Edit : legit pricing error, all games are back to normal price!

Looks like there's a promotion/pricing error on the Nintendo UK webstore, allowing you to get some retail games for like 8£. There's The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Mario & Luigi : Dream Team and more.

You should check it out before it's too late! And you can buy stuff from outside the UK, as long as it's digital! It SHOULD work on any EU console (if it's doesn't, you can always set up a new NNID, on your Wii U)

Lock if old.

Bought Mario and Luigi.

If only I were in the UK.

Wish they would instantly give you the code.

Do the codes work in mainland Europe?

Leezard · Jan 14, 2014

Hm, do they work on other European 3DS?

Sintoid · Jan 14, 2014

They work only in UK right?

Right...

L~A · Jan 14, 2014

For those wondering : yes you can buy AND download stuff from the store. They email you a standard DL code available on any PAL 3DS.

KingSnake · Jan 14, 2014

UK codes work only on UK eshop. At list on Wii U. But on Wii U you can set another NNID based in UK.

Edit: now on second thought I not so sure about the "only" part. But anyhow, if you have a PAL Wii U, it will work one way or another.

Mr-Joker · Jan 14, 2014

Everyone in the UK buy The Wonderful 101 you have no excuse.

Now if you will excuse me I am going to buy the Mario and Luigi hat.

Does this include Ireland? I would assume so.

Too bad....

The code that GAME are selling, they also only work in the UK eShop?

fantomena · Jan 14, 2014

Can I use this in Norway?

darkpaladinmfc · Jan 14, 2014

Bought the 2 Wii U games, anybody received a code yet?

one_kill · Jan 14, 2014

Will the download codes work for Australians?

I'm Italian, living in Italy, using the Italian eShop: does that mean I can enjoy UK webstore promotion/screw up?

Someone not in UK should try to see if the codes work on non-UK eShops as well.

I wanted to buy Animal Crossing for my cousin.

You can change the console country, set up a new NNID with UK and download from UK eshop and then switch back to your country and NNID and you will be fine. Again, for Wii U. I don't know how it works on 3ds.

gogogow said:

Yes. And they work the same.

Okay, now i'm confused. Can someone buy the DL code and redeem it if they have a European, but non-UK eShop account?

So it works like PS3? DL with another account and play with your main?

ShellyDeKiller · Jan 14, 2014

Fuck. Cant believe I have all those games already!! >_<

dc89 · Jan 14, 2014

Wow, thanks OP!!! Mario & Luigi get!

cyberheater · Jan 14, 2014

Not interested in W101 but did order Pikmin 3.

Platy · Jan 14, 2014

Outside of UK = PAL

right ?

javac · Jan 14, 2014

I already own all these. Should I just buy them again? Lol...maybe I could sell the physical copy. Can I transfer the data for Wii U from physical to digital?

MilesWebber · Jan 14, 2014

I wanted to jump on 101 and Pikmin but I'm in the US

Dantis · Jan 14, 2014

Bought Pikmin, Donkey Kong and Animal Crossing.

Was tempted to buy W101, but it would be a waste.

Amazing deal. Cheers for this!

OminoMichelin · Jan 14, 2014

FML for buying wonderful 101 a month ago for 31£
Oh well, I'm getting mario and luigi at least.

Edit: uh, I need a UK postcode, how do I get one?

Yes, any account on a Wii U can play all the games downloaded there.

Magicpaint · Jan 14, 2014

Wow o_0

Is the 3DS version of Lego City any good?

cyberheater · Jan 14, 2014

You non-UK folks. Keep away from our bargains you scum.

DL codes provided by Nintendo are always working on any EU 3DS, but I never bought any codes from that webstore... wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo managed to add yet another layer of region-locking.

Gonna edit the OP then, just to be on the safe side.

MLH · Jan 14, 2014

Damn total impulse purchase here - Bought W101 and Pikmin 3 and I don't even own a Wii U!

kulapik · Jan 14, 2014

So it works on PAL countries? Please, want to buy before is gone >.<

AbandonedTrolley · Jan 14, 2014

Cheers grabbed Wonderful 101 and Animal Crossing, I don't even have a 2/3DS

Agent Gibbs · Jan 14, 2014

WOW

Valkyria · Jan 14, 2014

TheZjman · Jan 14, 2014

How do I buy this. At checkout I can only select UK as country. Do I type in a fake post code?

Immaculate · Jan 14, 2014

Santiako · Jan 14, 2014

Awesome, got me Animal Crossing and Donkey Kong.
