You will then get an email with your promotional code on August 2nd – just in time for the Pikmin 3 release on August 4th.
Thanks, Sheldon
Quite a first deal of its kind
Uhh hello! ThePolarKuma skrew u!! i wana b 1st 4 onse!
fag
For a Nintendo console, sure, but not at large – PSN has been doing it for more than a year. There was this time I got $10 back just for renewing the PS+ annual subscription, which is $50.
Anyway, it’s nice to get something back from being a loyal customer. If I hadn’t bought everything I wanted from the eShop already I’d sure take advantage of this promotion.
I’m sry to tell you this but with Sony credit I can’t buy Nintendo games so there.
No duh genius.
When you fuck up your life, just remember, it’s probably because you mocked the Voice of Reason.
Plus, annual subscription fees. Pffft.
Erm, wut?
Simply G do not approve this!
Plus, 18 games with another added each months and up to 75% off in the Playstation store. I don’t even own a Playstation device but you can’t deny that is way better than this offer. With $50 on the eShop you would probably only be able to get 2 retail games and one download only game at the most.
Scrap that, I just realized that I was looking at Amazon prices, I wondered why they were so cheap. The most you could get is probably one retail and one download only.
If you had paid attention, you’d notice that you didn’t need to subscribe to anything to get the cash back, it was open to all users. Just like Nintendo is doing now.
Uhh hello! i like dis it so grate!
So much money for so little it seems…
This is why I love Nintendo.
I only have $20 on the eshop.
Why is Nintendo wanting people to go on eshop ignoring that it is very little ram in it in the first place? Its not like it has 100 gb or something.
I lost brain cells trying to comprehend what you said.
Basically, he is saying If Nintendo wanted people to buy digitally, then why they make the HDD so small.
* why did they
I dont know about you but I got the deluxe edition, and I still got a gang of space. Plus an external hard drive should I need it.
I bought the deluxe as well, and like you, I also have a few gb of un-used space. Maybe it’s because the library isnt that great right now though and the VC is overpriced. I think they should have had a 64gb SSD in the deluxe though.
I reformatted a 64GB SDXC card from exFAT to w/e the 3DS reads and slapped that baby in there and now I have 400,000+ blocks . I don’t think I had the deluxe edition, since the SD card I replaced was only like 2GB.
then why mention the ram O.o ?
Maybe he thinks Ram = HDD or Storage.
Sense: you make none
Uh?????
That’s because they recommend storing all of your games through the HDMI port, not the RAM
Lol
Ram… really… if anything you meant ROM.
The WiiU’s internal (Flash-memory is what you’re looking for), can be easily upgraded by plugging in an additional…
am I wasting my fucking time explaining this to you?…
Assuming NOT, you have to upgrade your storage by plugging in a hard drive or a flash drive. Nintendo did this on purpose so they could charge you retail + pricing for games after saving you $$ by not hard wiring an expensive as shit solid-state hard drive into your console.
32 gig is a shit ton for what you’re using it for. It’s not like you’re storing all your movies and music on it. It’s not a computer.
Now I just need $50….
Will this work with the 3ds e-shop too?
No just wiiu :(
Is the 3DS selling like a demon-shit milkshake? … No offense.
I got $30 free credit on 3ds eShop for spending $90 (before tax).
So… yeah, your reasoning is flawed.
Can use the $10 credit on the 3DS E-Shop.
First!
So, I stick 100 bucks on my eshop account, get 10 bucks back, and then I buy Pikmin 3 on the eshop and get another 6 bucks back through the Deluxe Digital Promotion. That isn’t too bad, but I’m sure the company is saving plenty more money with it’s digital sales.
Really though, this offer when combined with the DDP is fairly nice, almost like 20% off all eshop software. Almost.
If you’re planning on Pikmin and 101 around the same time, And you don’t want to fuck around looking for online sales, it’s reasonable.
thebensanders, what’s the deal with you saying “uhh hello” all the time?
Do I have to do it at once or I can do in bunches?
Bunches, before the promo ends…. how else would you be able to register $100?
CREDIT CARD! I LIKE SWIPING MY PARENT CREDIT CARDS WITHOUT THINKING! I approve this!
Time to go buy me a card!
$100 is a lot, but heck, I know I’ll be getting Cloudberry Kingdom and Ducktales, and that’ll eat up a third of it just this next month alone.
