Nintendo WiiU : Thread 04

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

You can sell the code as it's not tied to your account. You would have to redeem the CN code and then pick one of the games to get the code.

If you were going to sell then I wouldnt redeem the code until you know what title is wanted by the buyer.

How long after redeeming the code does the CN code take to come thru or is it instant?

[Brad]

Code provided as soon as you register the MK8 game. Allows you to instantly download the game you choose.

Boys and girls - for those of you who bought the black 32GB premium console, don't forget that all digital purchases collect points that can earn you a ?5 voucher for the e-shop. Even the free game download that came with MK8 will earn you a stack of points so if you've bought any digital titles previously (including VC games) you might be ready for a fiver.

Personally I bought a MK8 download code from GAME for 40 squid, and the extra points that I gained from both it and my free copy of Sonic actually entitled me to a ?10 e-shop voucher. Well worth checking to see if you've got enough points!

I had 0 idea about this promotion, but I've just logged in and got ?10 essentially for nothing. Cheers mate!

I got 420 points from Zelda, registered as a ?42.01 spend. Haven't really looked around the store but I guess another ?10 spent will entitle me to the ?5.

3D Mario titles don't seem to hold the same draw that they used to these days.

Tragic, but NCL's fault given the way that they've totally prostituted Mario IP in recent times.

Biggest irony of it? The likes of Starfox, Metroid & F-Zero - the forgotten Nintendo franchises - could arguably provide some fresh impetus to the Wii U line-up, no?

Sort of, the ?42.01 is without vat as that's what they give you points on, the amount before vat (due to it differing country to country) Zelda must be a fifty quid title, so you probably need to spend another seven quid to get your fiver back.

WiiU premium has come to the end of its production run in japan, to many unsold units or a new bigger HD WIIU on the way i guess we will find out via E3 in a couple of weeks.

Re-deigned console with better battery life in the game pad. Games are locked to consoles right?

[VR46]

Yep games are locked to the machine. Nintendo will sort that out one day but don't hold your breath.

This could well be right

[punio75]

I hope so, I love my wiiu
the interface is great, it has a decent library. Mario kart rocks too

[kryss]

No free game for me today. Silly Nintendo.

I could not agree more. Mario has been all over everything. Kart and 3D World aside, it's been overkill.

Damned it, i chose TW101 as my free game choice and got the code, but then realized i have a serious shortage of space on my WiiU...its 12.9gb!

If anyone was going to choose TW101 as a free DL and hasn't used their free game option yet, i'd be super happy if you could PM me and i'd trade my TW101 code for Zelda or possibly something else?

[kryss]

Plug a harddrive in. I had to clear space for Mario U, but I had some demos to get shot of anyways.

After all that bitching I got my game... *embarrass*

[Jaz]

I really don't get all the Nintendo bitching. They are a massively successful company, have an enormous amount of money in the bank, and yet they cop **** from everyone. They do things their way and **** everyone else. Good on them. Last thing we need is another MS or Sony who are essentially churning out the same **** as each other. The WiiU is great. Love the gamepad. Many great games. Hardly any Call of Duty.

I still expect them to "win" this generation, not that they would care in the slightest about such nonsense.
