In the Nintendo Direct, they said that if you buy a 3DS XL and Luigi's Mansion or Pokemon M D Gates to Infinity between March 21st and April 30th, you get a free game (Professor Layton, Super Mario 3D Land, and a bunch of others)...i wonder if this promotion would apply to people who bought one before then as long as you buy one of those two games.
I hope it does.

It might depend on whether you've registered your 3ds xl or not.

i have....i've actually registered two of them...i had to buy a new one because my old got broken. Well I forgot to mention in the first that you had to register both the system and one of those two games. I just hope I can get one of those games.

Nintendo 3DS XL hardware registered on and after February 14th, 2013 can qualify for this offer http://club2.nintendo.com/3ds-xl-promo/

Tough luck for me

Hmmm not a bad time to pick up another 3DSXL.

that sucks....i just registered mine on the 10th.....UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I was about to do the same thing when I got mine a week ago but I'm glad I followed my gut seeing that NoE had the same promo a couple of months ago. That free 3DLand digital code will do nicely even if I had already played it once.
