if you have a 3DS and have 3 of 8 games registered on club nintendo, you can claim another one on download for free.

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-3DS-So-Ma...

the thing with nintendo is, (if you didnt know) you get a fold of paper inside every one of their games and consoles that you register on club nintendo, and you get stars, which are points, and you use those points to get free stuff from nintendo, a while ago you could get stuff like statues of link from zelda, on his horse or trophies from mario cart and stuff like that, but they also do smaller things like note books with a 'Boo' on the front and other things.

might have a bit of trouble with the website atm though as im guessing there is a huge amount of traffic logging on to club nintendo as i cannot register my castlevania 3DS game properly. but hopefully will be able to soon once the traffic dies down.

unsure on what to get, monster hunter or donkey kong country 3D

which free game would you get?

Which 3 games have you got? Luigi's Ghost Mansion is the one game that I really want as it's supposed to be excellent. Fire Emblem is also getting very good reviews, so it's then a toss-up between Monster Hunter, Animal Crossing and Donkey Kong Country. None of which I really really want, but a free game is not to be sniffed at, especially when there's a chance I'll find something different and interesting by trying something new.

I've got luigis mansion, castlevania and fire emblem.

all very good games IMO.

im guessing you know all about luigis mansion, there is an online component to it as well, and once you have completed a mansion you can go back into it and capture the boo's after. it is a very good game. there are bosses in it too, the first one i came up against i actually had to look up on the net how to kill it. was quite difficult even knowing how to do it

if you like castlevainia games, this one is slightly different, but good. you play as 3 (i think) diff characters though the game, and they (so far for me) intertwine their stories.

fire emblem, very good, i have gone for the normal mode and the newbie style where your people don't die permanently and still i have got game over a couple of times and a few other people have died without a game over.

i went for monster hunter for the free game and im just waiting for the free code to be emailed to me.

any time wink


if you go on the GAME website you can get it as a download for a fiver off, plus you dont have to switch the cart out every time you want to play it, the same with the 3 I got aswell.

i think they are all a fiver off as a download from game.


just dont forget to register them on your club nintendo, if you get them as download you just log into you club nintendo an go to your account then click on the see all my registered games and systems then click on the claim stars for this download next to the game name otherwise you dont get it registered as dnt get the free game. if you dont get them as download you get a red fold of paper with a scratch off panel that you enter onto your club nintendo register a product page

oh yeah, an if you are downloading them from the Eshop after getting the code from game, you will need a decent sized SD card to go in your 3DS.

there is also download content for free on monster hunter and DLC for fire emblem too, but if you get the bundles that have (for example champions pack) all 3 missions it costs costs 2.99, and on some of the DLC missions, you get another character at the end of it.

I'm thinking I'll need another SD card at some point, think mine has space for a couple more games on it yet though.

I had over 4000 stars a few years back, then they all expired before I spent, this sent me into a similar rage to when Nandos changed their loyalty cards and I lost my whole chicken. Managed to get a load back recently after registering the 3DS, Wii U and a few games, these then got spent on a cleaning cloth and some shoe laces which I'm pondering whether to use or not.

the last thing I got was the sock thing for keeping the 3DS/ds lite safe an clean, before that it was a mario figure thing with all the characters on one base.

every so often they have a super pricy thing on club nintendo, like a massive link figure on a horse or other trophies an stuff, but they cost something like 20k stars or around there.

Good to know, I've started the process by getting Luigi's Mansion via game earlier, will try that out a bit later, then decide what else to get with it...
