    Cool :D I will be getting my Zelda 3DSXL this saturday and will buy Pokemon Y for my sister (also have Layton coming for xmas =) )

    • MasterNoob on 20/11/2013 - 09:56

      I'm getting the Zelda 3DS XL as well! I've never played Zelda before so I wasn't too sure about paying a $270 premium for an LE console and ALBW, but with this Mario deal, I'm a bit more satisfied with my purchase.

      • wonderboy on 20/11/2013 - 10:01

        Promo starts Nov 27. Hold off registering it for a week.

        • redpump on 20/11/2013 - 11:34

          Hold up, just re-reading that promo again. I already have a 3DS(OG), can I register my new 3DSXL and game to the same Club account and still get the free SM 3D Land Game? Or do I need to create a new club account?

        • Dangit on 20/11/2013 - 11:37

          Just to confirm if i'm on the right track,
          For those who are buying the ZELDA 3DSXL special console that comes with the game wont be able to register their console + game till the promotion starts which means they wont be able to play LOZ:ALTBW till the 27th In order to get Mario 3d land for free?
          Is that right?

        • chir0nex on 20/11/2013 - 12:03

          No, that's not correct.

          It will not work if you did not purchase your 3DS and Game in the regions mentioned.

          AU Nintendo Club codes are different to their ones.

        • imket on 20/11/2013 - 12:09

          that's not a reason to neg. people buy ds from amazon and other imports. this will allow them to consider importing

        • Dangit on 20/11/2013 - 12:09

          But it says Australia?

        • imket on 20/11/2013 - 12:13

          it says if you resident in Australia, doesnt say from a local store in AU.

          This can only be redeemed if you buy a UK console!! it states in the TC "You must have registered two products: (i) a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system (European version; Nintendo 2DS excluded)"

          European consoles are not sold in AU stores like dicksmith or big W. AU sells their own AU version which uses a different nintendo club codes ( the cards look different too)

        • Luminary on 20/11/2013 - 12:14

          You don't have to register the game/console to use/play it. I bought a game a year ago and only registered it a few weeks ago.

        • Dangit on 20/11/2013 - 12:33

          Yea but the game that comes with this console is a downloadable game so I would assume you will need to register the code before you can download it

        • Luminary on 20/11/2013 - 13:43

          Oh, right. Not sure if the download code is separate for the Nintendo Club points.

        • Agret on 21/11/2013 - 09:50

          Edit: nevermind, was posted already

        • eternalcakes on 22/11/2013 - 14:45
          +1

          They've either changed the TC or you were reading from the UK site. It now says:

          "You must have registered two products distributed by the Promoter in Australia or New Zealand: (i) a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system (Nintendo 2DS excluded"

          So if you've bought an Aus 3ds, it will still work with this promotion.

        • redpump on 26/11/2013 - 16:52

          Yeah the link was to the UK site previously. Looks like Nintendo AU finally cottoned on to the promo! 2 days to go :D

  • turbo77 on 20/11/2013 - 09:58

    so this is a no go for 2ds owners?

    But I already own it ? D: Wish they had other games to choose from.

    • MasterNoob on 20/11/2013 - 10:14

      They are using the game to promote Super Mario 3D World.

    • theguyrules on 20/11/2013 - 11:27

      Yeah same! I've had it for ages. GAH.

      Maybe I can sell the code for something I want like MH3U.

  • Ventak on 20/11/2013 - 10:12

    Nice….guess I'll have to make a 2nd Club Nintendo account for my bro's 3DS XL…

    So How will this work for existing 3DS / Club Nintendo members?

    I have a 3DS XL that will be doing a system transfer to my zelda 3ds XL. do I need to hold this off untill the 27th?

    • wonderboy on 20/11/2013 - 10:52

      Just don't register the new 3ds, not really sure but I think you can't register 2 of the same systems. I don't know if the zelda 3ds xl will be any different than a normal 3ds xl.

  • JayCeeJay on 20/11/2013 - 10:42

        Some people like Pokemon, others like Mario. You should have seen the sheer number of Gumtree 3DS wanted listings just before/after the release of Pokemon X/Y…

  • amberstyre on 20/11/2013 - 11:08

    If I bought my 3DS in Canada… will I still be able to use this?

    • Ventak on 20/11/2013 - 11:34

      Don't think so, considering that the consoles are region locked.

