New details have surfaced regarding Play Coins for the Nintendo 3DS with online gaming publication Aussie Nintendo stating that the Play Coins will be capped at 300.
Users can earn themselves a single Play Coin for walking 100 steps and can earn a maximum of 10 Play Coins during a single day. The Play Coins can later be used to redeem in-game goodies for a variety of Nintendo 3DS games including Super Street Fighter IV.

What Dose This Mean?! Nahhh I get it.
Nice details. Good to know, since I’m getting the 3DS. But Kuwaiti Dinars?!
First! Cant wait for my own 3ds!!! Ill be walking all day for super street fighter IV! Hope you can also use play coins for ocarina of time 3ds
Cool!
That’s awesome! I hope it can also be used for the eShop. I also love the fact you put Kuwait 10 fils coins ;p. I’m from Kuwait.
Play coins would be great to use in Prof. Layton games as hint coins.

but why…. this is kinda stupid. Oh well.
You should get coins for completing games because they’re not doing achievements. Say get 50 coins for completing a game so you could spend them on eShop games or more content for games.
Great example of what Nintendo will probably never do. What a shame.
ohai
Too bad where I live, driving is the only way to get anywhere and taking my 3DS around with me when I go to work out isn’t exactly appealing. Sigh… same thing for the spot pass system. You have to live in a city or frequent them to get the most out of it.
*Sorry for the long comment*Does anyone know what the average cost for a game add-on will be, Example: will a new thing in a game cost 20 coins or 100, well if you only can get 10 a day for 1000 steps it’s hard to get a lot of coins to buy something new for a game. I still love the idea! Also, waht is the average price for nintendo 3ds games, (i.e. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time FTW) will it cost $30 like ds games or 50$
Some of the additional Augmented Reality games are between 2-5 Game Coins, so not much.
O cool thnx “sickr” BTW how did you know that? and also i played a trial for 20 minutes in new york city and the Augmented reality games are so cool, but i couldn’t beat the *SPOILERS* dragon and the mii maker system is much better!
I’ve had the Nintendo 3DS for a couple of weeks now. So I’ve used the Game Coins to unlock the additional Augmented Reality games : )