Oh, plus Pokemon Rumble U! $50 wouldn’t even last me until Labour Day.
When did this start? I put a $50 card on my account two days ago, so I hope I get 5 bucks for it.
No, it starts today. The fine print says only from July 22-28.
Damn.
Don’t you hate that when that happen?
Yeah, it stinks, but $5 isn’t worth getting upset over. I’m sure you’ll end up finding a good deal in stores or something later on to make up for it anyway…
It would be much easier for me go through with this if I was able to spread all that cash across both my 3DS and Wii U. Also if I wasn’t saving my money for retail games.
There’s gotta be something worth buying too… Atm I already own all content I’m interested in…
Yeah I know
Nano assault neo
Trine 2
Mighty switch force: hyper drive edition
All I need is bit trip presents runner 2
And maybe cloudberry kingdom
So, it’s an additional 10% off your eShoo purchases (“additional” if you own the deluxe.)
See. I can do math you sly Marketing fuckers. But “Save 10%” didn’t sound as good, eh?
Pika ⚡
(Cool ⚡ )
Thanks for the heads up, I only use the eshop for games not available retail, but it doesn’t take long to spend 100 bucks on VC and indie titles.
fuck that. they’re trying to hoard our dough. what if the eshop gets hacked and people’s dough vanish into thin air.
Then they would be called psn :P
Lol, your a funny fucker! You’re all right. (But he’s right about Nintendo trying to lock down our cash so we have to spend it on WiiU, when as earlier stated, we may want to buy 3DS games or naughty underwear later)
Oh stop you are sooooo nasty O:-)
>:( Don’t get any ideas…
I’ll let them lock down my dough for the 5% extra return. Not easy to get that in this market.
I mean 10% extra return. Can’t get that anywhere these days.
or you could just wait for a sale of the games you are interested in and you will save more this way.
? This sounds like a shit deal.
Free money doesn’t sound good to you?
its not free money, i have to spend $100 you dickhead
You get to keep the $100 as well, you are not trading $100 for $10, noob.
If you’re downloading Pikmin 3, you put your money down a week early and you only pay $55 instead of $60. Yeah, awful deal.
Do tou have to add it all at once or what?
Well that isnt worth it. Thought it was add ANY amount like a $20 e-shop card and get $10. No way will I ever have more then $40 in my 3DS e-shop, and never will I have more then $60 in my Wii U e-shop.
OK well $60 qualifies so I don’t see how it isn’t worth it…
This site has REALLY gone to hell… yet I feel so informed and entertained…
You look like that Pika-twat guy I like, with your lightning bolts and shit. Still, too old to be a Pokemon aren’t you, with all the bony turtle thing going on? There are truly some interesting fuckers on this site.
That’s not a Pokemon…
*laughs* He MAY be a Nintendo fan… (he may not) but THANK YOU. god, can’t the devil recognize dry bones?!
The devil is a tortured soul. He never upgraded to gameboy from game & watch
No problem :)
that guy is just being ignorant.
Same here lol
Your gravatar should be the Anubis enemy from Ocarina of Time…
Good to see Nintendo doing these type of things but I will pass this time.
Nice of them to do, but not worth it to me. I don’t usually spend that much at a time on a game on the eShop.
The deal doesn’t sway me. Not enough e-shop games i like and i never buy retail games digital.
Meh. The idea is great, but the amount seems a little low for what they’re asking. Would probably be a better deal if their eshop had a lot more exclusives and/or vc, which is sorely lacking at the moment
Anal subscription fees
Sorry Nintendo, but to me, The Wii U Virtual Console is redundant.
Earthbound wants to have a serious word with you. the Virtual console has a rare classic, it is simply beautiul. Ness is in it :).
I feel like Earthbound is great playing on the SNES instead.
Lol if rather pay 10 for earthbound in my Wii u than 150 for my Super durrrrhhhh
Wow one game……. Nice (Y)
It said specifically in the email to keep this deal quite Sheldon. Damn you and your secret breaking. You don’t deserve deals like these!!
$10 for $100….no thanks.
so if i have $70 just sitting there in the eshop right now waiting to be spent on pikmin 3 does that mean i get the credit too?? or just if i add another $50? i don’t know….
if i don’t get credit that’s kind of a mean promo for a nintendo fan who already has $70+ in the eshop waiting to be spent especially on pikmin 3.
or do i put another $30 bucks in there to get $10 credit..? who knows.
