Gaming Sonic Mania and Redeeming Coins

[godreborn]

I just bought sonic mania (retail) today. when I went to redeem coins, a message popped up saying that it's too early to redeem coins for this title. I bought captain toad along with it. do I have to wait so many days or something? does this title even have coins?

I noticed this too with Sonic Mania as well as Shaq Fu. I remember trying to redeem the coins on Shaq Fu every day for about a week with no success. I tried again about a month later and it worked.

my concern here is if best buy broke the street date or something, then I was banned for playing a game early due to best buy's mistake. I'm going legit with the switch, so that would piss me off.

As long as you didnt go online you should be fine.

well, I'm connected online at all times. I did download an update for the game last night, so I'm assuming all is good.

I highly doubt you would get banned by playing the game early. Nintendo is well aware that retailers can break street dates and it's not the consumers fault. I got Mario Tennis 2 days early from some independent game store and they always break the street date. Never an issue.

There's no ban risk if you get a physical game earlier, what happened with pokémon sun/moon is that most of banned folks used a CIA (installable version) of the leaked game and used the online services of said game way earlier. It was easy to nintendo do a cross reference to detected those who used a installable version without using a reviewer code to download the game.

But I'm baffled that even almost a week after the launch Nintendo won't let you redeem the golden coins for the game.

it's the only game that I've had this problem with. captain toad and ys viii were both bought near the release date and neither had this problem.

I had this problem with another game (might've been mega man legacy collection 1). it was a somewhat recent purchase. legacy collection 2 went through without a problem. when I went to swap carts, I did check sonic mania again, and I still got that error message. has anyone managed to get this to work with sonic mania?
