- Works for retail AND eShop copies of both games

- One $30 redemption per Club Nintendo member

- $30 can be redeemed on either 3DS or Wii U eShops

Update:

We now have confirmation that previous registrations of Fire Emblem do count toward this promotion. Thanks to Skelter for emailing Nintendo.

Everyone asking about whether its retroactive I finally have confirmation!

Asked Nintendo support. I bought Fire Emblem on launch so this is great to know.

...you will be happy to know that your previous registration of Fire Emblem Awakening should count toward your eligibility...

[Bullza2o]

YES!! I've been 50/50 buying SMTIV, but now I'm definitely buying it!

 

[brandonh83]

This rocks.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Sounds like it works with retail purchases. If so, this is a fantastic deal.

You should be buying both games anyway.

 

[Gartooth]

This tipped me over the edge, definitely getting Shin Megami Tensei IV on release.

 

[daxgame]

damn. Please NOE!

 

[Korosenai]

I dont like buying games digitally, but if I end up getting $30 im definitely gonna just go ahead and buy Ace Attorney. Thanks NOA.

 

[-Eddman-]

Such bullshit that mexican consumers can't even get the online rewards

This sounds awesome.

 

[MikeE21286]

awesome!!!

 

[Einbroch]

Fantastic deal (really, it's basically B2G1), but until they implement an account system I'm afraid I'll pass.

But those seem like two really excellent games (FE definitely is).

 

[JawesomeJaw]

The million dollar (or I guess thirty dollar) question is if this works on already registered copies of Awakening. It seems like it should.

 

[Black Door]

CN finally delivers on something other than tchotchkes

 

[A Link to the Past]

So, I can only assume that those of us who already registered FE:A are left out in the cold. :<

 

[BlackJace]

Fuck, I bought FE digitally.

 

[Clov]

Do you have to register both at once, or will it still apply if you registered Fire Emblem when it came out?

 

[Hattori]

Sweet. There must be something going down with SMT x FE soon for them to do this.

 

[Akey]

You get a code with the retail box so it should work with retail also. The 30 dollars can only be used on the e-shop though. I need to pick up some vc games anyway. I would also assume it means any copy registered before also since it has before and not between a certain date.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Fucking awesome. Everybody who got Fire Emblem, now get into the awesome SMT franchise!

Everybody who didn't get the GOTY FE Awakening, get it now!

 

[brinstar]

goddamn. can I use this on Wii U? I might put that and my deluxe points towards pikmin 3

 

[jbug617]

If this works with retail I will be very happy.

Edit: I just registered Fire Emblem a couple of days ago. Will I be left out?

 

[Frost_Ace]

Fuck, I bought FE digitally.

it works with digital copies too.

 

[A Human Becoming]

So, I can only assume that those of us who already registered FE:A are left out in the cold. :<

That's what I figured.

 

[Off-Kilter]

What happens if I registered FE before this promo? That still counts, right?

 

[Kincaido]

Better work with codes that are already registered.

 

[Gartooth]

Anyone know if the credit can be used on Wii U, or is it 3DS only? (stupid lack of an account system)

Edit: Found out that the $30 credit can be used on either 3DS or the Wii U.

 

[mrjohill]

I just registered fe:a last Thursday... Gah

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Yes! Awesome promotion, I'll save my credit for Ace Attorney.

 

[InsaneZero]

Fuck, I bought FE digitally.

Club Nintendo-linked 3DS systems register downloaded titles automatically.

Edit: Why are people assuming that games registered prior to this offer don't count?

 

[Kifimbo]

Does it work if you already registered FEA ?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

So, I can only assume that those of us who already registered FE:A are left out in the cold. :<

There are no exclusions on the page. I recall there were some on the 3DSXL + Luigi's Mansion deal.

 

[BlackJace]

it works with digital copies too.

How?

 

[brandonh83]

Do you have to register both at once, or will it still apply if you registered Fire Emblem when it came out?

It just says register both by 8/31, don't think it matters when you register them. I think it would have clarified otherwise.

It doesn't say register these games between (date) and (date).

 

[Diddy Kong]

I just registered fe:a last Thursday... Gah

It should still qualify.

 

[Marcel]

The million dollar (or I guess thirty dollar) question is if this works on already registered copies of Awakening. It seems like it should.

There's a thing at the bottom of the page linked in the OP that says this:

If you purchased the Fire Emblem: Awakening hardware bundle, you must link your Nintendo 3DS system to your Club Nintendo account and complete the registration survey for Shin Megami Tensei IV to qualify for the promotion.

Since you can't get the Awakening system anymore, isn't the implication that a previously registered copy will work for the promotion?

 

[PreyingShark]

How?

You just link it to your CN account and voila. You might need to call Nintendo if it's not already linked, though.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

It shouldn't matter if you already registered FEA prior to this.

 

[sensui-tomo]

How?

if you were linked to club nintendo when you bought the digital game you got the club nintendo game automatically done IF you did that review thingy for the coins.. if you skipped it ... well <_<"

 

[Malvingt2]

NoA doing something awesome? the world is ending lol

 

[EleventhDoctor]

It just says register both by 8/31, don't think it matters when you register them. I think it would have clarified otherwise.

It doesn't say register these games between (date) and (date).

Completely awesome if true. This is the deal of the century!

 

[Flamfas]

SURPRISE! This is what SMT x FE is, the $30 credit. Please be excited.

 

[JoseDFrog]

free money for games i already own or have pre-ordered!!! sure

 

[NathanMcMahon]

Does it work if you already registered FEA ?

Yeah, wondering about this as well.

 

[backlot]

Does it work if you already registered FEA ?

It better. I'd like to see a confirmation one way or the other before I buy SMT.

 

[StarCreator]

Fuck, I bought FE digitally.

You're OK if you bought the game after having established a Club Nintendo link, AND didn't let the registration survey expire. If either of these has happened, try contacting support, they might reinstate the survey for you.

 

[BlackJace]

You just link it to your CN account and voila. You might need to call Nintendo if it's not already linked, though.

if you were linked to club nintendo when you bought the digital game you got the club nintendo game automatically done IF you did that review thingy for the coins.. if you skipped it ... well <_<"

Thanks, not sure if I'm linked.

 

[khaaan]

Has the club Nintendo year ended yet? I've held off of registering a bunch of games so I don't waste coins but this is tempting.

 

[brandnew]

Time to finally bite on FE.

SMTIV looks interesting too, but it's hard to tell if I would enjoy the story. It seems like it's the main draw for people, but I don't think the premise seems that great.

 

[Calamari41]

Well this is a good way to tip people like me over the edge of the fence

 

[Ponn]

With no acct system where exactly does the credit show up?

 

[BowieZ]

"Register by..." indicates there is no start date for this deal.

Punishing everyone who loyally purchased FE already and contributed to its moderate success seems a tad unfair.

And the digital credit costs Nintendo almost nothing and will probably promote many future digital purchases anyway.
