Nintendo 3DS Winter 2014 Bonus Game Promotion [EU Only]

[Deleted User]

Sorry if I didn't word that properly.
Let me put in context what I mean. In the US, we've pretty much always got some promotion, as of late it seems like they've been slowing for us. Compared the EU which used to get very few, which now seems to be getting more.
Now I have a better understanding what EU Nintendo gamers feel like.

How do you think it feels to be Australian? We get none of the above, ever.

i find it hilarious that poland doesn't get anything but sanctioned russia sure as hell does ;P

Oh well, no wonder nintendo never managed to stay on our market, prolly never will.

Very tempted to grab Smash Bros. for Kirby Triple Deluxe so I'll need to think about it.

Fuck you Nintendo! They're making a promotion for EU only, but ONLY for select countries! Fuck them! What about the rest of us?
What, our money isn't god enough for them?

Change your 3DS system country to UK and you're part of the promotion too.

I once tried to change my 3DS to Japan (to get the early SLW demo) but it only has European countries.

Yeah...Speaking of that...I had to do that when I set up the internet, because I couldn't get into the shop nor I could get any updates until I changed countries... It may work. Thanks.

But it still sucks that they aren't making it available everywhere if they DO have your country in the selectable list in the first place. Same way Steam does it with GFWL games. Fucking hate region lock, but let's not talk about this here.

Sweet. Does anyone know if you need a 3DS XL Club Nintendo code for the promotion or will registering the serial number of the 3DS XL suffice?

(Might actually put some use to the European 3DS XL the GW3DS team sent. Just need to snag a Smash Bros Club Nintendo code if the above is the case.)

Offering a new game if you register a new 3DS, right after the new 3DS line's announcement.

Oook.

I feel like Americans are getting nothing from Nintendo. Like for any of their systems.
I guess this is how the EU felt with the Wii and I feel bad knowing they were shit on like this for so many years.

EUR titles are pricier by default since forever.

 

[Satangel]

That's a decent deal, thought it would be some crappy title but definitely not. Will keep this in mind

That has to suck.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Pre-ordered Smash Bros. for 3DS and so not only do I get Kirby Triple Deluxe but also the Smash Soundtrack CD, though I'll need to register Smash Bros. for Wii U too later on to get it.

I bought 2DS earlier this year and I haven't registered it anywhere, could I still be eligible for this promotion if I buy Smash Bros or Pokemon? I have bunch of games too that I haven't registered.

Most likely, yes.

 

[james50a]

so if i made a club nintendo account and registered an na game would that count towards the promotion or would i need that regions console, or would i also need an eu ip connecting to the website

 

[Clydefrosch]

Will people whine about 'normal 3ds' soon being outdated in every nintendo thread now? How can you even believe that nonsense?

 

[Ashtonx]

I'm guessing it'll be outdated as nds was after ndsi, meaning apart from few games not really, i doubt many games will use second analogue even less will require extra buttons exactly because of backwards compatibility... there might be some extra features that will use the extra stuff but it's not gonna be a requirement, at least not from third party.

Changes are good, but not enough to make people upgrade. Rather most of them should've been there since first nintendo.

I just wish someone would stop making handhelds so damn slim and unergonomic. I really hope someone will sue nintendo and sony for causing carpal tunel syndrome or smth maybe then they'll wake up.
