Anyone here's willing to buy me a M&L code? I hate when I miss these offers 'cause I don't have money!

Is anyone aware of how long will it last? :p

NO REASON TO NOT BUY TW101 AND PIKMIN 3 IF YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET!

Yes, I'm shouting! 2 of the best games of 2013. For that price. Grab them!
 
Animal Crossing for 8 quid? Why not. It's not like a physical copy is ever going to reach that price in the UK, where Nintendo games rigidly stay at full price months, even years down the line.

Do I have to set up an account with this site or can I just use PayPal?

Same with me. I was even submitting a password reset email... I waited... it came... "I'm sorry, but we can not find a registered account with this email address"

It's the same address my NNID and Club Nintendo accounts use. Fuck sake Nintendo.

Glad I wasn't the only one to fall into the 'Nintendo version of the internet' trap
 
Shame I have Mario & Luigi/Donkey Kong and Animal Crossing already :(

Not really interested in W101 or Pikmin…unless someone can sell me on them?

Haha, me too. I totally fell for that.

I already own most of these physical but i have been wanting to have digital copies for a while now.

If they honour it and they go through, do you reckon we'll get premium points at full RRp for the Wii U games?

Even non 3DS or Wii U owners should jump aboard and buy these codes for their future purchases... holy crap, not even in the used market there will be such prices!

Interesting.

Received the confirmation email, but let's see if it actually goes through.

Silly me, I tried to sign in using my NNID. Then I tried my linked Club Nintendo account. Should've known I actually needed to open a third Nintendo account. Jokers.
Unified accounts?

Not on Nintendo's watch!

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Just bought Animal Crossing and Wonderful 101. I wonder if the orders will actually go through but awesome prices for the games if it does get fulfilled.

Are they clearing out the digital inventory or something? The prices are pure murder.

Yeah because those download codes take too much space on there servers. Gotta clean up some space; so that the servers wont crash again when pokemon bank releases.

Probably. Digital storehouses in the UK are full to bursting at the moment. It's dangerous. If they can ship some of these digital codes out on the cheap then maybe the poor store workers might be able to clear some room to have a cup of tea, at least. If that was the reason though I'm not sure why they wouldn't let you download a WiiU - that's the big problem atm.

They are £8. Good enough reason for me! My brother has got me Pikmin for my birthday so just ordered W101. Didn't raelly like the demo, but £8!!!

Hate to buy into their digital store but I can't refuse at these prices. It's working hours now so they might honour it if there's not too many orders.

Thanks for sharing, OP.

Decided to skip out on DKCR 3D since Tropical Freeze is coming out soon. Don't want to burn out on the gameplay.

Checkout says 30 minutes before codes are emailed so we'll just have to wait and see.
 
Bought Mario & Luigi and Donkey Kong.

Also bought W101 and Pikmin even though I don't have a Wii U yet. Too good to pass up at that price.

You can get both games for half the price of buying one of them in a store. They won't be this cheap again for years.
 
The Nintendo UK store is run by The Hut. Just putting that out there.

Almost tempted to buy W101 and Pikmin 3 but no WiiU owned (and not looking likely to either) makes me think it would be better to heed caution. So Mario & Luigi only.

Is that Mario and Luigi game for the 3DS any good?
Apparently it is not the best Mario and Luigi game and goes on for a bit long (is more of a 40 hour game than the 20 hour game previous ones were). I'm still in though.
