my birthday was April 21st, that morning i used my play coins up on Streetpass Quest(Find Mii) and was left with 0 coins, i earned the ten coins by walking about my room and left the 3ds in the house before i went out that night, the next day i went for a walk to the shop to buy head ache pills and when i returned i had 30 play coins leading me to believe i earned an extra 10 on my birthday.

can anyone confirm this?

maybe just a glitch or something because i did walk enough steps to earn the 20

The DS Lite had a higher pitched start-up sound on my birthday, so an extra 10 play coins as a birthday bonus definitely sounds like something Nintendo would do.

My b-day was April 10th.

I woke up with 0 play coins for that day and went to bed with the same 0 .

The next morning it still said 0.

So i really don't think nintendo gives anything for anyones birthday.

and yes i am aware certain games like animal crossing and DQ9 give little b-day perks.. but we arent talking about games here people, we are talking about nintendo itself and the play coin feature.

"Head ache" pills... :P Hmm, anyway, I think it's possible, because as dzimm says, the DS tells you when it's your birthday.

i'll let you know in september if i get the bonus coins or not. would be a cool bonus, but this is the first i've heard of it.

I wonder if you can trick it into thinking everyday is your birthday, and rack up coins faster...

Shame my birthday was before I got the 3DS. My DS Phat made different sounds on the menu and Pokemon White wished me happy birthday though.

Hmm not sure then as I didnt go anywhere on that day so like i said i had 0 play coins for the day.. I guess I could always reset the clock thingy and find out if it does let me get the extra 10.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did give them to you. My birthday was April 24th, but I didn't get any extra play coins. I got two streetpass hits, and a few coins, but not any extra coins... So maybe it was a glitch, or maybe you did something special. They always do something special on your birthday though. I took a few photos on my birthday, and instead of a date for the pics, it had a BDAY cake. And on our DSi's, me and my bro did Pictochat, and it sent him a happy BDAY message. So I wouldn't be surprised if they did give you 10 extra.
