NoA doing something awesome? the world is ending lol

Well, the world literally is about to end in the SMT games. Lol

 

[Yawnier]

Already bought and registered Fire Emblem months ago now, but this is still an enticing deal for SMT4 even if the game doesn't interest me all that much.

 

[brandonh83]

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

Agreed. I've been meaning to get Fire Emblem for a while now, and I've been interested in SMT4 but not wholly sold on it. This sells me on it. Even if I don't like it, I'll get $30 back.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

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

It's a code.

 

[brandnew]

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.

I believe it just ended at the end of June. But your coins carry over.

 

[suikodan]

Yeah! This is great! Already bought FE:A digital and SMT4 is already pre-ordered physically.

 

[Gartooth]

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

You get a code on the Club Nintendo website, then you register on a 3DS/Wii U or your choice and the $30 is stuck to that system.

 

[VariantX]

If this is the case then nintendo just practically gave me a free copy of dream team

 

[InsaneZero]

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

The directions clearly indicate that it's a redeem code.

I mean, the images alone are pretty clear here.

 

[sixteen-bit]

That's one way to justify SMT4's inflated price tag.

 

[mrjohill]

It should still qualify.

Oh ok thanks I was a bit worried

 

[BowieZ]

Edit: I think I misread this lol.

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

On your 3DS.*

Basically, don't lose your 3DS.

(*and future 3DSes if you do a complete system transfer.)

 

[A Link to the Past]

Well, then. $30 fucking dollars for me <3

 

[jbug617]

"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.

Thanks. Going to save the $30 for Ace Attorney.

 

[Ooccoo]

Register these, buy DKCR on the cheap. Me gusta

 

[Flamfas]

That's one way to justify SMT4's inflated price tag.

did you see everything that comes with it?

The only thing that is crazy is if they are charging $50 for the eshop version

 

[Snowden's Secret]

This is realistically how Nintendo should be promoting third party games.

"Buy New Super Mario Bros U + Rayman Legends, get $30 in eShop credit" (which is then spent on digital goods at no cost to Nintendo.

"Buy Call of Duty + Wii U Pro Controller, get $20 in eShop credit"

Basically, you are saying, "Buy this third party game along with the first party game you were going to buy anyway, get some more first party content for free!"

 

[dancrane212]

Works for retail AND eShop copies of both games

This is fantastic. Got SMT 4 for $33 from the E3 promo at Futureshop, it nearly pays for itself!

 

[SteeloDMZ]

That's one way to justify SMT4's inflated price tag.

No.

 

[Toki767]

Well this'll be the first nice promotion Nintendo of America has run in a long time.

 

[khaaan]

I believe it just ended at the end of June. But your coins carry over.

Thanks! should have clarified a bit though, I'm already at Platinum status and I didn't want to add coins that weren't going to count towards something. I have an unregistered 3DS XL, 4 3DS games and a few others.

 

[Quixzlizx]

I was going to buy SMT4 anyway, so this is pretty awesome. I guess I'll buy a bunch of FE:A DLC now.

 

[Zierath]

Nice to get credit for two games I'd have bought anyway.

 

[Zonic]

Holy crap, I've been meaning to get FE:A one of these days. This is the perfect deal, especially since I've got $25 in GS credit. I'll pick it up when I get my SMT4 pre-order.

Think I'll use the $30 on AA5 and/or some VC titles.

 

[dakkumauji]

Think of all the DLC I can buy!

 

[Malvingt2]

This is realistically how Nintendo should be promoting third party games.

"Buy New Super Mario Bros U + Rayman Legends, get $30 in eShop credit" (which is then spent on digital goods at no cost to Nintendo.

I like this idea...

 

[blurrygil]

I would imagine this would work if you have already registered the game, as that information is saved in your CN account. This would be the same whether you bought the game physically or digitally. Once you register the games (and of course, ensure your CN is registered to your system) and complete your surveys, you're all good.

