Fancy a free app for your 3DS? Of course you do.
Scan the QR code below and you can download the Mario and Sonic at the London Olympics 2012 Virtual Card Album for free. The app lets you collect themed cards based on Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games via SpotPass, StreetPass, connecting to Nintendo Zone hotspots or by spending Play Coins. You can also trade cards with other players using the 3DS console's infra red function. There are 73 cards to collect in total with different rarity values, but you get five to start your collection.
The application is only available until 9th September.
If you're in the UK and have a 3DS, scan the QR code below following these instructions:
- Hold L or R on the 3DS Home Menu to bring up the camera.
- Tap the chequerboard option — this opens up the QR reader.
- Align the frame with the QR code and it will offer you a link.
- Press A.
Let us know what you make of this latest eShop freebie.

Do you have to have the game for this to work or the be able to get all 73 cards? And do you know if this will be coming to NA?
What a brilliant way of celebrating the Olympics.
Lets collect cards.
Would be nice if it comes to America.
Where's the better apps for the 3DS? This is just more junk to fill your Home Menu, c'mon Ninty give us some better apps for our console.
Aw... Luckies... Anyone know when the Olympics will be back in the states?...
I'm in europe and I get the error... maybe it's UK exclusive for now
I just got back from S. America...i'm tired of traveling for now...guess that means I won't be getting this little perk shrugs
Pretty bad app. I got the starter cards and only one of them was 3D. I also purchased one more with play coins just to test and so got another card with 3D-effect. They're trying to get the game sell better but at least I am still not going to buy it.
@Gustoff no game required, just this app.
I've changed the title to say UK but I see some European countries have it too. If you can download it please let me know which country you're in!
@James You can download it in Finland, if that's any help.
@Flowerlark Retribution for America always getting better stuff up until 2010-ish.
It doesn't work in the Netherlands. odd.
I want this to come to NA really bad.
I'm from Spain and I can download it too
false happiness for NA D:
Please come to the US! I need this app.
Whaaaat, this is cool. Hope this comes to the US.
This is a very neat application. I really do hope that Nintendo develops it for the USA as well.
Why aren't all the cards in 3D? It's really odd. I'm so used to the 3D that the cards just look flat and boring.
Odd... Normally when something is released on the eshop in Europe, it comes to Australia at the same time.(e.g.Demos, Games) D: Why not this
@clubmini, if you want to access the app in Australia, change your region settings to somewhere in Europe (personally, I stick with England): you don't lose your funds like on the Wii; you just lose access to them until you switch back to Australia.
SpotPass requires Nintendo Zone huh?
Guess which brit has a Nintendo Zone at home! I think I'm gonna finish this quickly, I wonder what the final gift is.
Not available in Holland, strangely enough!
Availability confirmed for Czech Republic. But then again, I've got my region locale set to the UK as the only apps available in eShop over here are the free ones and that doesn't even include demos and trailers.
What bums me up is that I cannot use Nintendo Video/Eurosport apps without fiddling with region settings every time. Gave up on these srsly.
Well, I hope more areas get this, just for a little free app to play around with.
It's still werid to see Mario and Sonic together. :I
