Isn't this basically the Digital Deluxe promotion? It's good to hear that they are advertising it more and hopefully making it available to non-deluxe buyers.

 

[guek]

ummm...isn't this just the DDP?

 

[zroid]

sounds like this is from adding funds to wallet, whereas DDP is from buying stuff

in other words, it stacks with the DDP

hmm I just added $30 with my Fire Emblem/SMT code, I wonder if that counts?

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Interesting if it stacks on top of the digital deluxe bundle offer as well. I'd add the funds for sure if NOA announces the 30% W101 offer with a Pikmin 3 digital purchase, but that's not looking too promising..

 

[BY2K]

Wait... so... do you get the amount for BOTH adding the funds AND buying the game?

 

[Oni Link 666]

I'll trade you $50 for $5.

 

[DigitalOp]

What kind of titles are available for 5 or 10 bucks on the eshop, including VC??

 

[Cartman86]

Cool. Might as well since I was going to buy Pikmin 3 digitally anyways. Wish the 3DS store was connected.

 

[javac]

Wait... so... do you get the amount for BOTH adding the funds AND buying the game?

By the looks of it, yup. This is just for adding funds. The digital promotion is for buying games with or without adding funds beforehand

 

[Somnid]

They had this deal in Japan too. It should stack.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Add $100
Get $10
Spend $100
Get another $10
Get 30% of TW101 ($42) and with your $20 get it for $22
Get another $4 back

Brilliant

 

[properpropaganda]

How quick do you get the $30 credit for fire emblem/smt iv? Does any one know if that credit counts?

 

[zroid]

Ah fuck, it says the funds must be added from the 22nd to the 28th. Wish I hadn't used the FE/SMT code already! DANG

How quick do you get the $30 credit for fire emblem/smt iv? Does any one know if that credit counts?

You get the code within an hour of registering your second of the two games on CN. It *should* work because the details say add funds with CC or prepaid card, and the code is essentially a prepaid card. I'm SOL though, already used my code on Thursday

Isn't the 30% promotion only available in Europe?

 

[PotionBleue]

Is there a similar offer for PAL countries?

 

[tim.mbp]

Should not it says US and Canada only.

 

[mentalward]

Hmm...wonder if you have to add it all at once? I just put in $35 this weekend. Would probably pick up a $20 card if I knew it would give me the credit.

 

[MikeE21286]

Meh

 

[javac]

Purchase Pikmin 3 on the eShop and get 30% off TW101 I believe.

 

[tim.mbp]

I doubt it cause I don't think there's $100 eShop cards. You'd need at lease two separate codes to reach that $100.

 

[jmls1121]

I love Nintendo taking a page out of the Steam playbook with all these deals, but added with the randomness that comes with Nintendo.

 

[Deleted member 126221]

You don't even have to spend it? Cool! There's no harm in adding $50 to my account if it doesn't expire, I'm sure I'll easily spend it during the console's lifetime even if I mainly buy retail games. There's Ducktales coming soon, I need to grab New Super Luigi U, etc.

 

[JavyOO7]

Deal should last longer...

 

[Arya Stark]

This is not even close to a Steam deal lol, not sure what you're referencing.

 

[cacildo]

So if i add $50

Ill get $55

And then when i spend this 50$, DDP will give me another $5 card.

Is that how it works?

Yes.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I shall be doing this!

 

[moai]

Get 30% of TW101 ($42)

There's a deal for w101?

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Yeah, the promotion is Europe only (for now).

 

[dragonflys545]

$10 for spending $100... Might as well wait for Buy 2 get one free on those retail titles I want.

 

[JavyOO7]

Buying Pikmin 3 on eShop grants you 30 percent off W101. Only in Europe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRaunKQAN0Y&feature=player_detailpage#t=694s

Europe is doing the deal so of course NOA isn't doing the deal. NOA sucks.

 

[Kandinsky]

$10 for spending $100... Might as well wait for Buy 2 get one free on those retail titles I want.

You actually get 20 if you have a deluxe set.

 

[ipukespiders]

Crap. Added $150 in prepaid cards last week. Oh well.

 

[Canon]

This would be a good deal if I didn't already pre-order everything during the E3 sales...

 

[VanWinkle]

Yeah, the promotion is Europe only (for now).

Then why'd you use dollars?

 

[dragonflys545]

That's not as bad.

 

[Roto13]

$10 for having $100 in your Wii U account. You don't have to buy anything with it right away.

 

[QaaQer]

This would be a good deal if I didn't already pre-order everything during the E3 sales...

So hard to beat that deal, especially if you resell the game in the first month after release.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Awesome. Was hoping this deal make its way over here

 

[Snowden's Secret]

Then why'd you use dollars?

Uhh

I...

Uh

I was going to say my phone doesn't have other currency symbols but I just checked and it does € ¥ £

 

[Madao]

time to deposit my SM3DWorld and DKCTF money on the Wii U.

 

[dragonflys545]

$10 for having $100 in your Wii U account. You don't have to buy anything with it right away.

They should do something similar to the FE and SMTIV promotion instead, where people can get physical copies of the game.

 

[therapist]

Add 100$ , use the 10$ extra, call your bank and chargeback the 100$?
Win?

Lol seriously i guess its better than nothing but theres not much on there , certainly not enough to justfiy adding 100$ in funds for a measly 10 bucks of credit.

Smh

 

[Portman]

Very tempting. I was planning to get my Wii U games digitally too.

Now I'm just curious if pre-ordering Pikmin 3 from GameStop will qualify for the DDP and be able to get it a day early or if I just need to buy some eShop cards. Does anyone know this? I e-mailed NOA on Friday asking (since their site just says participating retailers) and have yet to hear back.

Digital review codes work towards ddp so I imagine that will too.

You don't need to use it right away.. ton of great titles coming this year, both full retail and digital exclusive.

 

[watershed]

Nintendo has had some nice online promotions lately and yet they can't get the most basic account system set up. smh.

 

[baphomet]

Not a bad deal, except that everything is tied to the hardware, and I came across buy 1 get 1 free at $20.00 on all 2 retail games I still wanted a few weeks back.

This is a precursor. Don't you worry.

I hope.
