Mighty Switch Force (3DS) code, quote to reveal:


Only game in the bundle I already have. If only I got a code for MSF2, or for the WiiU remake! Oh well.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Thanks for this. People in this thread man.

Whoah. Have Sony/Microsoft done anything similar?

This is the first console HB, ever.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

...you have three accounts to get around said region lock, friendio.

On one console, with seamless switching between accounts. And once I buy a game from one store (say JPN) I can use it on my main USA account...and the console can play discs from any region. Hardly much of a "region lock," compared to the bullshit Nintendo propagates.

 

[KarmaCow]

I'd be in for Guacamelee if didn't already own the vanilla and upgraded edition on Steam. Hopefully there is something good added next week.

 

[foltzie1]

Hummm I see, but if I dont have a 3ds can I give my codes to another person?

Officially no, but there is nothing that prevents you from doing so and you get each games code separately.

 

[EmiPrime]

When this comes to Europe it will probably include a free Ness amiibo, a Skullkid figurine and a postcard from Shibata. NOE have been good to us lately, I can wait.

 

[Zero²]

The answer to this query is yes.

Amazing, I'll get it as quick as I get home

Eh mostly because I wont use them anyway, so I'll give them to my nephews ^^

 

[foxuzamaki]

I should do this when I get home. Omg this is so exciting.

 

[fernoca]

Nice, ready have 2 of the games in the $10 tier but is more than worth it.


Remember that you can redeem online for 3DS and Wii U will download if they're on sleep. If they're not, you can still go to your download history. Better than redeeming each code individually on the eShop.

[TheMoon]

Ah, didn't see that. Well, my opinion isn't completely void, region-locking is still shitty and why Nintendo works the way it does is still a mystery to me.

And we always agreed on the bolded so all is well.

 

[dead souls]

Cool and easily worth $10 to me. Time to plug in my Wii U gamepad.

Holy shit

This needs to be in the OP

 

[ajjow]

Hi, ive never had any kind of contact with these "indie bundles" because im always home console only, so i have a few questions:

1) Im brasil here, but my eshop is set for canada (as every brasilian wiiu owner should do). Can i buy the games and redeem em?

2) By the way... do i have to buy it on the website and they will email me the codes? Or is it on the eshop?

3) Let me se if i understood the prices:
* i pay between $1 and $9.23 = I get 3 games
* i pay between $9.23 and 9.99 = i get 6 games
* i pay $10 or more = i get all the games
Is that right?

Im from brazil and it did work for me. Im on nintendo eshop from canada.

You have to do all the process through you web browser. Youll receive an email with the codes.

Wow, I was dreading typing these into my consoles. This was just copy and paste, awesome!

lol @ region locking in 2015

 

[Aostia]

too bad for me in EU, but still very nice surprise, really!

 

[rjc571]

Interesting to see Nintendo get involved with Humble, but the only game included so far that I want but don't already have in some form is Stealth Bastard 2 (which I plan on getting for PC at some point anyway). Though I am mildly interested in checking out the 3DS version of Steamworld Dig for the 3D effect and second screen map.

 

[Kiote]

Can't believe people are surprised by region lock.. Of course it's region locked. The consoles are region locked. There is no way Humble Bundle would be able to handle disseminating codes for every region on the fly.

 

[Rolodzeo]

Region locking is the worst invention ever made.

God, it must be a super frustrating experience to work at Nintendo and try to drag the execs screaming and kicking into the 21st century.

Godspeed to the ground level guys trying to make this happen.

 

[Chû Totoro]

I've just asked Shibata to make the same offer available for Europe. It'll come

Spoiler

or not :'(

Oh and very good deal for everyone in the glorious Americas

Spoiler

Brazil seems to be on another planet?!?

.
Don't miss the chance to play all these awesome games for this little money. You'll have a lot of fun!

[Diddy Kong]

A step in the right direction for Nintendo. Region locking be damned (said they were already working on it, let it go for now)

 

[NahaNago]

pretty cool and bought. I hope nintendo tries this more often.

 

[BroggieDoge]

How does moon work? I had purchased the first episode but never the season pass... Do I redeem this code then the pass will unlock in game menu? Or is it only for the first episode?

 

[Crayolan]

I get the feeling the different regional branches of Nintendo have very poor communications amongst each other...

On the bright side, I finally get to play Guacamelee and Mighty Switch Force!

 

[Stilton Disco]

This is almost awesome!

But then Nintendo Nintendo'd it. As usual, only they can take a perfectly brilliant idea and still manage to totally bugger it it.

Fuck region locks, and sod Nintendo's continued insistence on it.

Of course they could. They'd just need for Nintendo to give them codes of other regions as well. Duh.

I dunno guy, nothing changed for me. Nintendo's inability to co-ordinate shit between regions and or not fucking region locking shit to start with isn't my problem (well it is, but fuck em)

 

[DriftedPlanet]

Great buy for those of us in the Americas. Immediately picked it up. Hopefully big N will support Europe and other territories soon.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I doubt they can retro-actively update the 3DS and Wii U to be region free. I remember somewhere them saying it's due to licensing that they're unable to even consider doing that.

 

[GWX]

If they add Shovel Knight I'll up the amount of money I donated, which is currently 10 bucks. Great deal, amazing to have HB on consoles.

Shovel Knight or Shantae would be amazing.

 

[nampad]

First of all, hats up for Nintendo being the first platform holder to jump on the humble bundle train.
Secondly, why are they half assing it again by making it region locked?

This is just Ep 1.

Ok cool thanks.

 

[ajjow]

I have two games to give

Mighty switch force for 3ds and guacamelle for wii u. Send me a private message.

 

[GeeDuhb]

I am very happy as an American, even though I own about half of these.

I wonder what the extra games are going to be?

I am with you. I am still going to buy it, just to support them doing this! Bravo Nintendo!

Read the thread, the last page for instance.

 

[Haunted]

The worst part is that the shits who cockblocked making this a globally available initiative (like every other Humble Bundle ever made was) will be able to point at the middling sales (since it's just one region) and say "see, we were right! we're making more money continuing our regular eshop sales without these discounts."


/worst case imagination

 

[Harusame]

I have never actually bought anything from Humble Bundle, but this looks really enticing. I have none of the games listed, so I might actually get this.

Can we get this in the first post so we don't get these fucking region lock post constantly?

 

[patientx]

Perk(s) of owning a NTSC console on Europe.
I didn't have any of these games and I recently upgraded my 3DS to N3DS too

Also...

Best HUMBLE BUNDLE Ever !

 

[TheMoon]

Because they tried full-assing it for months and it didn't work out. See tweet posted all across this and previous page.

 

[flux1]

I think there is little chance something like Shovel Knight would get bundled this soon. Especially for two platforms with separate keys.

I guess Trine will be included as its been in several bundles already.