Now to get me some Shin Megami Tensei!!! :-D

 

[GameE]

Finally NOA does something good like NOE

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

This is a pleasant Bought Fire Emblem, Haven't inputted the code, and have SMT IV pre-ordered. The hard part is decided whether to put the credit on my 3DS or WiiU.

 

[Jotamide]

Oh shit. I'll check whether I can un-cancel my SMT IV preorder. :S

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Was already going to get SMT IV anyway so this works out quite well. Physical seems like the best bet because of neat packaging. Got FE a few weeks ago on Eshop since physical copies have been eluding me. I guess since it's in the Club Nintendo system I will be fine. Gonna pick up either DKCR 3D or a bunch of NES&GB games. Either sounds quite nice!

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Has this been cleared up yet, whether my Day 1 Fire Emblem purchase counts towards this? It doesn't have to be a newly registered code does it?

 

[Ponn]

The directions clearly indicate that it's a redeem code.

I mean, the images alone are pretty clear here.

Oh i see now. When i first clicked on thread only the first pic loaded.

 

[Gartooth]

I would have put the credit on my Wii U, but I already bought New Super Luigi U and there isn't much coming on the eShop for a while that I want. Probably going to keep it on my 3DS and use it towards Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies when it comes out.

 

[Drago]

Didn't plan on buying SMT4 but now I may. Still unsure.

I can basically get Pokémon Y or Ace Attorney free with credit... decisions decisions

 

[Coffee Dog]

Oh shit. I was on the fence for getting SMT4 now or later, guess it's now. Thanks NoA!

 

[Shadowninja100]

Well since officialy works for this deal I'll be picking up Fire Emblem when I go get SMT IV next week.

 

[zroid]

Well this'll be the first nice promotion Nintendo of America has run in a long time.

Eh, the 3DS XL free game thing was pretty good. Even though it was a half-assed version of Europe's same promo.

 

[Dicer]

Pretty damned sweet deal...

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Has this been cleared up yet, whether my Day 1 Fire Emblem purchase counts towards this? It doesn't have to be a newly registered code does it?

You are good to go.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

*pre-orders smt iv*

 

[……forgetit]

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

You probably get a code that you can use on your system of choice, Wii U or 3ds.

 

[Soriku]

Great deal, too bad I'm not getting FE yet...

 

[Mpl90]

SMTIV, you're destined to be the best selling chapter in US for the franchise, then. There are around 300k people who bought already Fire Emblem: Awakening, even 1/3 of them is enough. Go!

 

[javac]

That's one way to justify SMT4's inflated price tag.

It comes with...

A 176-page Strategy & Design Book that includes the official starter strategy guide and full-color artwork ranging from concept art to in-game pieces to never-used designs from the new Shin Megami Tensei series character designer, Masayuki Doi. (Not available for separate retail sales)

The Shin Megami Tensei Music Collection CD that offers a collection of tracks specially selected from across the 20-plus-year history of the SMT series

A deluxe-sized Collectible Slipcase featuring key art designed by Masayuki Doi.

So how about no?

 

[Garou]

This is realistically how Nintendo should be promoting third party games.

"Buy New Super Mario Bros U + Rayman Legends, get $30 in eShop credit" (which is then spent on digital goods at no cost to Nintendo.

Basically, you are saying, "Buy this third party game along with the first party game you were going to buy anyway, get some more first party content for free!"

Digital goods are not free for Nintendo, 3rd parties expect of course their margin for every copy sold.

 

[Javier]

FUCK YES.

And up to August 31st? That's more than enough time for me to get SMT4. Awesome promotion.

Also, the rules state "Register before 08/31". That clearly implies already registered copies of FE:A count.

 

[Hellraider]

NoE promoting MH3U, NoA promoting SMT:IV.It feels so good when this happens for games that actually deserve it.

Get this game people!

 

[Beelzebub]

I'm quite sure if they would specify if it has to be registered within a time period.. this is awesome!!! can't decide what I'll download

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Didn't plan on buying SMT4 but now I may. Still unsure.

I can basically get Pokémon Y or Ace Attorney free with credit... decisions decisions

Pokemon seems like it lends itself to digital download better...
