The My Nintendo Store is an absolute nightmare

The European one, at least.

Come on, Nintendo, get with the times!

So I was about to get some of that Mario 35 merch before it disappears in a few days, but my god is the online Nintendo Store primitive.

My biggest issue is that they only accept credit card. Not even PayPal. I'm 19, don't have a credit card and I'm not planning to get one any time soon. Most of, if not all my online purchases I easily do with PayPal, but I guess I gotta ask my parents if they can buy Nintendo stuff for me.

And when I'm buying €100 in clothes, you can't even throw a bone and ship it for free? I'm sure you made plenty of profit off of my order already. It's not that much extra, but c'mon man.

The promo code field taunted me when checking out, and I remembered there's a bunch of free stuff you can get with the platinum points, except you can only insert one code per order. Will I go for the nice posters, the reusable acnh bag, the weird little pouch they just added... Why I gotta choose? Why can't I redeem them all? If I want them all I will need to order them separately, each with their own extra shipping costs. It's just not user and eco-friendly.

Anyway, rant over. If you need me, I'll be playing a lousy, needlessly exclusive collection of games I payed too much for, which I probably could've emulated for free. Sucked in again...
