Starting June 14, an eShop sale will offer discounts on some of the company's most popular games, with My Nintendo members being handed a special bonus when purchasing select titles.
The sale will kick off at 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm BST and ends on June 21 at 8.59am PT/11.59am ET/4.50pm BST. The discounted games can be purchased in the Nintendo eShop or through the firm's E3 2016 page.
Miitomo players will also be handed Link-centric gifts should a special tweet be shared 10,000 times worldwide. It's already met the large number, so users will be gifted with a “Link’s new hair wig” for the mobile app.
If it gets 20,000 combined retweets, Nintendo will give all Miitomo users a “Link wig” in the Miitomo app.
A themed Miitomo Drop game will also give users The Legend of Zelda-themed in-app gear for their Mii character. Players will also be able to use Miitomo coins in Miitomo to purchase The Legend of Zelda collaboration items.
An additional The Legend of Zelda collaboration gift will be available on the My Nintendo website, and players can exchange their My Nintendo Platinum Points for this item.
