All 4 codes received
Again, massive thanks to OP for bringing this to the attention of us lucky few gaffers.
Oh, yes! Thank you, OP! You made my day! ^^
Ha sorry I didn't mean for free. I'll put my hands up and admit I'm not as generous as many of the great gaffers that we hear of are unfortunately. I wish I was.
I would buy animal crossing for 15
Proper price!
(I bought a SM3DW code from Game for 40, showed as 50 on NNP.)
In that case:
Apart from the fact I got WiiU games, this is pretty accurate to how I currently feel
Man...okay. Sorry for being away for a bit. Basically a friend of mine I talked to a few mins ago was offering me around £15. I don't want to look like I'm trying to make a quick buck. I was originally going to keep these and sell my physical copies but decided to keep the discs and just offload these. If you think I'm asking for too much I'm truthfully sorry but I still think that's a fair price for 3 amazing games that retail for a lot more.
Sorry for all the commotion and I only have one of each. If you're interested I guess you could PM me with the name of the game you want out of the 3 and it would be a first come first served I guess. That seems a bit unfair for the people who asked 1st in this thread so I feel bad so I don't know if that's the best way to go :$
Let me know guys. Sorry for the derail and commotion.

Fair enough. PM'd!
Thank you so much OP. I now have Wonderful 101 downloading on the WiI U, and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team downloading on the Xl. Took over six hours to get the codes, but I'm so happy now. Finally get to play the only Platinum Game I've missed so far, and for that, my sincerest thanks.

Points is always based off what the game costs on the eShop at that point in time, not what you actually pay for the code

Yep, I just had to order a 16gb card so I can download it. Though the amount of games that fit on my 4gb is impressive it really was time to upgrade.
Like I offered on a previous page, 15 quid for W101?
PM me please.
I feel truly spoiled.Proper price!

The only one I wanted was AC (or rather live with as a download due to the lack of a proper account system), and that was the first one to be corrected. Ah well.

The best thing about this? Entered my card details wrong for one of the games in a rush. Emailed me tonight and let me change my card and retry....For the cheaper price

Nope :/
Comes up with an error message, a quick google doesn't bring up much information though.
Hopefully there's just an issue with the store at the moment!

I'll buy Pikmin 3 and/or Wonderful 101 at double the price (£16 each), if anybody is willing to sell.
I'll also dip into my Nintendo.co.uk Star Points reserve (I used to work at a Gamestation, where I nabbed unused ones from used games) and throw a bunch your way too. I have shitloads of the things lying around. If you're saving up for something on the Nintendo Stars Catalogue, I can certainly help you out.

You can't redeem the codes with a non-UK NNID. I think there's a way to fix that, but I don't know the details.

Damn, I read people outside the UK redeeming them so I assumed they worked in PAL territories. I'll have to look around and make a UK account.
- Here's hoping this works for WiiU people too, I'm not sure if you can change your system location though. However, adding a second NNID could fix it, as long as the codes aren't locked by IP. Hmm.
Edit: If not... faking a UK IP address could work. I'm just based in the UK though, i've had to do the opposite from time to time. Again, not sure.

Anyone got a spare animal crossing code? got a 9 hour flight on sunday, having a game to play would literally save my life.

Bet they made more money off this glitch than in the previous full week.
I'd have bought DK for 3DS myself.

Fuck, it pisses me off. I managed to get M&L before the mistake was fixed. I'm from mainland Europe but used a fake address and could proceed until the end of the purchasing process with no issues. I paid with PayPal. Got my order confirmation and PayPal payment mails so everything seemed fine.
However, minutes later I got an order cancelled mail from Nintendo ('we've cancelled your order as requested') and payment rejected mail from PayPal.
Just after ordering I could login the Nintendo store site and check my orders but after I got these mails i couldn't anymore: Not only they had cancelled my order but they also deleted my account altogether!
Now I see everyone here got their codes and it just pissed me off. Not so much the lost game - I'll get over it- but how they handled the whole situation and how it seemed to affect (randomly) only me. Any thoughts?

W101 is easily worth full price. I bought it day one and I regret nothing. In fact, I'm glad I've payed full price, because I want Platinum to know it was awesome and Nintendo to know it was a worthwhile investment. I recently bought and finished Metal Gear Rising on PC, and W101 was four times as expensive - but it's also at least four times as good, so it's perfectly fine.

Damn, I can't believe this happened! a shame I missed it, would've liked to pick up a few of them.

Yeah, it's all digital so it's (virtually) all profit, assuming none of the people who picked the games up for £8 would have ever bought them for £35-40.

Paid £28 for The Wonderful 101 about 3 days ago. Fucksticks.
