My Nintendo Store will soon be adding a new set of Fire Emblem Engage pins as a loyalty reward that fans will be able to exchange for Platinum Points. The platform recently commemorated the game's January 20 release with a Fire Emblem Engage wallpaper that can now be redeemed for 50 Platinum Points.
Nintendo has been offering real-life goodies through its loyalty program for over half a decade by now, albeit not too consistently, especially in recent years. Following the latest outage of such My Nintendo rewards that occurred in late 2021, the only new physical collectibles introduced by the company were a couple of Pokemon-themed cable straps. Up until now, that is.
Namely, it would appear that My Nintendo is gearing up to release a limited set of 16 1.5-inch Fire Emblem pins to commemorate the release of Intelligent Systems' latest strategy RPG. 13 of those decorative tacks feature heroes from the series' past games—such as Lyn, Marth, and Ike, who can be summoned using Fire Emblem Engage Emblem Rings. The other three boast artwork from the Engage protagonist Alear, their ally Veyle, and Sommie, a guardian spirit who can be found in the southern end of The Somniel, the player's base of operations.
Curiously enough, the My Nintendo page revealing the Fire Emblem Engage pin series has been pulled earlier this week. While the seemingly premature announcement is still available in cached form, this state of affairs suggests fans might have to wait a few more weeks until they can put in their orders. No specific price point has been pinned to this reward just yet, although Nintendo's track record with limited-edition pins indicates that the upcoming collection might set players back between 500 and 800 Platinum Points. Either way, the pins won't be available individually, and history suggests they'll probably be out of stock come spring.
The pulled announcement page reiterates the fact that Fire Emblem Heroes players get a bonus for Engage, which Nintendo already confirmed in mid-January. It also mentions a small Fire Emblem Engage sweepstakes that went live in December and runs until February 28, 2023. Up until then, fans can redeem 10 Platinum Points through the My Nintendo Store for a chance to win a set of seven acrylic stands featuring portraits of various Fire Emblem heroes. Each account is allowed up to three entries, with Nintendo planning to give out ten identical prizes in total.
Fire Emblem Engage is available now on Nintendo Switch.
