Kid Icarus AR Cards on Club Nintendo

    250 points for 2 packs of 6. Got myself 28 packs, probably not a wise thing to do but sure:p

    Anyone else get any? They won't be available in stores but you do get a pack free with every copy of Kid Icarus: Uprising and apparently you can watch them fight on your 3DS. Reminds me of the old days with Pokemon cards:D

    They could go for a fortune on ebay in 6 months too....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭jaydoxx


    Do you think so? I figured people would just print them off the internet:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,754 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I was wondering about that myself. Would they work if you just printed them out like the ones that came with the 3DS? Don't see how these cards could be different.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,120 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord


    Yeah, the camera on the 3DS won't be able to tell the difference!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,754 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Cool! Though I doubt Nintendo will officially post them if they can make money from them.

    Nintendo certainly won't. But fans on the other hand?:rolleyes:

    If you're considering getting a sizeable number of packs, you should consider this to save your points. It will take a little longer, but it's useful if you're short on stars

    Make a new account, and register one code, which is mandatory to open an account. When you open a new account, you'll be given 250 points bonus, so that way you'll get 500 points for registering one game. i.e. Buy one get one free!

    If you're registering a game with only 200 points value, put your birthday as sometime in the near future. I know next day won't work, try a date later than that as I'm not exactly sure what gap there must be between registration and the 50 star birthday bonus.

    Repeat as you please.

    Ordered them. I'll keep them sealed and sell them on Ebay in fifty years or so.

    A sound investment.

    I know one person who ordered two and they got the same 6 cards twice.

    I ordered my first packet yesterday, interested to see what arrives, although I also spent 2,500 points on those proper Nintendo cards....

    Someone bought them on adverts for €15. I must say they looked pretty class.

    How are people finding the actual game (cant find a thread on it..)?

    I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and ordering it from Amazon today. Whats the multiplayer like, seems like a lot of fun?

    Games threads are moved to Games > Games so it was moved there.
    I've been hearing it's great, but that's from Nintendo fans.

    Anyone have any spare/duplicate codes they want to trade? :pac:
    Got duplicate codes for Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Professor Layton + the Curious Village, Big Brain Academy Wii + Wii Fit.

    Such a pity you can't register more than one :(

    Hope this isn't too off topic...:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,233 ✭✭✭robman60


    ^I can give you a DS console code (500 stars) and a Mystery Case Files Millionheir code (250 stars) in exchange for Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy Wii, and Wii Fit.

    You can register two DS consoles per account so even if you've already registered one you still can again.

    Also, before we exchange codes make sure yours are in date.

    No, it doesn't. The last couple of things I've ordered with the BT1 1AA trick have taken a little under three weeks. I suspect there'll be a slight delay now because there's been high demand for the Kid Icarus AR cards.

    There's a Nintendo magazine doing AR cards for Kid Icarus this week/month/insert release period here. Didn't see which one it was as I was shepherding an unruly 3 year old but it looked like the official Ninty magazine, and it mentioned the word "exclusive" beside the phrase AR Card, though that may just mean you can't buy 'em in the shops.

    yeah, must be cos you can't buy them. i think 2 of the cards are the same for everyone and the other 4 are random...possibly.
    might actually pick the mag up for them :pac: might help suck me into buying the game already...(my backlog really does hate me at this stage :O)

    just realised my wii was linked to my old club nintendo account (from back in the days of the gamecube :cool: ) so my downloads on that showed up there....unlinked and relinked with my new account i actually use, they didn't transfer :( i wouldn't mind so much if there wasn't 700 stars worth of surveys to do (50 for each game) on it :( i didn't even know i got stars for my wii downloads! :o
    anyone got any experience with club nintendo customer service and how nice they might be? wondering my chances of getting them transferred over.

    nintendo and it's backwards online strikes again...

    I think you're best to try to contact them by phone at +44 (0)845 60 50 247 than by email. I've probably emailed them five times (mainly about one thing) and I've never received a reply, not to mention any assistance.

    Also, has anyone who ordered these cards received them yet?

    I ordered mine two weeks ago no and still not a word,they are also still up on the stars page to order so hopefully Nintendo have not run out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,134 ✭✭✭gubbie


    I ordered mine 4 weeks ago and haven't got them. Read somewhere that nintendo usually take 3 - 6 months to get things sent out. Dunno if there's any truth in that though.

    Nintendo of Europe has confirmed that it has entered a distribution partnership with Panini that will see the AR Idol cards for Kid Icarus Uprising being released across stores. Previously, the AR cards were only really available via Club Nintendo and special promotions. Now collecting them all will get a whole lot easier (and more expensive).

    I don't even have the game yet but my wallet doesn't like the sound of that :P

    Currently got spare codes for New Super Mario Bros Wii, Mario kart 7, Pokemon White, Zelda OOT (may or may not be a system code..) and 3 codes for Professor Layton + the Curious Village.
    Someone must be interested. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,233 ✭✭✭robman60
