This is yet another Rakuten code deal so ignore if this annoys you.

I hadn't pre-ordered Smash Bros yet but saw you can pre-order from thegamecollection for £38.95.

So if you add Smash Bros (£38.95) to the basket then add something else from the same seller to bring total to above £40 you can use code:

SPEND40 (£10 off £40 spend)

**NOTE: all items have to be from the same seller for the code to work**

So I added the cheapest Wii game - Movie Studios Party (£1.95):
rakuten.co.uk/sho…70/

After code brings the price down to £30.90 which is dead cheap (I think anyway).

Obviously thanks to whoever posted the code originally!!! :-D

Other add-on game options:

Kylie Sing & Dance (Wii - £1.95):
rakuten.co.uk/sho…16/

Metroid Other M (import) (Wii - £2.95):
rakuten.co.uk/sho…61/

New Play Control: Pikmin (import) (Wii - £3.49)
rakuten.co.uk/sho…62/

    Ok, at last!

    Just spoke to TGC and they've checked things over and there was an error with their Rakuten system for orders placed at certain times. They said they've just become aware of it, and are very sorry and will be sending out copies today alongside £3 vouchers, and emailing those effected.

    Guy on the phone seemed genuinely apologetic, so at least some faith is restored. Hopefully!

    I've never used Rakuten - are they any good?


    The seller is actually The Game Collection selling via rakuten.co.uk - they are excellent in my own experience buying stuff directly from their own website so I imagine they would be reliable here also.

    Apologies for spamming with another Rakuten code deal!Just to be clear - … Apologies for spamming with another Rakuten code deal!Just to be clear - the code only works if you spend a total of £40+ with the same seller so you would need to make sure you are adding something sold by thegamecollection to the basket or the code won't work. I obviously have no interest in the Wii game but you might need to be quick in case they sell out of Movie Studios Party!!! Obviously if you can find something else they sell for cheaper then choose that.



    good man - I, for one, definitely appreciate it. heat from me.

    For those with a Wii U online, your GamePad should be flashing ATM - Nintendo sent out a message letting everyone know you can now pre-download Smash for those who plan on going digital.

    Knowing TheGameCollection they'll send it early to the customers. *thumbs up*

    Nope. I ordered nothing else with it. Just Smash from TGC. Since it was over £40 at the time of ordering I used the £10 off voucher. I was kind of upset that this deal appeared but it was only a £2 difference. Got a email this morning saying it has been shipped.

    I will be spinning around if that Kylie game comes tomorrow.

    Though I won't be surprised if Smash comes tomorrow. A lot of reviewers already have copies and maybe the game collection already received it and felt generous.

    Seems like the 10% discount thing works but only valid as follows:

    Value: 10% off
    Valid until 2nd Jan 2015.

    Terms and conditions apply:

    One use only.
    Cannot be used with sale products.
    Cannot be used with pre-release products.
    Minimum basket total £5.00.
    Maximum basket total £100.00.

    * the end date (2nd January) is probably just 1 month from the date you complete the form on the website - if I'd known that I might have left it a few days as that's the day Captain Toad is released - I assume I should be able to get 10% discount + £3 off if I order on the 2nd.

    Yeah it needs to be the same seller so anything sold by thegamecollection on rakuten will do - the Wii games are the cheapest things they sell for £1.95 but you could add something else if you were planning to get it anyway (rather than end up with a rubbish Wii game which you have no interest in).

    They have Duke Nukem Forever for the PC for £2.95 (New & Unsealed) if that's more to your liking!

    Does anyone know when this code expires?


    'The coupon is valid until 16th November 2014' - but on the MSE site where this code originated it says there are only 2,000 available.

    Unfortunately, only Kylie popped through the letter box this morning!

    After much thought I decided to go with TheGameCollection's deal instead besides the games I play on my Wii U are its own not last-gen or such so I don't really care about GameCube now that I think about it.

    Before I cancel my £40.49 order from Zavvi (the bundle with the GameCube adapter) would anyone be interested in it? I could try to ask Zavvi if they'd change the delivery address.

    Super Smash Bros. for £30 is a must!

It doesnt even tell me whether it worked or not. And when i press the place order button it tells me to fill in all the fields. As far as I can gather, they want me to put my card details in but theres no place (as far as i know) where i can put this. Theres an option for me to pick credit card/debit card but no place for me to put the details. Does anyone else have a problem like this?



    Make sure you're registered and logged in with a Rakuten account. Guest accounts don't work. It just worked for me and took £10 off before I added my CC details.

    You can probably use it again by registering another rakuten account but I'm not sure whether they would be able to check if you use the same card &/or delivery address.

    Done! I ordered Pikmin Wii with mine... only £3.50.

    Since I'm too lazy to go trade in the Kylie game, Pikmin tempted me too, but it said something weird about being an unsealed import, so I went for Punch-Out! Lil Mac is controversial in SSB 3DS so I guess it's as good a time as any xD

    p.s. Thanks for the deal bernardsfingers

    Update from TGC for my order.

    "Thanks for your email. Unfortunately there is an issue with the pre-order system on Rakuten so that they are marked as dispatched before they are actually sent. We can confirm that this is a pre-order and will be dispatched a few days before release."

    So to all orders that have been marked as shipped. I guess that is not the case. I hope this helps.

    God why do merchants insist on using html5 or flash?! It does not work on iphone. Tried submitting the form about 10 f***ing times and nothing. But if I leave info blank then click submit it tells me to fill in the info. Flash and html5 is cancer and needs to be erased from existence.

    Doesn't include smash bros only the other game. It's just a pre-order issue on Rakuten where it's marked as shipped. TheGameCollection confirmed they are going to send pre-orders a few days before release.

    I've now ordered mine. Good deal giving game and Nintendo store will want £50 for it.

    It wasn't HUKD that was giving me the issue, it was Rakuten, I filled in all my delivery details and it never let me proceed. But its good now. I will never download an app for a URL page. That is what a web browser is for, so I do not need 100+ apps on my phone for each individual website.

    Also forgot to vote hot. voted up

    I tweeted them, saying various hukd members who ordered Smash via rakuten hadn't received their orders, but they haven't replied.

    Edit: they've replied to someone else saying they shipped and stock levels show this.
