Club Nintendo EU: FREE retail game if you register your 3DS XL by Jan 15th

[DjoeN]

Damned, I just bought Layton in the store a few days ago :/
and Mario 3D Land I already have.

Ah, well I think I'll get Layton, the others really are not my kind of things, I can download the game on my 3DS XL and use the cartridge on my regular 3DS then (Or I could sell the code or cartridge)

 

[R2DJ]

Darn! I only have a regular 3DS.

 

[Chary]

Ugh. You lucky people.

 

[Armadillo]

How much GB-s is Mario Land 3D??

I'm guessing by GB-s you mean £ and are missing the symbol?

3D land is £29.99 online, £34.99 or so in stores and £39.99 on Eshop (I think)

No i mean space...

EDIT: I think i found it. 300 MB right?

Btw till when do i need to get the code?
I still dunno what to get. Mario Land or Prof Layton.

 

[Armadillo]

No i mean space...

According to here

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/10/file_sizes_revealed_for_3ds_eshop_retail_downloads

512MB.

 

[Chary]

Mario 3D land is ~500MB

Ohh...someone beat me to the answer.

512MB.

Ohh thanks.
I found that a rom dump is 310 MB.
Well it seems the 201 MB is just there to fill up the space.

If I was in Europe and had a 3DS XL instead of a regular 3DS.

 

[Skelletonike]

so Americans are out?
So say if I used tunnelbear to mask me like I was from uk, could I register my us 3ds?

It won't work, the codes are different obviously, Europeans have their own region code, whereas Japanese and Americans have their own region codes, all regions have distinct does so even if you register on the website, it wouldn't work.


And well, seeing as Europeans pay way more than Americans for the console, 200€ = 256$ whereas 200$ = 155€ this is only welcome, and the extra spent money would be worth it. xP

Anyway, this would only work in the US if you do own an European console, otherwise you need to wait for NoA to make a similar offer, which they'll probably do soon after this.

Not just hardware, the EU eshop is more expensive compared to the NA eshop too, they seem to convert the price and then round up.

 

[Clydefrosch]

This would be all fine and dandy if the games list was... well... different.

I'm willing to wager than anyone even remotely interested in the 3DS already has Super Mario 3D, which leaves you with Layton - an admittedly good game, but also likely to be in a gamer's possession already, and three stinkers... but hey! It's free, so who's complaining?

well, seeing as the whole thing is most likely meant to make people buy new consoles for christmas, this really isnt a problem.
however, they better air some kind of commercial to promote that step, otherwise, how'd people know they get a free game after new years?

Yeah, but that's normal for any console in Europe

 

[The Milkman]

COME ON, NINTENDO! I BOUGHT ONE FOR 250 AND GOT GBA VC!!

 

[Deleted-188346]

Not cool. Technically Australia has EU 3DS's but we're not included.
Lame.

I live in the EU/Nordic countries and we're not included in Club Nintendo. :3

 

[McHaggis]

I, er... *ahem* acquired a code last night... gone for Art Academy

You actually recieved the code or you applied for one?

I've applied for an Art Academy code, the code I acquired was a 3DS XL CN points code... Might try and acquire some more ;-)

What information is required when creating the Club Nintendo account? I have 3DS XL but live in Finland that is not included in this offer for some reason. If my friend who lives in UK registers my 3DS, will I be able to download the game here in Finland to my 3DS?
