In order to become a Club Nintendo member, you need to register at least one registerable Nintendo system or boxed game on the Club Nintendo website. You can find a red product registration card inside the packaging of all current Nintendo systems and many Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, Wii and Nintendo DS games – enter the printed code on the Product Registration section of the Club Nintendo and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Please note that download versions of games downloaded from Nintendo eShop cannot be registered if the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system used to download them is not first linked to a Club Nintendo account; as such, they cannot be used to become a Club Nintendo member. Also, some older boxed titles may no longer be registrable, as product registration codes can expire.
You can find details of how to link your Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system to your Club Nintendo account on our Nintendo 3DS Support page.
It is important that you allow 24 hours after linking your Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system to your Club Nintendo account before downloading any titles from Nintendo eShop, to ensure that they are successfully registered to your account.
Providing the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system that you download them to is connected to your Club Nintendo account, any download versions of games downloaded fromNintendo eShop will be added to the My Registered Games and Systems section of your Club Nintendo account page. You can then visit this page and click the 'Claim Stars for this download' link to complete the registration survey as normal.
The registration survey must be completed by 11.59pm on 30 June 2013 for any eligible download version to count toward this promotion. Please also note that download versions of games downloaded from Nintendo eShop cannot be registered if the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system used to download them is not first linked to a Club Nintendo account. For more information, please see the How To Buy Games page of our website.
Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL bundle packs that include pre-installed versions of games come with two Club Nintendo registration codes: one for the hardware and one for the software. Registering the code for the pre-installed software, providing that software is one of the eight eligible games, counts towards the three games required to claim a free download code.
Game registrations are retroactive; any eligible game registered with Club Nintendo before the promotion was announced, including download versions, counts towards the three registrations required to claim a free download code.
Yes, you can – any of the eight games in the promotion can be chosen as your free game, even those already registered to enter the promotion.
As soon as you receive it. Codes will be sent out as soon as possible following your claim – if you have selected a game that is unavailable to buy at time of claiming, you will receive the code shortly after the local release of that game.
You can use your free code to download your chosen game onto any Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS system with access to Nintendo eShop via an Internet connection (acceptance of the Nintendo 3DS Service User Agreement and Privacy Policy required). You cannot, however, download the same game onto multiple Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL systems.

Please also remember that claimants must be aged 16 or over to enter this promotion; Club Nintendo users aged 15 and under will not be able to see the promotional banner, even if three eligible games are registered to their account.
When you receive the code depends on the game you choose as your free download; codes for games that are unavailable to buy will be sent out as soon as possible following their release in South Africa.
Claimants must be aged 16 or over to enter this promotion; games registered to Club Nintendo accounts held by members aged 15 and under will not count towards the promotion.
If it is less than seven days since you claimed your free download code, please be patient – while we aim to send you a code as soon as possible after registration, there may be an unexpected delay in the email process.
