Just dropped $10 on the Spring Sale yesterday morning. Gonna get Guacamelee and Mighty Switch Force for a buck today.
I really should've jumped on the Humble Bundle train MUCH sooner.

Now you guys know how I felt when I couldn't even access the Humble SEGA bundle because I live in Japan.
If I didn't have a US WiiU I would miss out on this one too.
Region locking is evil.

Still I am proud of Nintendo for allowing this bundle at all. Baby steps...

Now this is probably a dumb question but can I buy the bundle now and activate the codes later this year when I actually buy a 3DS/WiiU and set up an account?
They don't like expire do they?

Are you going to consider off time where there's no bundle a "shit deal" too?

I doubt Sony will start region locking their consoles. Don't know about Microsoft.

Reading some posts here, it's like region locking on 3DS/WiiU started with this bundle... Yeah, it's shitty, but it's nothing new. I don't really get why it's worth derailing this thread specifically.
Not talking about region-locking, but doing humble bundles.

Hell yeah, it'd be a shit deal, for everyone! That'd be a few days where less money is given to charity! Lose/Lose.

Not actually that important
Sucks ballz I can't partake in this.
But I applaud NOA for making this possible.
Everyone should put down $10 because the WiiU version of Stealth Inc 2 is AMAZING. A no brainer if you still haven't played Steamworld Dig (do it on 3DS, best version out there by far imo, tho I suppose you could still play it on the U with the map constantly on the gamepad).
Either way, $10 gets you so many brilliant games. So. Many.
Now please fuck the right off dear Nintendo, NOE and your asinine region lock and unwillingness to work out a deal with Humble Bundle for us eurofolks

I have all the games that interest me (just stealth Inc. 2, lol) but I may buy it.
Hopefully Sony and MS will follow eventually.

Do these codes expire? I'm all over this, but I won't have access to my Wii U for several days - just want to make sure there's no redeem countdown once the codes are active. This is my first time using Humble Bundle!
Love the concept of it, though - and love the charity they support. This is such an awesome program. I sincerely hope my non-American brethren and sistren get this expanded out to them soon <3

All the previous Humble Bundles have been globally available instead of exclusive to a single region.
There were cases where a game that wasn't available in a certain region was included in a bundle - in those cases, the affected regions got a replacement game.

You can actually redeem your codes online:

If your Wii U isn't in sleep mode you can just go to the redownload page when you have a chance and DL the software. Cheers!

The site says more games are going to be announced, if I pay the $10 now will I get the games they have yet to announce as well, or should I just wait till all are out?

This sucks.
Contrary to popular opinion this does not suck, the games are great and a lot of cash goes to charity.

Hmm so can you only set up a NNID from a 3DS or Wii U then?
Because that means I'd still have to wait until I have one then.
I'll probably just bite as it's good to support these anyways and try my luck
Thanks for the help anyways!
There is no chance that happens.

This is good to know since I wont be getting my new HDD until thursday at the earliest, but knowing me I would forget, is there a expiration date?
But I have one question. I didn't purchase WiiU console right now, So can I redeem my WiiU game code through this?
(Edit) Oops. I couldn't. Without link with WiiU console, It can't be redeemable.

It's not Humble Bundle. NOA put it together and couldn't get the other regions to agree.
Maybe all the proceeds from this bundle are actually going to fund the creator of Meme Run's anticopyright lawsuit legal defense.

Wow I've wanted Guacamelee for a while just never had a good opportunity to get it.
Will drop at least $10 to get everything though!

This is not true. I could not take advantage of the SEGA bundle because I lived in Japan and no alternate was offered.
But yeah, I still hate that people are missing out on this. I don't know if the best thing to do is be mad at Nintendo though. Fantastic deal with money going to a good charity that only part of the world can take advantage of is better than no bundle and no money to charity. If in the future NoE offers something similar just for Europe I will be very happy to see that even if I cannot partake.
I imagine Sony or PSN would have similar problems offering the bundle worldwide. The difference is that anyone can make an American PSN account, but I am not sure Sony/MS wants to encourage that more than they already do.
Sadly, no. I just tested with another WiiU codes, This can't be redeemable without link with WiiU console on your NNID.
It is a humble bundle. That's exactly what it is.
I think the poster was saying that is wasn't Humble Bundle setting the region-locking stipulation - as in don't place blame on HB for this offer being region-locked.

It's specifically Nintendo of America that's responsible for this. And it sounds like they'd rather not keep future eShop Bundles limited to the Americas if they can help it.
