Guess I'm picking up MH3 in that sale that's going on. Was going to see if there's another sale here first, but looks like I'm ok picking that up.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition is available on the US eShop for the next four days! Maybe Nintendo wants more users to create a NNID, since you require one in order to download free demos/games.

oh damn, nice. Shiiiit I guess I can't download it without an NNID, right?

(I already have it on my XL, but I would dl it on my OG 3DS... but I'd need to make a second NNID for that...)

Didn't see it was a DSi game; thought it was the original GBA title.

Ah, got ya. The original GBA title was never released separately, it was part of A Link to the Past on GBA. And Minish Cap was the ambassador game, not LttP.

Here's some more info on the offer: http://www.nintendo.com/eshop/offers/#4swords

Nintendo's going into "Disney Vault" mode, huh? "Grab it while you can: when the offer ends, it might be a while before you see the game again in Nintendo eShop."

Nothing in Europe. Anyway, stealth release NOA at its finest. Two in one day.

I wonder this is what you're getting instead of Super Mario Bros. DX.
I'd much prefer Four Swords. It probably wouldn't push me into make an NNID though meaning I wonder have it.

I wonder if they'll similarly reopen the vault for Donkey Kong - Original Edition, perhaps when DKCTF comes out?
Click to expand...
But that might upset people who bought a digital version of Paper Mario Sticker Star for it.
I guess its better than buying a Red Wii and having it stuck in 50Hz.

I guess if it occasionally replaces Donkey Kong on the VC that would be cool. But realistically I wouldn't hold hope of other promotions any time soon as this Zelda one has a clear parallel.

"To celebrate #LinkBetweenWorlds, Four Swords Anniv. Ed. is available for free in the #3DS #eShop now through 2/2. #4Swords4Days4Free"

So the deal is to celebrate ALBW, so why are not they not giving away ALttP lol, I only had to pay an upgrade fee but would been nice if it was 30 cent or free on WiiU for 3 days

Not worthy of a new thread, but I figure people in here might be booting up their Wii Us, just wondering if anyone's having trouble connecting to Miiverse right now, it's spitting back Error 115-3028 at me right now. I was able to buy a bunch of games on the eShop so it's probably not a connectivity problem.

Yay! Looking forward to lttp on the Gamepad before bed tonight. Got my $1.50 all ready. I so wanted to play it on wii mode this last month but I'm glad I waited.

Anyway... to resolve my conundrum earlier, I decided to make a US NNID for my old 3DS. I'm locking myself out of making any purchases on that system, but to be honest it's been more than a year since I got the XL and I haven't made any yet. At least this way I can download free software, and check the US eShop charts. Plus I can give some lucky local StreetPassers a new region, potentially.

Now Nintendo is just taunting us. SMB3 has been "coming soon" in the E-shop for months, and what do they finally release!? Mario Bros.

piss off Nintendo of America.

Instead of SMB3, NOA's bean counters are apparently hoping that in the meantime enough people will be stupid enough to A) pay five dollars for NES Mario Bros Arcade B) magically forget we already got the game for FREE in the form of Luigi Bros on SM3DW.

I don't think there's any logic intended by the bean counters. If there was there would be a better release schedule in the first place.

It's also immediately available to those who have New Luigi U, so for me it was an instant, free bonus the day I bought 3DW. I actually really enjoy playing it to unwind after, my score is currently a little over 93,000, still can't seem to crack 100K

Sure there's a logic. It's a very dumb, stingy logic which I just described. It's called desperately trying to milk a few extra sales on a lesser game before SMB3 is released because apparently they think American fans are easier to fool for a quick, impulse purchase unlike NCL and NOE customers. Or they're just being dumb, sure, I guess.
