My Nintendo Theme 4: Samus Rolls Out in Europe and Japan for 3DS Users

Nintendo Expands My Nintendo Rewards with 'Theme 4: Samus' for 3DS Since its inception, My Nintendo has offered a steady stream of digital rewards designed to thank players for their loyalty.

The program, which replaced the company’s former Club Nintendo initiative, lets users earn Platinum and Gold Points through gameplay and account activity.

These points can be redeemed for game discounts, downloadable content, and exclusive items across platforms like the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, and the eShop.

One recent addition has caught the attention of fans of both classic and modern Nintendo titles, especially devotees of the Metroid franchise. Europe and Japan recently welcomed the release of 'My Nintendo Theme 4: Samus,' a minimalistic HOME Menu theme that personalizes the look and feel of the Nintendo 3DS interface.

Available for just 200 Platinum Points, this new reward carries on the legacy of previous themes starring iconic characters such as Mario, Donkey Kong, and Link.

Like its predecessors, the Samus theme offers a visually clean and straightforward design, focusing on beloved series imagery tailored for longtime Nintendo fans. A statement from My Nintendo emphasizes the simplicity and accessibility of these HOME Themes, aiming to reward regular users with minor yet meaningful customization bonuses.

The release of 'Theme 4: Samus' is currently limited to European and Japanese markets.

However, based on the pattern of previous releases, availability in North America is widely anticipated to follow, though Nintendo has yet to officially confirm the timing. My Nintendo’s digital reward offerings are frequently updated, catering to a diverse array of tastes.

The addition of the Samus theme is particularly timely, with enduring fan enthusiasm following Metroid’s recent milestones, including the launch of "Metroid Dread" on Nintendo Switch in October 2021 and the franchise’s celebrated return to critical acclaim. Though the rewards program has drawn some criticism for not matching the breadth and value of its predecessor, Club Nintendo, user engagement remains high.

Many members value these extra content drops, like HOME Themes, for offering a personalized experience on devices like the Nintendo 3DS.

Fans looking to redeem the new Samus theme can log in to their My Nintendo account and claim it directly from the rewards catalog, provided they have accumulated at least 200 Platinum Points through eligible activities. As My Nintendo continues to evolve, periodic additions such as unique 3DS themes reinforce Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to rewarding players across its platforms.

Gamers interested in staying updated on the latest themes and digital rewards are encouraged to check announcements via the official My Nintendo website and eShop news feed.
