Only ones I've registered recently were the ones that got us free stuff. Like think Luigi's Mansion got us original Kid Icarus then something else got us Mario DX. Did we get anything for registering Wii U? How many did we need for that gold Link/Epona statue again? Random thought (at work so little else to do): Where is Daisy princess of?

They are all games that are already hosted on the eShop and that download codes can be issued for using existing infrastructure. The Club Nintendo offering in Europe isn't much better. I remember o nthe gamecube when you bought a game you used to get not just points but exclusive (and mostly useless but cool) content - Winamp skins, wallpapers, desktop buddies, printable Tshirt transfers and bookmarks. Stuff that cost them nothing but was nice to have. And the store used to have stuff in it that you wanted to get - I really love my Mario and Luigi kids car window shades, but they're 5 years old now and need replacing - instead of having 3 pages of whatever stuff they can't shift, and only updating it once in a blue moon. These rewards are supposed to be an incentive to buy lots of games, because it's the only way to get them. This round of rewards..... well if you want Game and Wario that badly you can save around $480 by just buying it directly! More if you buy Mariokart, sell it on and use the points to get G&W free... (I may have been overly swayed by the author's declaration at the bottom of the article of his intent to use Assassin's Creed III exclusively as his son's sole source of information on american history... I can but respect that...)

Some are worse, registering the Wii U went on and on and on. I have 1,600 stars in my account, I'm sure I've enough codes to reach 7,000, usually the mark for something cool when they actually have a product in stock but I'll be damned if I'm doing all those surveys. It was so much easier and hassle free during the Gamecube and Wii days. I also agree on the expiry issue as as well.

CiDeRmAn wrote: » Really? So you can register the one console to four different accounts? That's interesting. Have you done this before? Edit : never mind, just saw how, very good. Question now is where did you get four copies of Mario Kart 8, and wouldn't it be better to trade them into CEX s and get physical copies of games instead of digital downloads?
ShadowHearth wrote: » Its hard to say. Monster hunter 3 was the first in series I played. I have already 80h played on 3DS, now I am starting from the scratch on Wii U :pac:. Why is it hard to say? If I could I would put a gun to each gammers head and MAKE them to try monster hunter and play it more then 2h tutorial, but I realise that is a very specific game. The start of the game is ass and I was trying to run through it as fast as possible. It picks up when you start your first big Monster quest. It is hoarders and loot whore game at its best. You will be grinding in it a lot, but I think that it is a fun grinding. Killing big monster is always very satisfying no matter how many times you kill it. You will need to learn a TON of stuff to play it. UI and and mechanics are not explained well, but if you stick to it, it will make sense. Just dont be surprised if you will be looking for info online or on forums. So I am back to square one lol. Its hard to recommend, but I would still insist on people to at least do little research on it. Have a look at Jared videos on it. He does a great review and videos on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08fAk8yyRA4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvNA-ocsiMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6iYOHaGGKk

Allyall wrote: » Thanks, I had seen it whizzing by me, but hadn't given it much attention . It looks good, actually looks much much better than I had thought, going to buy it tonight. REVIEW HERE if anyone wants to read it. Also going to buy Earthbound, as I had forgotten that's on special since yesterday.

I never played Monster Hunter before the Wii-U version so a complete novice myself, but it's a great game once you can give it some time. ProJared's videos are great. He's done some gameplay ones of MH4 coming out next year over here on 3DS I think - looks really good.@ShadowHearth - do you know if you can transfer MH3U saves back and forth between Wii-U and 3DS? Or is it just one way from 3DS to Wii-U? I was tempted to pick up the handheld version if I'm able to continue my game on that.
