My Nintendo wrapped up December with a lineup of holiday-themed rewards and promotions tied closely to recent Nintendo releases. The program’s latest update arrived alongside the launch of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, using the momentum of a major release to spotlight new collectibles, digital items, and limited-time sweepstakes for members.
The December refresh continues Nintendo’s established approach with My Nintendo: encouraging regular engagement through Platinum Points, while offering a mix of physical merchandise, downloadable content, and promotional events aimed at long-time fans of its franchises.
Holiday Content Focused on Mario and Yoshi
Seasonal rewards played a central role in December’s offerings. My Nintendo introduced a Super Mario Yoshi Holiday Ornament, aligning with the broader holiday theme. Alongside this, the My Nintendo Mario and Yoshi Stellar Sweepstakes opened to eligible members in the United States and Canada, excluding Quebec.
The sweepstakes features a Super Mario – Mario and Yoshi Exclusive Edition statue produced by First 4 Figures. Members can enter by redeeming 10 Platinum Points per entry, with a limit of five entries per account. The promotion runs through early January 2026, with one winner receiving the statue, which carries an approximate retail value of $599.99 USD. A holiday-themed digital wallpaper was also made available, reinforcing the seasonal focus.
Metroid Prime Takes Center Stage in December
The release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond shaped much of My Nintendo’s December content. Among the most notable rewards is a holographic poster set inspired by the new game. The set includes two large foil posters featuring Samus Aran, one highlighting her updated design and the other showcasing her with the Vi-O-La motorcycle. Members can redeem the posters using 1,000 Platinum Points.
Additional Metroid Prime 4: Beyond digital rewards include a themed wallpaper and a printable version of the game’s official box art cover. These items expand the selection of downloadable content tied directly to the franchise’s latest entry and provide low-barrier options for fans looking to use their accumulated points.
Sweepstakes Celebrating the Metroid Prime Legacy
Beyond the new release, My Nintendo also looked back at the broader Metroid Prime series with the Metroid Prime Legacy Sweepstakes. This promotion gives members a chance to win a Samus Gravity Suit PVC statue along with the Metroid Prime 1–3: A Visual Retrospective art book.
The sweepstakes runs through early February 2026 and is open to eligible residents of the United States and Canada, excluding Quebec. Five winners will be selected, each receiving both items. Entries are made by redeeming Platinum Points, continuing My Nintendo’s point-based system for access to premium prizes.
Ongoing Missions and Platinum Point Opportunities
December’s update also highlighted the ongoing role of Nintendo Switch Online missions within the My Nintendo ecosystem. Members with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can complete missions to earn Platinum Points, which can then be redeemed for physical rewards, digital items, and icon elements used to customize user profiles on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems.
Nintendo reiterated that new rewards appear regularly, positioning My Nintendo as an evolving platform rather than a static loyalty program. For players invested in Nintendo’s broader ecosystem, the combination of missions, points, and rotating rewards remains a consistent incentive to check in frequently.
