Major Changes to Minecoins on Nintendo Platforms

Currency Lockdown
Starting October 27, Minecoins purchased on Nintendo devices will be locked to that platform, ending universal cross-play currency support. Existing balances will move to a 🟢 Legacy Wallet that remains cross-compatible until fully spent.
Usage Restrictions
- Wallet Split: Future purchases on Nintendo go into a separate device-specific wallet.
- Retail Cards: Check packaging carefully as new physical cards may exclude Nintendo support.
- Priority Spending: Your legacy currency is automatically prioritized before new local funds.
General store navigation and redemption remains unchanged for now. This regional restriction is a massive blow to cross-platform flexibility.
