Nintendo : buy Mario Kart 8 on the eShop or retail, get a free game

In the uk bought digital mk8 last night just after midnight, club nintendo said game was registered on 29th

Just type the code from the receipt as if registering retail disc and then the banner for free game has come up for me.. going to finally get mh3u!
 
I managed to get The Wind Waker HD last night. Two HD games for $60 isn't too bad. I probably won't play it for a while though. I still need to finish MK, Tropical Freeze, and Pikmin 3 first (not to mention all the Steam games in my backlog) before starting TWW, though.
 
Decided to get Pikmin 3, it was between that and Sonic Lost World. Downloading now. Registered yesterday so I was relieved when I saw the banner earlier.
 
Probably getting either Pikmin or Mario Wii U (though I'd rather have them physical).

Everyone should totally get W101 though if they haven't played it. Awesome game.
 
Sorry if for being a little stupid. But how do I register the eshop game? Where are the numbers I have to enter?
 
What to choose. I've already got:-

Nintendoland
Pikmin 3
Windwaker
Sonic Lost World

I didn't like the Wonder 101 or the Monster Hunter demos.
 
Not sure if this is the best place to ask but where's the best place to sell your code if you have no plans of downloading any of the games?
 
NA account here.

GAF, help me not to get Wii Party U

I already have NSMBU and Wind Waker on Gamecube (and a gamecube player wii)
 
Sorry if for being a little stupid. But how do I register the eshop game? Where are the numbers I have to enter?

1 - For a physical copy of Mario Kart the code is the Club Nintendo leaflet found in the box.
- For a digital copy of Mario Kart the club Nintendo code can be found under eshop menu -> Account Activity -> View Receipt

2 - (If you don't already have one) Make a Club Nintendo account at http://www.nintendo.com/countryselector for your region.

3 - Register the game code on the Club Nintendo site and a banner will pop up offering you your choice of game.

4 - Enter the newly received game code on the eshop page on your wii u
 
That eshop purchase stung a little due to the crappy Canadian dollar.. $73.44. I really want Wind Waker HD and also Pikmin 3. I think I'll go with P3 just due to the higher MSRP and hope WW goes on sale soon.
 
Can I register more than one MK8 code on Club Nintendo?

nope... you can, but you wouldn't get the coins or the free game for the other CN codes after the first, you can however make another account under a family account, there it works for the coins and the free game too..
 
Pikmin 3 and W101 were GotY last year, although W101 was the overall holder for being more compact control wise, compared to Pikmin 3 which needed a Wiimote + setup for the 'true' experience. But now with the stylus update, Pikmin 3 is more accessible than ever, but manages not to decrease from the overall experience, unless you're left handed. The choice then comes down to what you see yourself playing more, a hardcore beat'em up, that never let's up unless you play on easy mode while always requiring your best, or a laid back RTS that can be played at your leisure, which also promotes multi-tasking if you're into that.
 
Has anyone here with a family tried Wii Party U?

Yes, played this quite a bit with my nephews and nieces. There is a good mixture of mini games that keep things interesting and there wasn't too many stinkers. If you already have 4 wiimotes then I'd recommend picking it up.

I can do only one family account under the main one right?
 
I forgot to link my console before I bought Mario Kart 8 last night. So it seems I haven't gotten my free game code yet in my "To Do List" on Club Nintendo. Hoping it will appear there soon. Anyone get this download code with the digital release?
 
If anybody interested in any one of the four options, PM me! PayPal transaction only!

$30

Can get it to you tonight, after 6:30 PM EST
 
I got the offer immediately after logging into Club Nintendo an hour or so after purchase.

I'm considering selling my code, as I've already got WW, Mario and Pikmin. Not sure if Wii U Party is worth holding on to.
 
I was wondering about that. I'm seriously considering it.

Do it. The game is free anyway, and it seems like you already have all of the games that you truly want from this promotion. So if you don't like the game, you got it for free, so you didn't really lose anything. And there's the chance you fall in love with it.

But seriously, I'm at the point that any game I choose from this promotion is whatever for me, since I get a free game regardless, so I can't complain. I say W101
 
What to choose. I've already got:-

Nintendoland
Pikmin 3
Windwaker
Sonic Lost World

I didn't like the Wonder 101 or the Monster Hunter demos.

Didn't you buy it with your son's birthday money or something? So it's his free game really ;) let him choose.

I don't know either. Think my choice is between sonic and G&W. Or just sell the code
 
Nintendo has been known to delete the extra games from abuse of the system. Someone did that with the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem promotion where they gave you $30 for registering it both. I would be careful of that...

That was a different kind of situation, though.

I have
5
MK8 codes.

Should I just redeem them like once a week so it won't look suspicious?

yeah, that is what I want to knowf... I wouldn't want my games deleted...
 
the registration survey should appear automatically if you have your club nintendo account linked to the eshop

Thanks, got Wii Party U was on the fence between that and Pikmin 3 already have the other 2, but choose WPU. There are a lot of kids that come over and thought that they would enjoy WPU more.
 
Sigh, the European promotion is so much better than the NA one...I'm always in the wrong side of the planet regarding videogames it seems...
