3ds game codes

wilser

Are the scratch cards that come with the ds games good for anything?
Just got my sons 3ds back up and running and he has a few of these codes from his games and because of his age, he's 9, he hasn't used any of these or set up the ds for anything online.
Is it worth setting these up for him or are they a gimmick? Think I need to set up a club Nintendo account for him/me to use them.
Thanks

Those scratch cards get you Stars for the Club Nintendo catalogue. Generally they can be traded for knick-knacks.

Most games are worth 250 stars, a console is worth 1000.

if he's got a 3DS and one of the games is Pokemon Omega Ruby , Pokemon Alpha Sapphire or Super Smash Bros, and if you have the scratch card for the 3DS you can get a free game for registering the game and console before January 12th -

By the way, the name of the game the cards came from is written in black down the edge of the rear of the scratch card for 3DS games.

He has Pokemon alpha sapphire so I will give it a whirl.

If you still have the card from the 3DS and you register that with Pokemon Alpha Sapphire you can get a free game.

Edit: never mind, skimmed the other post, ha. Either way, not a bad deal. I got Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds from it.

Cheers for the tip, just got him Zelda.
EDIT: nevermind, found a memory card that will do.
