Support NeoGAF

[James Scott]

They just started popping up. Seems to cover most games, at least the first party ones.

Based on eShop prices, so it's more expensive to buy...say Splatoon digitally, but The Wonderful 101 is cheaper
Wonderful 101: $29.99 vs $43.
A few aren't available to purchase till tomorrow for some reason.
Thanks to Wario64 and Jon Faust on twitter

Is the feud over?

Was there ever a Amazon/Nintendo feud?

Pretty cool to see digital games on Amazon. I've always liked how Amazon had digital PSN store codes.

 

[hwy_61]

That's great! I prefer to buy all my digital games from Amazon, so this works for me

they don't carry the Wii U and certain 3DSs, IIRC. But they started carrying the new 3DS and now this

 

[darkside31337]

Real question is when are they going to start selling digital eshop cards

 

[noshten]

About time this happened

Also Pikmin physical price might go down bit because of this

 

[Platy]

I wonder if they only work for USA accounts or every part of america like the humble bundle

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Do we still not have xenoblade chronicles for NA Wii U eshop?

 

[NateDrake]

Do we still not have xenoblade chronicles for NA Wii U eshop?

Nope.

 

[Isotope]

This so so badly.

 

[Curler]

Better than getting eShop cards for a fixed amount and always having a bit left over later! Hope the selection expands MUCH bigger.

 

[MissileTrick]

Pretty neat even if I don't download too many games.

I'll probably grab a few of the smaller games off of here if I'm low on eshop funds and if they get added.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Do these codes work in Canada?

[Otakumegane]

So no tax huh.

 

[GearDraxon]

...dammit. I just got my New 3DS, and bought a bunch of games on the eShop. I could saved a few %!

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

This is good. I like it.

 

[kswiston]

Do these codes work in Canada?

I'd be curious to know as well (but my guess is no). With our shitty exchange rate, most are much cheaper to just buy from the Canadian eshop.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

So can you actually buy these with amazon gift credit? I know that there was eShop cards that required a credit card (and it was a physical card!)so thats why I'm asking. Only limited selection, but this feature might come in handy one time or another.

They need to have a match first. Reggie vs Amazon Delivery Guy. The match will start late because Reggie isn't a prime member so the delivery guy will come to the match late.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

They need to start selling digital codes for Nintendo points.

 

[NoKisum]

Does this mean I can gift digital games if I wish?

 

[Unai]

Does this work in the Canadian eShop, or only in the USA one?

 

[iBlue]

A code from amazon us works on a us/mex/can account.

 

[GearDraxon]

Does this mean I can gift digital games if I wish?

It appears to associate it with your "Amazon Digital Purchases" thing, so it doesn't look like you can gift them.

Edit: Unless you mean just emailing a friend a code... the code will likely appear in the library.

 

[astrogamer]

You could have done that from Nintendo.com. Just look for this list here and after you get the code, send it to your friend

 

[Lexxism]

My gut tell me 'yes'. Both countries are in the same region. The digital game should work on Canadian eshop.

 

[Red Devil]

A code from amazon us works on a us/mex/can account.

So they work with all of the americas? That's nice if true. Hope they add VC titles down the line.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

This is awesome.

 

[iBlue]

So they work with all of the americas? That's nice if true. Hope they add VC titles down the line.

Yep, it's the same with psn game codes. The eshop codes are the ones that are restriced by country.

 

[Etria]

They need to start selling digital codes for Nintendo points.

That would be amazing. Then I can freely purchase from the US eShop with minimal fuss and without going through other sellers. Importing just got that much easier!

 

[FearMyWrench]

Are we 100% sure re: working in Canada? I know that eShop credit codes are NOT cross compatible between CA and US for example.

 

[Jotamide]

Looking for Amazon gift card deals might be the only way get deep eShop discounts now.

 

[Roto13]

Do these codes work in Canada?

I'd be curious to know as well (but my guess is no). With our shitty exchange rate, most are much cheaper to just buy from the Canadian eshop.

They should. I've redeemed a ton of codes from US PR companies on my Canadian eShop account and they've always worked fine. I don't think any codes like that are locked by country, aside from currency codes.

 

[CesspoolofHatred]

Whole lotta "Currently Unavailable" right now.

Was this a thing Nintendo and Amazon were going to announce, and it just went up kinda early?

By looking at some of the 3DS pages in OP (and others for Wii U), it seems they're available now (even Yoshi's New Island, which was unavailable a few hours ago).

 

[Mpl90]

Also, let's try to list all the Digital Codes for Wii U (the OP list for 3DS looks complete enough)

Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland [VC]
Zelda: The Minish Cap [VC]
Mario Kart 8: Bundle Pack [DLC]

[cacildo]

Wait

Why would it be better to buy it from amazon than from the eshop?

(And what about that canadian situation?)

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Being able to use Amazon gift card credit is probably part of it.

For one, eShop USA accounts dont accept international cc's

 

[hwy_61]

Bingo

Being able to use Amazon gift card credit is probably part of it.

I see....

and what about sales? Do these digital games for other systems usually get good prices?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is this the only way to gift digital games on the eShop service?

 

[hwy_61]

Is this the only way to gift digital games on the eShop service?

I guess so! Same goes for MS and Sony right? Still no gifting on those platforms?

 

[Peltz]

Is this the only way to gift digital games on the eShop service?

I think the answer is yes, unless you count eShop cards.

 

[Gaspard]

Now to do pre-order discounts on digital titles like Amazon.co.jp!

 

[Javier]

Pokemon ORAS is available for 3DS as well.

 

[Lexxism]

Is this the only way to gift digital games on the eShop service?

I think Nintendo.com store can also give gifts since you get a code if you didn't sign with your account (?)

 

[Daknight]

FINALLY!! For some stupid reason the Nintendo Eshop wouldn't accept credit cards from Puerto Rico, now I can buy them this way instead of having to buy eshop cards all the time!

 

[GulAtiCa]

I hope they start selling digital only games soon from indies for Wii U/3DS.
