Dataminers have been ploughing through the Nintendo Switch Online app which recently received a new update and have discovered a new event-based gift system being implemented. X user idocode01 has published the findings on the social media platform. That’s not all as there can seemingly be multiple Event Gifts happening at the same time, which would presumably reward users with unique in-game items, We will have to wait for Nintendo to clarify and provide the full details.
Nintendo Switch Online app update datamine shows new Event Gifts system
Really not a fan of the idea of turning normal games into GaaS crap with special one time events to get things. It’s already bad enough with Pokemon.
The idea of event-based gifts in Nintendo Switch Online sounds like a fun way to give users another reason to check the app and participate in special events. I especially like the possibility of receiving unique in-game items, although it makes sense to wait for Nintendo to officially explain how the system will work.
It’s interesting how online platforms are constantly adding new ways to engage their communities. I recently came across https://timesofmalta.com/article/soft2bet-performance-files-a2.1131749, which also touches on developments in the digital entertainment space and is worth a read.
