Yeah those were my next two choices, but I wouldn't have the patience for Pikmin, and the W101 demo did absolutely nothing for me.
Was Sonic any good at all?

Got my code for Monster Hunter only a few minutes after registering, it appeared on the site itself in a nice big banner. I didn't get and still don't have an email. No issues at all, although the site is very slow, which is understandable.
Better.
I'll vouch for Sonic Lost World. It's fast, gorgeous, and spectacular. But it's very difficult, and the parkour system is tricky to figure out at first. It's also a little rough around the edges, and feels incomplete. Very divisive title, but it's true to Sonic's roots and is up there with his best adventures imo.

Uh oh. Does the code get emailed out? Just tried to claim Monster Hunter on mine, went through fine, but it timed out when you click the "Claim this Game" button. Tried it again and said that I'd already participated in the promotion, and its not showing a code.
Edit: Never mind, found the code on the front page!

Man,I'm surprised at how smooth this was. I bought the game last night before going to bed, logged into club Nintendo this morning and a notification popped up. Got my code and started downloading the game in less than five minutes. I'm shocked Nintendo didn't fuck this up somehow.
Hmmm, that's something I hadn't considered. Maybe.

Just selected and redeemed the code for Pikmin 3 - no issues at all.
Answer: Bingo Battle. Single-player's nothing special, but get a few friends over and it's magic.

Pretty much
Quoting myself from earlier if anyone has any opinion.
Why? They done promotions like this a few times and it's always gone smooth for me. Club Nintendo and the DDP are vastly underrated.

Thats good news considering how Sony made it incredibly difficult to redeem your free welcome back games.
Sonic it will be! Thanks!

Guys, please help me decide.
I have almost all the games in the EU promo so I have to decide between Game & Wario or Sonic Lost World.
I love the Wario Ware series, but apparently Game & Wario falls flat compared to the last entries, so I'm a bit cautious.
The last Sonic game I played was Sonic & the Secret Rings (which I actually liked, although I know it has a bad rep here at GAF), yet I am kind of drawn to t he game not only because it looks like a good Sonic game but also because of th eYoshi and Zelda DLCs.
Mario & Sonic is right out. I'm not interested in it at all.
I have all the other games already.
Tell me, which game should I get?

Glad it's nice and easy for y'all :'(
Might try that code from the eShop anyway when I get home. Even if it comes up invalid, it might "prompt" it or something.
Game & Wario. The Gamer mini-game alone is fantastic as a freebie game and the closest thing to Wario Ware there is... With a twist!

Game & Wario is NOT a WarioWare game. That should make your choice a whole lot easier.

Could you elaborate? This statement alone doesn't really tell me why it'd make my choice easier.
I mean, it has the WW cast, doesn't it? Then what makes it different from the WW series?

Fronk Flinging and Pictionary, make it well worthwhile. Everything else about it is just icing on the garlicky cake.
For me it will be a toss-up between Monster Hunter and Sonic Lost World. I already got Monster Hunter for free on my 3DS, but have barely touched it. Not sure about Sonic as I've heard mixed things.
I hate making decisions, lol.
Aside from the one WarioWare like minigame that's in it, this game could not be further from the WarioWare universe. The game is not WarioWare. The minigames (again, except for one) are not WarioWare. I said it would make your choice easier because you said you're a fan of the WarioWare series, and I think you would be tremendously disappointed to find that there isn't a lot of WarioWare in Game & Wario.

And I just received my download code for NSMBU. For some reason I thought I wouldn't have to enter the code that I got on the Mario Kart 8 receipt because I'd linked my Club Nintendo and my NNID previously- MK8 showed up in my product registration history but I still had to enter the code manually to get the free game promotion banner to pop up.
I've got to say- this is one of the most generous promotions I've seen. For £49.99 I've got Mario Kart 8, a VC copy of Super Mario Kart and now a copy of NSMBU. And it's pushed me over the limit to get another £5 code for the eShop. Desperate Nintendo is definitely best Nintendo!

Okay then, Sonic it is. Thanks
Three awesome games in one day.
Super Mario Kart
Mario Kart 8
Sonic Lost World
EU-GAF, if you bought MK8 on eShop I really hope you bought SMK before it.
Having SMK purchased gives you 8€ back when you buy MK8, so basically you'd get SMK for free.

Everything about this is wrong (except the divisive part, obviously).
If you need to ask should I get game X or sonic lost world? Get game X.

Why don't you use your own?

For me it was down to Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3. NSMBU wasn't something I was interested it, Game and Wario seems like a waste to get as a free game compared to some of the others, not a Monster Hunter fan (gave the demo a go and couldn't get into it), don't want Wii U Party and I have all the rest.
Went with Pikmin 3 in the end as I've already played through Wind Waker on the GameCube and Pikmin 3 is something brand new.

EDIT: Too slow typing to be useful...
The gameplay is totally different. The signature warioware gameplay is the constant barrage of split-second microgames. Game and wario has a small selection of larger but still shallow minigames. It's just a completely different experience... Buying this to get more warioware would be like a person who loves rhythm heaven buying rock band, thinking it'll feel the same just because both involve music in some way.
The difference is that rock band is still at least a good game. Game& wario is a bundle of tech demos.

Pikmin 3 is awesome, but if you can find on the cheap, I highly recommend WW. Playing through that game in HD is a whole new experience, and it's fantastic.

Then I don't understand why'd you need a Canadian shipping address.
This and maybe I'm stupid.
