https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe/

People tend to forget this website exists if you own the deluxe Wii U! Plus if you buy Kart and redeem your free digital game it counts towards the promo so you'll be assured to have enough points for at least one $5 credit! I already got my credit for Pikmin 3 that I chose for free, and I'm close to another!

You just need your NNID login info to check and see your status!

NintenDOMG · May 31, 2014

I was surprised to receive credit for both Mario Kart 8 & the free games! Almost 15$ CND

LiK · May 31, 2014

I click Sign In and nothing happens.

edit: ok, didn't work in Chrome for whatever reason. Worked fine in FF.

Thanks OP

Crimsonclaw111 · May 31, 2014

So if you buy a MK8 bundle, that's effectively $10 in eShop credit right? And you can use it for both the 3DS and Wii U because of NNID?

Nintendo's servers in general are being slammed right now.

I got points for Mario Kart and Pikmin 3. $10 yay!

Hah I forgot about this. What a dummy.

Your eShop balance is shared across both consoles yes. So you could say use the credit to buy Pushmo on the 3ds since it's on sale right now!

Arcanine55 · May 31, 2014

This also works for Europe?

Canis lupus · May 31, 2014

too bad nintendo wont let me make a nnid on the web

Crimsonclaw111 · May 31, 2014

Awwwww yeaaaaaa

This won't apply to me until after e3 most likely since I don't have the MK8 bundle yet

Timan · May 31, 2014

Oh neat, 5$ for the Pikmin download.

Yes! I'll edit the OP with the EU link which is different!

Smiles and Cries · May 31, 2014

this has given me a lot of money back since launch I am sorry to see it end

abstract alien · May 31, 2014

Indeed. I got Mario Kart for like 10 bucks thanks to this.

K' Dash · May 31, 2014

Maybe I'll get Ninja Gaiden 3.

Maybe.

Yah, I'm at $45 back since it started. Been a nice perk.

It's not necessary, I get my free 5 from that link! Thank you!

yes, although it took 24 hours for my free Windwaker digital download to show up within the system (420 pts)

bobbychalkers · May 31, 2014

I checked earlier and the free game didn't show up, glad to see I got credit for it.

masud · May 31, 2014

Already got the credit for Mario Kart but the free games not showing up on the site.

scitek · May 31, 2014

I have a basic

But I paid $200 for it with a Pro Controller and 7 games a year ago, so I'm good.

TheGrue · May 31, 2014

Funny, I happened to remember this today myself and checked in and had $35 in credit. Picked up Disney Magical World with it.

Neff · May 31, 2014

£42 value redeemed for a free Monster Hunter... which enabled me to get a code for a £5 coupon. Only need to spend another £10 to be eligible for another £5 code. Pretty crazy.

This deal just keeps on giving...

At the end of the year, I believe.

The period for earning points will end on 31st December 2014.

I read that this "promo" is avaible until December of 2014, so yeah.

atr0cious · May 31, 2014

This is why I got MK8 digital. I already had $10 credit making MK8 $50, so after MK8 and WWHD, I have another $10 in credit, which will be for Scram Kitty.

anotherVegan · May 31, 2014

Just got $5. Thanks for the reminder!

BY2K · May 31, 2014

Ah nice, I actually had a 5$ waiting for me there. Thanks for the reminder.

iKhayal18 · May 31, 2014

Just 47 points more for the 5$ code! Thank you for reminding us

Vanillalite · May 31, 2014

Now everyone just needs to figure out what they are gonna use all of their free credit on!

mrklaw · May 31, 2014

Thanks

I checked after registering Mk8, but I needed 155 more points for a voucher, so forgot about it. Just checked and I now have a voucher. Virtual console here I come. Hmm, minish cap, earthbound or contra?

SatoAilDarko · May 31, 2014

Forgot about this, $50 for Mario Kart and Pikmin is great and really tempting. It's just I prefer Sonic Racing. Not because it's a better game but because of the multiple franchises and especially for the 5-player modes on Wii U which MK doesn't have. I'm not big into online multi-player either.

I also like owning physical copies of stuff so I would eventually get a physical Pikmin 3 copy anyway. I own but haven't played the first two either.

I really wish Game & Wario or Wonderful 101 were options here in the US and not just Europe (I understand the Sega games but why not these) as I was planning to download both anyway (I own physical copies already). I would then probably download MK8.

Tucah · May 31, 2014

Already had $5 I forgot about, plus this $5 means free Pushmo, nice.

Pikmin 3 is great so it's just a matter of whether you Mario Kart is worth the 20 or so bucks difference. Personally I'm having a blast even though I also have Sonic All-Star Racing. Playing online in the GAF room is great.

I get the following error:

Sign in failed. Possible reasons include:
- You are in a country that is not eligible for this promotion
- You do not own a Wii U Premium Pack. Only users who created a Nintendo Network ID on a Wii U Premium Pack console are eligible for this promotion.
- Not enough time has elapsed. You cannot participate in this promotion until the day after you've purchased downloadable software or add-on content.

I received my MK8 Wii U bundle yesterday and downloaded my free Zelda.

I notice it says "Only users who created a NNID on a Wii U Premium Pack console are eligible." Does this mean those who originally created their NNID on a 3DS aren't eligibe?

NuKERxyz · May 31, 2014

Most of my games dont show up there :*(

DarkLegion · May 31, 2014

I didn't get 5$ for pikmin 3

just for mk8. Should I email nintendo?

Minish Cap = Earthbound >>>> Contra

Not that Contra isn't a great game, but it's just gonna gonna hold up against MC and Earthbound. You'll get way more value and playtime from the other two games.

corn_fest · May 31, 2014

Wow, nice! I wasn't sure if they'd give points for Pikmin since it was free. So I got MK8 and Pikmin for $50, effectively. And once I spend $3, I'll get another code. Nice

I'd personally put EB well above Minish Cap... it's one of the weaker Zelda entries (though it has it's fans).

As others have stated they checked before and saw nothing. Then they rechecked later on and it appeared.

Give it some time as Nintendo servers have been fubar all weekend. Just don't forget to check again later!!

I like minish cap but have played it on GBA.never played Earthbound so will try that - it does get a lot of love

Takes a day or so for the system to link up, try again Sunday or Monday.

It took a couple days for my login to work on the site when I got a Wii U. I wouldn't worry about it, check it again tomorrow.

ViviOggi · May 31, 2014

Thanks for the reminder, had 5 from Monster Hunter sitting there!

MK8's online is incredibly smooth though, having tons of fun with fellow Gaffers. Best online experience I've had on consoles functionality-wise.
