Nope, you won't get your free game.

Don't know why people do this. There's actually a flyer for that promotion in the box of the game where all these information are clearly and readable.

In germany we say "Stupidity will be punished." Sorry for you, but it's your own fault.

Out of curiosity why would they disallow the free game for registering early? I could understand not allowing it to be downloaded early but what ISO the big deal?

You won't get the game... you need to read those things carefully before you go around entering codes. You can call customer support but I'm sorry to tell you, Nintendo has no obligation to give you the free game, the rules where pretty clear...

I don't know, I heard you can't though.

Are you guys freakin serious???

I think you are probably boned... The deal clearly says it doesnt start until may 30th...

Nope, you don't get a free game if you register before May 30th. You've fucked up mate :P

^ luckily nintendo support is amazing, and i'm quite sure they will give out the game of your choice if it isn't automatically given anyway

It is a promotion with a clearly defined set or rules.  They define the timeline so that they dont have to give away more free games then they have to.  Otherwise they would just pack a download code in with the game or something like that.  

Yeah I would contact Nintendo support right now. They are usually very friendly and will understand your mistake.
