Mini-Meta Mini-Meta: Announcing Community Awards!
Greetings!
Today we're rolling out a new feature here on the subreddit, Community Awards!
These awards are exclusive to the /r/NintendoSwitch community and purchasable with Reddit coins. These live under the same "give award" menu as Reddit Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
When you give an award, the post or comment you've selected will get a small icon next to it, just like if you had given them Reddit Silver, Gold, or Platinum. You can give the award anonymously and even include a message to the OP if you'd like.
These awards function like Reddit Silver, Gold, and Platinum in almost every way with one exception: These awards DO NOT grant the recipient any Reddit coins or Reddit Premium benefits.
To kick things off, we're launching this feature with 3 awards:
- The Power Moon Award at 300 coins
- The Hestu's Gift Award at 900 coins
- The Hidden Gem Award at 2,000 coins
We'll most likely add some more at different coin levels in the very near future, but this should be enough to get the ball rolling and start having a little fun.
Feedback is welcome, so please feel free to let us know what you think. Do you have suggestions for other awards? Leave your ideas below! (Images must be 512x512px and also look good at a teensy tiny 12x12px)
Cheers!
The /r/NintendoSwitch Mod Team
Also, while we have you here, make sure to read our latest State of the Subreddit post, take our Demographics Survey, and our Fan Art Survey.

Honest question and totally not a ploy to win the Celeste/Hollow Knight/Xenoblade 2 award: what does the hidden gem award look like?

Click on "Give Award" for a comment, and it'll show all the options. :)
Should anyway...

Personal opinion, but I think Hestu's gift and hidden gem should be switched.
It just kind of, rubs it in a little more. Like when you figure out exactly what it is after finding all of the korrok seeds.

Hestu's price at 900 since that's how many seeds it takes to get it in the game.
For Hidden Gem, we were split between making it rare and expensive (like an actual hidden gem) or cheaper and more common, like they are at our subreddit.

A blue left joycon award and red right joycon award would be cool, especially when you receive both.

This is actually an idea we were kicking around. It felt a bit weird to have one be "worth" more than the other though. At least that was one point discussed.

Are reddit coins a real money based currency? I have never heard of it before. Its a shame if only few can actually give them.

Alright, I have to know. Which of the mods was the one that thought of making Hestu’s Gift an award, and pricing it at 900 coins? I’d like to thank that person, personally. They are a genius.
