20 cents :(
There's a lot that confuses me about the electronic mail which you have received, OP, but I think the fact that none of those prices are anywhere near 30% is the biggest one.
Indeed. Woke up with a sticky on the Switch to look at the home screen, MUA3 was preloaded on my Bday from my wife. That was a nice surprise.
To be fair Nintendo didn't have to give you anything.
I don't remember any other platforms giving me anything.

This is what I was going to say. I got it as a birthday discount last year and played the heck out of it!
Ha, just got the same email and was like, "oh neat". The games aren't the best or newest but they're literally giving out discounts for birthday months. Take what you can get.
14 USD for Pikmin 3 or 28 USD for Samus Returns are ok deals, I think.
CLICK ON THE UPPER PART OF THE EMAIL, OLD MAN!

Dammit. I knew I shoulda patented automated in-game birthday rewards back when I was paying 'em out manually at Kabam...
Nintendo could have a promotion of ADDING +30% more on your birthday and some Nintendo fans will eat that shit up gladly LMAO
While I agree that it's better than nothing, the big takeaway here is that Nintendo seriously needs to update its customer rewards program. Switch has been out for 2 and a half years and production of the Wii U officially ended in November of 2016. It's pretty ridiculous in that very specifically Nintendo way that they're still not offering Switch-based rewards outside of the eShop coin system.

I mean, my birthday ain't for another 28 days, but thanks :)
Nintendo always sends them to me on August 1 for some reason, even though my birthday is set right on my profile
I felt the same way when I got my email, OP. I was hype...for nothing. Just give me points instead, Ninty. Come on.
It's bad enough that nothing would be preferable. They set you up with some excitement when you see the email, then you look at the game selection/platforms. It's almost like intentional trolling. I'd rather have a phone wallpaper.

Same OP. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure these were mostly the same as last year. I remember being disappointed that the discount didn't stack with a mynintendo reward at the time for Pikmin 3
Hey OP, would it make you feel any better if I told you that I just booked you a three week stay at your local Howard Johnson for your birthday?
I made sure it even had an oven, so you're not stuck eating Taco Bell everyday.

Couldn't even spring for a Holiday Inn? Who are you, Nintendo?
The gift's not great but it's better than the nothing everyone else gives you. Anyways, happy birthday!
Pretty much this. Sony, MS, Valve, no one else sends me a discount of any sort on my birthday.
Well I don't think Sony has ever congratulated me for my birthday. At least you got an email ;p
This is almost so bad it's good though!It still beats what Microsoft was giving to people in 2014 as an Xbox Live "Reward" on your birthday, a PDF of a paper cake.
LMAO
Oh shit!It still beats what Microsoft was giving to people in 2014 as an Xbox Live "Reward" on your birthday, a PDF of a paper cake.
Is that real?

Yeah, lol. All of those people are some tools. It's his fucking birthday for Christ sake
