United States and Canada · five Switch 2 accessory packs
Five winners each receive a four-item Mario and Yoshi pack, including a wireless controller and protective case for Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo’s Best Buds draw is a points-redemption sweepstakes rather than a product purchase promotion. The prize combines two licensed PowerA accessories for Nintendo Switch 2 with a decorative Yoshi pillow and plush backpack.
The prize pack contains a PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch 2 in the Mario and Yoshi design, a matching PowerA protection case, a Super Mario Yoshi decorative pillow and a plush Yoshi backpack.
Nintendo lists five identical winner packages. The total approximate retail value for all five is $649.80, which places the individual package at just under $130 based on the published component values.
The entry action is a reward redemption. A member with ten points can make one entry; a member using the maximum ten-entry allowance spends 100 Platinum Points. The rules do not describe a refund if the entrant changes their mind.
A purchase is not required, and Nintendo states that payment does not improve the odds. The practical barrier is therefore the account and available points balance rather than ownership of a particular game.
The minimum age is 13, but that does not remove local minor rules. Anyone below the legal age of majority must enter with parent or guardian consent, and the adult may need to complete release documents if the minor is selected.
Quebec residents are excluded. Elsewhere in Canada, a potential winner must correctly answer a time-limited mathematical skill-testing question before the prize can be awarded.
Nintendo plans the random drawing for approximately August 11 and notification for approximately August 18. The message goes to the address tied to the Nintendo Account used for entry.
Ignoring the message, missing requested forms or failing the eligibility check can lead to forfeiture and an alternate selection. The rules also limit awards to one prize per household or address.
Up to ten per person.
Ten My Nintendo Platinum Points.
Yes, but entrants below their local age of majority need parent or guardian consent.
No. Canada is eligible except Quebec.
Within five days of the notification instructions.
