on the eshop or the website

On the website, and they should email codes.

Thanks Nintendo.

Just want to say a big thanks to MrZjman for a fantastic post

Now downloading Lego City for the 3DS.
The email code took about 19 minutes for arrive for me

They've cheated us. That's what it means.

How? People have either got codes or are still waiting, if it if a misprice we'll get a refund. If that's what you define as being "cheated" you've lived a very sheltered life.

This didn't help me with the memory issues...













Still can't find my car keys! (I'll leave now)

I agree. Just wait. You'll get your game in the end for lunch money

If it goes through they will email you a code you redeem on the 3DS! And then it downloads straight onto the console!

Agree, they should not discount games to benefit customers who don't have them incase people paid full price for them once upon a time. Seriously?

I paid PayPal and have had code for donkey Kong but not yet for Mario

Thanks for the update jough, fingers crossed!!

I paid by paypal. I've received the code for new leaf, still waiting for pikmin and wonderful 101

Completely speculating here, but to me, it looks to me like Nintendo probably handle the digital sales personally. So rather than automatically sending out keys as a lot of more established digital sellers do, I expect there's probably someone going mental trying to deal with the high sales that we've all just inflicted upon them

Like I said, totally speculating, but saying that codes will be sent within 24 hours (but usually 30 minutes) sounds a lot like someone has ok each order, otherwise I can't see any logical reason for a delay. Just to be be clear though, has anyone had a CANCELLATION? There's lots of people saying they haven't got codes yet, but I can't see a company like Nintendo (with such a good customer service reputation) honoring some orders and not others. So I think it's probably just a case of being patient

(fyi I ordered Wonderful 101 and Pikmin via Paypal over an hour ago - no codes yet)

No codes here either (paypal). A mail from Nintendo popped up exactly an hour after the order confirmation, but mid fist-pump I noticed it was just a general registration confirmation for the site. Son of a birdo! Between the very limited sale over christmas and this, could they be trying to generate a user base for their new online store and test the waters for Steam-esque crazy sales?

Could well be processing the orders and just not able to cope with the volume. Nintendo and insufficient server capacity go together like a plumber's fist and a block full of coins.

Bah annoyed I missed this.

Its worth noting the store is ran by the hut group so its likely they'll try and stop what they can no matter what.

my son only has one game downloaded on to his 3ds and its saying he hasnt … my son only has one game downloaded on to his 3ds and its saying he hasnt enough storage blocks! His super mario 2 3d land only took up 2,000+ blocks and it is saying donkey kong needs 17,000+ blocks? any ideas as it looks like we cant even download it?Read lessRead more

Wow!! Crazy hot. Assuming they send them. Ordered a few but nothing yet.

Said it would take around 30 minutes to me.

I've been wanting to go digital and this works. £41 for those five, ebaying the physical version should cover that easy!!

Amazing! Makes up for me not finding Pikmin, or Donkey Kong in Tesco! Added bonus of Animal Crossing

oUkTuRkEyIII

You seem a bit excited (_;)Heat added.

I think a little excitement would be justified here X)
Great deal, but not completely sure whether this will be honoured. The discount is huge.

Awesome, been after DK country too. Picked up Animal Crossing while i was at it

Looks like they may have fixed it now. Animal crossing showing at £34.99 when added to basket.

Any link to Pikmin 3 at the discount price? Showing full price to me

Just got my five download codes! ^^^^^^

Mike7343

Anyone know if Donkey Kong or New Leaf is worth the buy?

You've probably left it too late. Impulse buying was compulsory for this deal.

adam0812

anyone actually got a code yet?

Yup. My five were emailed to me exactly 30 mins after the order.

anyone who paid with Paypal had a code yet?

Wish I had got Animal Crossing if I saw this on time -__-

I paid PayPal and have had code for donkey Kong but not yet for Mario

I forget what the expiration date for 3DS games were but it should be 3 years or more in the future.Read lessRead more

Okay, cheers for clearing that up. Now I'm just waiting like everyone else who used PayPal.

Edit: Damn it that was my 100th comment so an email about a badge came through. I got all excited for nothing
(edited)

Damn it, step away for an hour and miss this

D'oh! Missed out on this as i'd gone for my lunch break!

I picked up Lego City and DK... although I was toying over digital AC at the time, then I looked down at my boxed copy and decided I couldn't part with it, was one of those moments where "if you leave me now" plays in your head haha

Anyone had a code for Wonderful 101?

These were clearly mispriced so if someone was going through them all individually and it wasn't automatic all the orders would be getting cancelled

Might be we hit their system hard, they just confirmed my site registration 1 hour 13minutes later. No codes though.

Although I registered my Nintendo account when I ordered 1.15 ago, I've only just got the "welcome to nintendo" email. Maybe their email service is backlogged

That's my guess too. My guess is that there is someone/people manually having to access an internal code-generating system somewhere, and processing all our orders by hand.

How can you sell out of a digital download? You can't...

You can specify a set amount to be sold at a certain price and once that number is reached, it's technically sold out at that price
