I'm in Nigeria, where there's no Gamestop, Bestbuy or any similar store. While I can buy imported games here at marked up prices, I usually just buy the downloadable versions. The Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword costume packs each come as free bonuses for purchasing the game from specific stores. Please, does anyone know whether I can purchase a download code from any of these stores or does buying the downloadable version of Hyrule Warriors mean missing the free costume DLC altogether?

I wouldn't be surprised if it all comes as paid DLC later, the preorder bonuses just being free.

Do you have access to Amazon? If you preorder from Amazon you get one of the costume packs.

Well, I guess Amazon can ship to Nigeria, but I don't think it's worth the extra cost

Livraria Cultura has pre orders opened for the game and there's nothing about these DLCs there... In fact, that was expected, since Wii U eShop isn't avaible for us until today, although Nintendo promissed at the beggining of the year that there would be both Wii U and 3DS eShop with prices in R$. Just remember that the 3DS one requires an international credit card, because the prices are shown in R$ but you have to pay in dollar.

I contacted Nintendo about the problem of having no Wii U eShop here, they said that software updates would be avaible for us, but paid DLC would have to wait until eShop comes out. By now, you can create an Canadian NNID and buy the stuff you want, just remember to never delete this NNID or your purchases will be unaccessible.
