Well FUCK I just got a library of games for my new 3DS.

 

[Volcynika]

You can.

It's allegedly a gigantic pain in the ass, but you technically can. IIRC it has something to do with factory resets and a second memory card and shit.

Changing accounts to use different region digital content is the absolute worst thing of the Vita. Decided to never bother with it and if I import, it is a physical game that I don't want DLC of.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but you can use the web interface to redeem these codes and save some time: https://eshop.nintendo.net/redeem#/

 

[Lights and Waves]

I got one! So happy this kind of thing exists!

Been mentioned but not included in the OP for some reason so it's good that you're bringing it up again.

 

[jimi_dini]

Oh, man, I love how the availability of this Humble Bundle just completely invalidates it as a positive, forward-thinking initiative. The hyperbole here is at peak capacity.

This is the very first console Humble Bundle ever offered, it's full of fantastic games, NoA's indie rep has stated that they aimed for all regions and will offer all regions eventually.

But it's Nintendo!!! we can't celebrate that they did something great for once and before everyone else. We need to find something negative about it and burn them instead!!!
/sarcasm

I totally agree with your post. Props to Nintendo. And I have a feeling that if Iwata stays up on top until the next console, it's going to be region free.

And to be honest, I'm actually sort of happy that it's US only.... because I just bought Stealth Inc 2 for Wii U

 

[Card Boy]

Yeah charity or no charity fuck you Nintendo for the region lock. Bias as fuck bundle. I don't care if it's being said 50 times already.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Cool! 10 bucks for a neat bunch of games though I think I now own Guacamelee on every platform known to man. lol

I had to lower the volume when putting in all the codes in the Wii U eshop. That music was kinda annoying. Is that Splatoon music?

 

[Frodo]

NoE... Pleeeeease!

Yep, Splatoon. And...

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.

Did it all on my phone.

Awesome! Will bu....ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

But do we get it? Because if these are US codes I'm dubious that they work outside USA, unless these are some sort of "panregional" codes.

The humble support page is odd:
https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/206177517
Brazil should be the 4th country with a full eShop...IIRC it doesn't have a Wii U eShop which I guess is why it is not listed.

Also they call limited eShops ambassador eShops for some reason. I guess because they have the Ambassador games, patches and nothing else (at least that is how Turkey is in PAL regions, distributor in that country stopped distributing shortly after launch).

Now if you wanted to extend this to PAL you would have another two sets of codes "Europe" (UK, the Republic of Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Russia, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Norway, Sweden, and South Africa and I think Czech Republic despite the NOE support page denying it) and then Oceania (Australia and New Zealand half the games probably are not out there anyway...).

Humble Bundle have managed to do region specific things in the past (well Germany specific actually) but the NOA tweet shows that wasn't the problem.

Thanks for this

 

[bengraven]

Also, just FYI but with the major AAA publishers' Bundles the average went up quick. This is fucking NINTENDO. Better beat the average quicker than Sonic...

 

[Maiden Voyage]

This is awesome! I never expected Nintendo systems to be featured on Humble Bundle.

This needs to be in the OP, this makes redemption just as easy as on Steam.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Region lock aside, it's nice to see Nintendo ahead of the curve for once.

 

[mj1108]

People can't read. NOA tried to make this happen with other regions.

https://twitter.com/DWBakes/status/603279625666433024

The licensing guy for Nintendo tried for months to make it global.

 

[Speedwagon]

Awesome. I've never purchased an indie game on Nintendo, so this'll give me a nice collection.

 

[alexbull_uk]

Aw, I'd love to see this for everywhere else.

 

[DangerMan]

Free OlliOlli Wii U key, hope I can just post it like this without getting in trouble.

EDIT: Put in an e-mail tag.

 

[sd28821]

Seems pretty cool but since i live in the uk a cant use this .

It would be nice to be able to make multiple different regional accounts to get around region locking like on Sony and Microsoft consoles so i could make use of this offer.

Hopefully they can make a European deal at some point.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Bought so hard. So glad this exists, I've got AT coming up and needed some games for the long haul.

Pro tip: codes are usually posted in email tags so only registered users can see them (by quoting the post)

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Isn't this a NoA thing? Why be mad at 'Nintendo' ? How about NoE step up and do something similar?

Interesting. In this case I guess it's kind of a weird situation for those outside Canada, Mexico or USA and the same could happen in Europe.

Perhaps there was issue with some of these games not being available in Europe?

 

[mStudios]

Anyone has a extra copy of OllieOllie for 3ds? That is the only game i want ;-;

 

[Jme]

I live in the US and I don't see any problem with this.

 

[Dwight Schrute]

EU am cry

 

[Ally of Justice]

Well, this is unexpected. It's pretty nice, although the only game I really want is Mighty Switch Force. I have no Wii U and I already have everything else...

 

[maxcriden]

This was probably already covered, but in terms of the suggestion in the OP to use the B/S/T thread for unwanted keys, I thought it was frowned upon to re-sell Humble Bundle keys in that thread?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Awesome to see NoA do this. I'll be dropping $10 for sure. Hopefully all branches of Nintendo get on board next time.

 

[DangerMan]

Pro tip: codes are usually posted in email tags so only registered users can see them (by quoting the post)

Thanks, in an e-mail tag now. Don't think it has been used yet either.

 

[Pie and Beans]

A region locked Humble Bundle. The fucking darkest timeline.

 

[Fularu]

Paid 10$ even though I already own all the games on various systems

Great first step

 

[maxcriden]

Thanks, in an e-mail tag now. Don't think it has been used yet either.

Someone has taken it, but I'll gladly thank you in case they don't. Thanks!

 

[stalker]

I buy all my indie on the Vita; even for the ones that are first on Wii U / 3DS I wait for Vita version and sales. But for this price I would double dip for sure, if only this was available in Europe :-(

 

[TSM]

I'm tempted to throw a couple bucks for Guacamelee, but I already have it for the PC. You know you have a problem when your OCD kicks in and you are looking at purchasing a game a second time just to get a little extra content.

 

[Gav47]

First non DRM free games and now region locking, Humble Bundle have fallen so far.

 

[Mr.McFist]

I went from excited to disappointed... region locking!

 

[cacildo]

Over 10,000 bundles sold already.

is that a lot?

(dont know a lot about indie bundles - but in this case i got mine)

 

[Maiden Voyage]

You don't have to buy every bundle.

 

[foltzie1]

Filthy pragmatists. You are going to tell me next that these games wont register on Steam either?

 

[Ogimachi]

Region locked DRM bundles supporting only one possible charity. When did Humble Bundle become so shitty?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Free Guacamelee code pm me to get it. CLAIMED!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Region locked DRM bundles supporting only one possible charity. When did Humble Bundle become so shitty?

Pay what you want for a bundle of good games and help out charity along the way. I see absolutely nothing "shitty" about that.
