Since the eShop doesn't accept foreign credit cards, I'm looking for ways to get US eShop funding codes online. The ones I have found are: thecardcloset.com pcgamesupply.com maximuscards.com The Card Closet has the cheapest at $54 for $50 of credit. That's not bad but are there any cheaper methods?

The 8-bit Magica de Spell only ever shot lightning and turned into a vulture. This one has a handful of new attacks and patterns that get increasingly complex as she takes damage. It will still probably only take an hour to beat the whole game, but it looks like it's going to be a really great hour.

From what I understand, Alberta Canada is an anomaly in terms of credit card acceptance for whatever reason. I believe the other posters are simply talking about changing their region and buying North American eShop points via a reseller.

Ah, the Miyamoto mii for the Luigi Mansion eShop release.  I know it's a gimmick and all, but every time something like this happens I'm filled with this nonsensical warm and fuzzy feeling.

Platinum rewards are never digital are they? Always physical things that require shipment.

They've offered up one or two digital gold/platinum rewards in the past - Doc Louis' Punch-Out!! for WiiWare, some random VC games - but they're generally physical rewards, yeah.

I think last year they had the option of some normal vc games for download. Seemed like a ripoff compared to getting some unique swag you could resell if you didn't want, but if you can't have them send you things, it would work.

I'm talking about NA, they have digital rewards for gold status every month. But I think all the platinum rewards are physical.

PAL update (week of March 28):quote:WII U eSHOP Lots of 3DS retail downloads this week, and some of 'em are even reasonably priced! RE Mercenaries is gonna sell a ton at that price, I imagine. The 3DS Save Data Transfer Tool allows you to extract save data from your game cartridges in order to use it with your digital eShop games; this is a one-way transfer and will permanently erase the save data from the cart, so use with caution.

Doc Louis' Punch-Out!! was a platinum reward, and the 2012 gold reward let you choose from a bunch of VC games in a similar but not identical fashion to the regular digital rewards they offer every month.

Here's some proof that I'm not crazy. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/06/club-nintendos-2012-platinum-and-gold-prizes-revealed Lastly, a new option added for this year – games! Club Nintendo started offering game downloads a few months ago, so Platinum and Gold users can opt to ignore all of the physical prizes to instead score a free digital download instead. The games on offer are Super Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask from the Wii Virtual Console, Metroid II: Return of Samus from the 3DS Virtual Console and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! from DSiWare (only redeemable on a 3DS, though.) Note that if you go the game download route, you only get to pick one of these listed titles.

My confusion came from thinking you had to get gold status every month to receive games. I didn't realise that you only needed that for the rewards at the end of the Nintendo year. I'm not sure it's still limited to one game a month though? I just redeemed a reward game, I'm viewing a second at the moment and it's not giving any warning that I couldn't obtain it.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:PAL update (week of March 28) But on the other hand, i'm disappointed that they still haven't put Kid Icarus: Uprising on there yet. Literally every other first party game is on there, and the "but the stand" reasoning is stupid, as they are perfectly fine letting anyone who buys the game secondhand have to crawl through the game standless.

If you have the coins you can buy as much as you want. The items just rotate every month.

Nintendo doesn't care about the people buying it second hand. Though I do agree - I've played through Kid Icarus without the stand and it was fine. In fact I've used it more for art academy.

Does that mean when I use the app, I could get a digital version of the game for free, OR is it that I need to have the digital game at first, and I can transfer the cart's save file to the digital version? (I never heard TOO MUCH about the Transfer Tool, so I'm lost)

March 25th and Nintendo still haven't released Nintendoji to the eStore. I don't think there are any other gold/platinum Club Nintendo Japan members about, but I just wanted to vent (the release date they gave back in December was "March 2013")

A new 3DS firmware update just went live - it's mostly background stuff to prepare for the save transfer app, from the looks of things, but there are a couple other minor eShop/browser changes, too. EDIT: patch notes quote:Version 5.0.0-11U available via wireless Internet connection includes the following improvements: PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 26, 2013 |

That 3DS system update seems to be giving a not-insignificant subset of people trouble leading to an error code and the loss of ability to access both the eShop itself and System Settings. Beware.
