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

Not sure if I'm going to use my code to get Wind Waker (already played and beat it ages ago on GC) or just sell it. Wind Waker is tempting, and I want to play it again... but not sure if I have the time or the energy to finish it if I do.

Has anyone tried registering a digital and physical copy of Mario Kart 8 yet?

Do you get 2 free games if you do or does the first copy lock you out of the promotion?

I doubt they will let you do that. It's just one free game per account. If you want another, you need to create another account.

PS. This is basically the same with their previous promo. It's always just one per account even if you have sub-account.

one per club nintendo account
so create a sub/family account to redeem your second physical retail code to get one more free game

Windwaker hd is 4x more beautiful than GC.

Or just get pikmin 3 / wonderful 101.

Would get W101 in a blink of an eye, but not on the NA selection.


I have a weird relationship with Pikmin and my wiiu is mostly used when there are people at home

If it is about not liking pikmin 1 and 2 i am in the same boat did not like them that much but i really loved 3 it is kinda like the pikmin formula perfected.

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..

Can I make a new Club Nintendo account, get the download code and download the free game with my main NNID afterwards?

Damn it! I accidentally closed out of my window when I attempted to print out my confirmation page. Now I must wait for my email before I can download Wind Waker HD. :-(

I got my W101 code (sold the disc version), redeemed it and the Wii U says I don't have enough space, even though I've got a nearly empty USB HDD. Mario Kart 8 downloaded to that USB storage earlier!

I'm moving some stuff to the USB now, so I'll have enough room on the internal storage, but has this happened to anyone else?

Keeps saying that there was a problem when I try to "order" Windwaker HD.

Edit: nm, got it to finally work.

Wait, North America doesn't get Wonderful 101? The OP just lists Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros U, Wind Waker, and Wii Party U. Such bs.

Someone please correct me and tell me it's going to be okay.

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?

You got a digital copy right? You will have to contact nintendo support for that one, similar thing happened to me with the "$30 if you buy FE and SMT".

Word, yeah I sent them a customer support email about it so they can resolve it. They should've made that linking notice more clear.
 
I filled out my survey but I didn't complete it and CN went down. I go back on and I get Wii Party U. I then go back to try and complete the survey and it still is telling me to redeem a game. I try to pick a second one but it went down.

I jusf wantes Wii Party U and my coins...
 
Pikmin 3 is so much better for me with the new stylus controls, just started new game. I recommend the game.
Though I also recommend zelda ww hd, W101 and then just chose MH3U which I also already know I like.

I thought I would need to wait a few days before I got my download code, but Nintendo is having none of that stuff. I registered my MK8 today, got my Wind Waker HD right away. Punched it in, downloaded it in half an hour and boom. Playing The Wind Waker HD. Amazing.

Can someone with a japanese MK8 help me out? .
So i downloaded the game, then i did the survey and then i register the pin code.
After that the system downloads a Star icon, but when i open it only shows me the promo banner.
What im i doing wrong and where can i donload the 2 games for the promo?

seconded, anyone with advice?

Not much of a choice for me.

Nintendo Land and Game & Wario are around £15, usually less. I have Wii Party U, NSMBU, Pikmin 3 and W101. Didn't like Monster Hunter, nor Sonic Lost World. M&S Olympics is trash so all that's left is Wind Waker even though I've played a good chunk of the GC version (I gave up on the Triforce Quest).

LOL. I clicked on the button selecting Pikmin 3. Next screen was the maintenance one !

Well I'm sure my code will be somewhere where I can get to it...
