Perhaps is because the 3DS has sold more than the XL model (as well as the 2DS) and there are people who have never registered their codes (like a couple of friends of mine, thankfully, lol).The catch makes no sense. 2DS is the cheapest model so it's not like they stand to gain more money by excluding 3DS.
regular 3ds doesnt exit anymore as far as nintendo is concerned
current 1 rev 3ds owners as well as new owners will continue to get screwed by them
And I'm going to guess you can only get one of the two even if you have 2 XL codes and 2 codes of those games, right?
There was one a few months ago for Super Mario 3D Land, and Pokémon was among the games that qualified for the Mario download.is there a similar offer in europe by any chance?
