Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Purchase Pikmin 3 And Receive A 30% eShop Discount On The Wonderful 101 (Europe Exclusive)

Locknuts on 18 July 2013

Very tempting, but I like my boxed copies. I will probably end up paying the same price at retail as the eshop with discounts anyway. If they're totally addictive games though, I might download them just to have them at the touch of a button.

If north america hasn't received this promotion it probably is based on results about digital buys. I think Europe buy more digital games than North America. My opinion. If Nintendo has demonstrated something about their 30 years is that they know how the market behaves. They can sell less than any other hardware but are almost never hit by losses.

I beleive its the opposite, Europe doesnt buy digitally as much so this deal is to lure them in.

This is the reason Sony released the 12gb PS3 in Europe and not NA

If I had a Wii U and lived in EU, I'd totally take this deal! Here's hoping that NA does a W101 hands-on event prior to release.

So NA gets games later AND our promotion for Pikmin3 is being able to download it a day early IF we travel to a gamestop hosting the preview this weekend.

And EU gets 30% off another great game all the while launching earlier.

DAMN you NOA! I want the eShop discount!

But I don't think Europeans got $30 eShop credit for registering both Fire Emblem and SMT IV. The promotions balance out.



I have said similarly to him numerous times about stuff like this, but he don't wanna listen. Guess we'll just have to let him vent out everytime there's a promotion.

NA got the $30 deal.

Tis fair I guess.

Plus we'll be able to play Pikmin 3 this weekend and potentially get it a day early, and they may do similarly for W101.

They need to push promotions like this much moreso.

What about if you purchase Sonic Lost World, Batman: AO, Rayman, Monster Hunter Tri G, Watchdogs, or one of the other major third party releases (digital or retail) and register it, you get 30% off The Wonderful 101 on the eShop all through the holiday season?

Why not Nintendo? Make third parties happy and get more people playing 101 and see if it can't become a long term franchise?

Every new Wii U should also come with a playable demo or at least a developer video on this game pre-installed IMO.

I think Nintendo Club should be changed up too, so that you recieve bonuses for purchasing games like Wonderful 101 and third party titles that might be a tougher sell. Buy Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2 and hey you recieve a special Mario Hat or Smash Bros figurines or something (I'm sure someone can think of something better, but you get the idea).

Stronger pre-order bonuses on these games too.
