You monster.
Don't give up hope.
I also registered Fire Emblem too. :.(

Gotta print off those Reggie bed sheets.
It's in the eShop.
Holy damn. I'm buying it digitally now since Dream Team is out next month.

I've already got fire emblem so if this was true I'd be set after I get SMTIV =D

Well I'm crossing my fingers. I don't see how hard it is for it to detect that you have it registered on your account.
Last year you could pick a digital download from the eShop from a list.
Last year you could choose a digital game download or a calendar. I chose Majora's Mask over the calendar.

If they did make it retroactive and included retail, I'd probably buy SMT to get the promo credit (already bought and reg'ed FE at retail).

Oh I'm sure it would be super easy for them. The question is whether or not they want to keep the money that you already gave them (the 'early-adopter' fee, you could call it).
But yeah, I hope it works out for everyone.

I'm going to be miffed if registering my Fire Emblem code a week ago counts me out of whatever this deal is.

Same. It's been much longer than a week for me. I think I got it maybe a week after it came out. I just hope it knows.
Yeah I was gonna check for myself but eshop is down right now.
I got the physical version of FE:A on release and I'm doing the same for SMT4, so in the likely scenario that it's digital-only or not retroactive then it's meaningless to me. But 30 bucks for nothing would be nice for sure.
Also on the subject of SMT4, it'd be really stupid if it was $50 on the eshop. Wasn't their reasoning for the price tag the large cart size and all the extra crap it comes with in the retail box?

50$ is the eShop price of it, and they never gave a reason for the premium price tag.
Weird to see all these bundling discounts on the eShop. You don't really even see that kind of promotion on PSN.
Same situation here. That would be fucking amazing if retail qualifies. The best part is I have SMT4 pre-ordered for a meagre $33 thanks to E3 dealz.

If it's $50 on the eShop then it's certainly to keep retailers happy since Atlus can't afford to undercut retailers - maybe in the short term but in the long run it'd kill them. :/
Fingers crossed for Majora's Mask on the 3DS as a Platinum reward.
Why are you doing this to yourself?

I imagine we'll get something Luigi related, this being his year and all.

Well, last year was the Legend of Zelda's 25th Anniversary and there wasn't a Zelda related gift other than the option of getting Majora's Mask for VC.

My prediction:
Platinum: Pikmin patch collection with some sort of error in the artwork
Gold: Calendar

Remember, guys, this is a Club Nintendo promotion. That means that this is probably a "Register two CN codes and get a $30 voucher" deal. We'll see, but I won't be surprised if I'm right.

I am honestly baffled that anybody thinks it will be $30 per game. It's be: buy both (physical or digital) and get $30 in eShop credit.
I'm expecting nothing special from the Club Nintendo rewards. Maybe an eShop voucher for $10 if we're lucky.

no offense, but your two singular statements make NO SENSE when combined. if anything, the fact that both versions (digital and retail) are $50 leads one more to believe that it IS physical or digital.
my honest belief is that this will unquestionably be digital AND physical. the only real question that exists is: what is the buying time line for FE:A? If people who bought it at release are screwed, that would kind of stink.

I actually got one in a 4-person draw at the Best Buy event, one of the others gave me a ticket when they weren't giving out anymore, I even offered a toonie ($2) as my way of saying thanks (he kindly didn't accept).

I think the poster means that Nintendo is offering this to people who decide to go digital since they won't get all the cool extras in the box copy.
It's the Club Nintendo element which leads me to believe this might be true, but just in light of how unbelievably good the deal is it if includes retail, I'm skeptical. Besides, there have been Club Nintendo promotions for digital purchases before. The Donkey Kong one, for example.
Dangit, just caved and got Donkey Kong for 100 coins, and can't redeem because of maintenance!
This is really putting the brakes on my impulse decision. =(
Don't ya hate it when you finally decide to get something and then can't for some reason? Store's closed, out of stock... Maintenance.