      • amberstyre on 20/11/2013 - 11:40

        Oh :( Wonder if there is a promo for the US then… anyone know how to find out?

  • imket on 20/11/2013 - 11:14

    don't get your hopes high guys. from my knowledge. this only works if you buy a uk 3ds console. all 3ds bought in au go under the au Nintendo club (which gives hardly any promotion). if you want this deal u need to import a ds from amazon or something. those bought in stores won't count

    • imket on 20/11/2013 - 11:17

      I'm pretty sure of this now as it says in the TC you need a european version of the console.
      ps: you'll also need a uk version of the game

      • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2013 - 11:32

        The T&C says Australia is eligible.

        http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/SUPER-MARIO-3D-LAND-Welc…

        Pretty sure Australia gets the 'European' 3DSs aswell since we are PAL land.

        • Ventak on 20/11/2013 - 11:35

      Nintendo of Europe GmbH SUPER MARIO 3D LAND Welcome Promotion Terms & Conditions

      If you are under 18, please read these Terms and Conditions together with your parent or legal guardian.
      To participate in the promotion, you have to be a resident of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, South Africa, Australia, or Russia.
      You must have registered two products: (i) a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system (European version; Nintendo 2DS excluded) and (ii) one out of fifteen eligible games in Club Nintendo at www.club-nintendo.com between 27th November 2013, 15:01 (UK time) and 13th January 2014, 22:59 (UK time). The eligible games are:

      • imket on 20/11/2013 - 12:14

        the key line being, " a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system (European version; Nintendo 2DS excluded) "

        • fLaMePrO on 20/11/2013 - 14:30

          Then why would it be open to us? That wouldn't make any sense, how many people here would be buying a 3DS from Europe.

          European = PAL, which is the same region as us. It's just differentiating from NTSC-U and NTSC-J.

    • Luminary on 20/11/2013 - 12:16

      I think the Zelda 3DS is from a different region considering they're providing a power plug. Is the UK and Europe versions different?

  • fLaMePrO on 20/11/2013 - 11:24

    Uhhh. You're kidding me right. I bought a 3DS a few days ago and already registered it..

    • theguyrules on 20/11/2013 - 11:35

      I decided to wait as the promo when I bought mine was Animal Crossing which I already have.
      And the waiting worked, but I already have this game too.

      • fLaMePrO on 20/11/2013 - 11:37

        What do I do? Should I contact Nintendo? This is pretty ridiculous, surely they'll cut me some slack here. I mean the idea is that you register a device as soon as you buy it, why should I be penalised for that :/

        • theguyrules on 20/11/2013 - 11:41

          You could try, yeah.
          Although the promo doesn't start til next week, you were only a few days out from actually hearing about it and being able to hold off registering.

        • fLaMePrO on 20/11/2013 - 11:55

          Yeah I've just fired off an email. Can only hope they'll be forgiving. And yeah your position also kinda sucks, be nice if you could at least choose from a few games. Hate feeling cheated when you're a loyal customer :<

    Pretty good deal. Like a few others here, will be getting the Zelda edition 3ds then doing a system transfer and may pick up Bravely Ddefault.

    Nintendo is relying mostly on Pokemon, mario and zelda to sell its consoles. I honestly cannot think of anything I want from Nintendo other than these games.

  • manbearpig on 21/11/2013 - 03:47

    So I bought the White 3DS XL + Mario Kart bundle 6 months ago from amazon UK, but never registered anything. Just checked my box, and there are two cards, one for the console and one for Mario Kart. Lucky!

    It's a UK console, but can it be registered on either the UK or AU club nintendo sites? If so, which would I be better off registering the 3DS and game to?

    Can someone please clarify. I know UK and AU are both PAL, but I'm confused as to whether the UK club nintendo cards are different to AU ones. I remember the club nintendo cards in UK Gamecube/Wii games not being compatible with the AU club nintendo..

    • theguyrules on 21/11/2013 - 03:50

      You'd have to register to the UK Club Nintendo

      Then in order to claim the game you'd have to simply change your 3DS's account setting to UK if you haven't already, then enter the code.

    • MasterNoob on 21/11/2013 - 07:08

      Make sure you actually stick with one eShop. Nintendo will be releasing a firmware that will disable region switching.
