Hacking Eshop Generators? Care to explain?

oh @Wintendows if it works, send a screenshot so we don't start accusing you of lying...

If you try it on a different account it will always be paired to that account. I don't know about you but I find having a vestigal account to be annoying. I used my real name for my user ID then only after making a bunch of purchases realized that might be a bad idea. I got over it because I was tired of that little banker Mii wandering around my Plaza.

I'd say trying it on your account would be fine. It's just a short character string, it's literally impossible for that to contain malware. If someone purchases a game card that had the same code then when they complain to Nintendo they will just re-issue them a new code. Worst case scenario is that they retroactively void your license (if that's even possible), in which case you're just back to where you were before you used the code - and you can choose to re-buy the game if you want to continue.

it's possible that if you used several generated codes Nintendo would block you, but there's no precedent - and still no proof that a code generator would actually work.

Wait, it can't be that simple, right? I could call Nintendo right now, make up a code, and they would give me a new un-used code for free. If this is the case, someone needs to do something.

That's not how it works. They won't give you a new code without physical proof. Like a receipt and card or something.

It is that simple, but first Nintendo needs to be sure that you give them the number of the card that supposedly has been used before so that they can check, and then, if they approve it, they will give you a new code.

Oh boy this thread takes me back to when I used to hunt all over the internet for code generators

Same... We all did.

I once was overzealous in scratching a card and scratched some of the numbers off. I called Nintendo and read off what I could along with a bunch of random numbers elsewhere on the card, and scanned and emailed them pictures of the front and back. I don't remember if I needed a receipt, as it was given as a gift. That's all I had to do and then they gave me a new code and invalidated the old one.

Nintendo would most likely make you go through the same song and dance. I don't know what happens to the original code if it has been used already. Maybe they let it slide, maybe they remotely invalidate the purchase. I don't know. but I doubt they will ban or brick your console just for one code.


That being said, I want to see the exe myself. If your friend tries to charge you money for the copy then it's a fake, otherwise zip it and mail it to us. Or ask for codes for 1,2, Switch and Street Fighter and pm them to me, your choice.

@Wintendows I would like the same treatment as this guy.

Also @Futurdreamz I did this for my MK7 2DS bundle. They have procedures and criteria you need to meet otherwise it won't work out.

sounds like someone already went to the store copied the numbers from a bunch of nintendo cards and attempts to activate them daily in hopes someone buys them . . . under the guise of its a victim-less crime

Wouldn't somebody have to scratch the stuff though?
