Lucky Club Nintendo members in North America now have a chance to pick up a free pack of AR cards for the upcoming 3DS release, Kid Icarus: Uprising. For those not in the know, AR cards unique to this title will be used for simulated battles, with the victor apparently earning in-game currency and goodies. With plenty of cards available and details on distribution still sketchy, this is a good early chance to start collecting.
The pack will include cards called Great Reaper, Drill Arm and Palutena (Rare), though we're not convinced how rare this last card will be considering it's part of a giveaway. That said it's a limited time offer with a set quantity, so its a good idea to head straight over to the Kid Icarus giveaway page and login for your free pack. The game itself is released on 23rd March, and keep an eye out for our review before it hits stores.
Thanks to Edgar Martinez for the heads up.

Alright, now for real, my brother is subscribed to GameInformer, so I was able to get the Power of Flight or something like that.
Got mine, hopefully it isn't too limited for everyone else
woo, free stuff! :3
I just went to the page, is the shipping free??
I am going to pick them up.
@kyuubikid213: shipping for CN items has always been free before, i don't see why it wouldn't be now :3
By the time I get the game my collection will be at 15 awesome.
Ordered.
Just ordered! Awesome.
Looking forward to seeing Lady Palutena on my desk.
@Koops3 how do you have so many?
Free cards? No strings attached? Amazing!
Though 3 isn't very many.
Snagged 'em. ^_^
got them
"Your Free Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Idol Cards will ship within 6-8 weeks. Once shipped, allow 1-2 weeks for delivery."
It may be a long while before we get this game (though it is #1 in my Gamefly Q), but it looks like the cards won't be here soon anyway. I aslo got the free 1 in Game Informer.
Free is good. Free cards, free shipping, no coins even.
Already put in an order for these AR Cards about an hour ago. Can't wait to see how the game's story is once this game surfaces.
Got 'em!
Ordered mine. Thanks!
Coolio. Thanks for the heads up.
Wow, awesome! Thanks for the heads up Just ordered mine. However, I no longer receive Game Informer, so I guess I won't be getting that one. :/ sigh. Can't wait for the game's release!
Thanks, grabbed a set.
Awesome! I'll be getting my Game Informer issue in about two days I believe, so I'll have that Power of Flight card in addition to these awesome Club Nintendo ones.

Your welcome for the heads up ^_^

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered in a set for my son.

Free is always nice. Still considering the actual game.
Great promotion! Now all Club Nintendo members will see this game!
@Bowser When preordering at certain retailers in Canada, and Austrailia, (EB Games, Best Buy) They give you 5 free cards. 6 Free Cards for buying the game, another 3 for this event, and the Power of Flight GI Card.
@NintendoLife Do you know anyone who got some cards, when at GDC?
Yay free stuff to burn.
I got them before any other website announced it!
Just ordered mine.
Card Get! Bet you won't be able to get 'em tomorrow. Good luck to the people.
Just ordered mine. Looking forward to getting my cards.
>3< Must find the free ones! Oh and just ordered my pack of AR cards. ^-^v
Thanks for the heads up Thom! This is why I visit Nintendo Life everyday.
Will this take long to ship, because it's free and I don't know 1 Club Nintendo person who would pass on this opportunity (Not Medusa Herself)
Gott'em, Thanks for the tip!
What's better than free stuff?
Rare free stuff!
May sound like a dumb question but is there gonna be a tournament in new york or is that only the finals? On the official site it says the 3 other cities and then finals in new york so im not sure. I live in new york annd would love to play in the tournaent. Would greatly appreciate an answer if anyone knows
Mje, I'll just find the cards online and print them out on my printer.
I ordered them, but I don't own a 3DS. I seen the words "free" and "rare" in the article above, and I couldn't resist.
Can we order it from Australia? : I don't think I can...
cant wait to get them
Ordered! Now I'll have 4 for the game, including one I got out of the last Game Informer magazine! Thank you for the notice here, or I would've missed out!
thanks tom and edgar
nintendo seems to b going out of its way to make this game sucessful
Ordered mine
Thanks for the information,i got them,now the waiting starts
I have to say i am quite please with Club Nintendo's service so far
Thanks NLife, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have known. I ordered these even though I might not get the game.
@Wavetactic The tournament has already started and the winners have been decided so if there is a tournament in NY it's probably to late to play in it.
Thanks Nintendolife. I'm glad I checked here, other wise I would have missed out. I got mine ordered.
that reminds me,it would be cool if they made a kid icarus platinum reward for club nintendo this year
Just ordered mine.
Got mine.
THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's over. I follow the link and login and it just takes me to the rewards page. Damn it. :/
@mastersworddude yeah me too...too bad. I can't believe that they sold out in 1 DAY. Why didn't I see this post sooner? ;(
@3dsFanatic4419:
Try it now, I ordered it already. I think the servers were having trouble with all the people trying to get it.
Hopefully this also comes to Europe!
@mastersworddude Thanks! I just ordered it too!
I ordered these even though I don't even have a 3DS lol.
Are the cards only for select club nintendo users in America? I went on there and didn't see them ( yes I do live in America )
@Andrewroxsox - use the link from this article
@player310 Thanks a ton I didn't take the time to read the whole article, and rushed over to club nintendo to get them because it was a limited amount of cards ( I assumed it would be on the rewards page ). Now I got my order
Who doesn't like free stuff?
im going on nintendo club right now!
Just ordered mines like 10 minutes ago there not coming for about two months though same with everyone.
