Is there any way to check to see if a code is valid without using it?

Uh yeah I'm pretty sure there's a confirmation screen.

Other than using it on an account that already registered the game, I don't think so.

I'll try right now since I'm going to download 3D Classics Kid Icarus now.

I've got an extra KH3D code anyone want to swap for another code?

So I just checked and you can! Go to Settings > Redeem Download Code.

Enter your code and it should load up the ESRB thing, then hit next.

Now here you should see what game you can download and the blocks required and stuff. Hit cancel here and it would be like you never used code.

How long does a Post Play survey come out?

IIRC, a week after registering (or purchased/downloaded off of eShop).

Boss Doggie · Mar 12, 2013

Ah I can wait then. I've learned to withhold registering to save coins.

isny · Mar 12, 2013

Geeze, at least I'm not on that list...yet...

Sorry I've never done this before. What do you mean "what game you can download"? I'm talking about the Club Nintendo codes for the coins that come out of a retail game's packaging. Is that what you're talking about?

Ohhhhhhhh, I totally misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about download codes you can get off Club Nintendo and see if they are valid on the 3DS. My bad. I don't think there is a way to check if the code is valid.

friskykillface · Mar 12, 2013

hmmmmm i had 3D kid icarus but when i traded my 3DS in for the xl promo i didn't have $200 on me so i just gave my 3DS and got 100 off the xl

so i am tempted to pick this up again.

Richie · Mar 12, 2013

Say fellas, I'm becoming quite the Coin Addict! Would it be possible to redeem Mario Tennis and Super Punch-Out on my Wii, then transfer them to Wii U and thus get the coins? Already did a system transfer before, and those two downloads don't overlap with anything I've got there. I wouldn't be losing anything in the process, right?

zroid · Mar 12, 2013

Oh, wow. I misunderstood too, apologies. :<

Yeah you can do unlimited Wii->Wii U system transfers, AFAIK

oatmeal · Mar 12, 2013

Wait you can do more than one Wii to Wii U?

Like...if you have more stuff, it will just copy the extra shit you don't have?!?

Fun fact: You can still order games from last month if you still have their page's URL. I just did it for Paper Mario.

I forgot I was supposed to snag a second code for this for my boss(technically a third, since I also gifted one to a GAFfer). You still have that URL? Is it still working? I PMed you.

teeg said:

I PMed you as well. Maybe we can work something out for your extra code.

NES Version.

Never played either so I really don't know the difference.

In light of the past, is there a chance the 3DS (18) card case will be offered again or is it gone forever?

Super was the sequel, on SNES. Both are really solid games, and very different overall.

That's pretty damn cool it still works. I wonder if any of the past ones also work? Did anyone on GAF save them by chance?

I'd be curious to know too. Paper Mario is the only one I had in my history...

So I just got my retail copy of Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate, and it has an insert for the Konami Core loyalty program and nothing for Club Nintendo, but the Club Nintendo website says it is supposed to be worth 40 coins. Did other people get a Club Nintendo insert with their retail copy, or is it a mistake that Club Nintendo says it's supposed to be worth 40 coins?

I got a CN code with my copy.

Got my 3DSXL back from Nintendo repairs today, and they exchanged it for a new one, complete with new serial code. Looks like I'll be participating in the free game promotion after all, muahaha.

Did you lose all your data and have a horrible meltdown like I did? I most over 300+ street passes, Hundreds of swap notes, my friends roster, and much more thanks to Nintendo repair

Nope. Looks like everything's still intact for me. Sorry to hear about that, though

iphys · Mar 12, 2013

Googled around and apparently people in Canada didn't get the Club Nintendo insert with Castlevania. Not sure who to blame: Nintendo for advertising it as being worth 40 coins when it's only the US copies that are, or Konami for not including the insert with the Canadian copies.

Had a feeling this was the reason. Probably Konami's fault, as you can always count on them to be completely inept at anything. I wouldn't be surprised if they simply believed Canada doesn't participate in the Club Nintendo program.

This happened to me with Kingdom Hearts 3ds. I bought 2 copies over the holidays and one copy had a club nintendo code and the other one didn't so I thought that was really odd.

I guess third parties are still learning, lol. My copy of KH did have a code, luckily.

Hmmm. May be worth calling Nintendo Support to see if they can get the coins onto your account, if you explain the situation. May not work, since games don't have unique serial numbers like systems, but worth a shot.

Did you get it from EB Games? They do re-sell used copies as new copies sometimes. I never experienced this, but I have read others who have had this happen.

Call up Nintendo. This happened to me as well (Wii game, I can't remember), but they asked for a number from the inside ring of the disc and credited my account. Keep in mind this was several years ago now, but still worth a shot.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but does anyone think any of the 3DS rewards are worth the coins?

Looks like most of their older rewards have static addresses, but they say the "Sorry" message. :-(

The Club Nintendo Spreadsheet has the item numbers for all the prior prizes, but none are active. This last bunch must have been a simple error.

Delicious Waffles · Mar 13, 2013

So I did one of those preorder surveys for the boxed copy of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on Club Nintendo yesterday. I was just wondering if you're supposed to see some sort of confirmation after you complete it. I clicked it again and I could take it again if I wanted to. Also, it's not there anymore. Just the downloadable version. Could that be confirmation? Just curious as I just discovered them yesterday.

Ondore · Mar 13, 2013

If it disappears from the list, then you're done. Did you miss the "Thank you" screen where the coins didn't increase?

Delicious Waffles · Mar 13, 2013

Thinking about it now, I might've missed it. As long as it went through, we're good. Thanks.

I was looking at that spreadsheet and didn't even realize that's what that was. Thanks!

This one is returning the "Sorry!" message now. I shoulda snagged it the other day. Anyone have an extra paper mario code for trade?
