Buy A 3DS XL Or 2DS With One Of Six Games And Get Pokémon X Or Y For Free

I'm kind of surprised it is also for 2DS tbh.
The European SM3DL promotion was 3DS/3DS XL only.

omg... way to much attention to 3ds.

omg... way to much attention to 3ds.

I'd buy this for my kid, 2ds + sm3dl + pokemon, if they offer it here in Europe. The question is which Pokemon should I get?

What a good deal. For people who still haven't jumped on getting a 3DS/2DS, this is prime time, seeing as a majority of the games in this promo are decent.

Great deal! Only problem I just bought a 2ds.........

That's neat actuallly, if I didn't have one already I'd be tempted to grab Yoshi's Island so long as it meant free Pokemon.

@Jon_14 If you haven't registered it yet you can register it next month and one of the games and still get your free Pokemon game|!

I'd be jealous if I didn't already own the games from that selection I'm interested in (including Pokémon X, but it never hurts to have both versions of Pokémon, if only so you can double up on rare items and Pokémon ^_^)

great deal, I would take advantage if I didn't already own all of those systems.

Promos like this belong on the WiiU also.

@FishieFish I've noticed as soon as you link your id it automatically registers your system. I never had to for my Wii U it did it for me. Hopefully they didn't get a id yet and link that to Club Nintendo!

Also your first post. Remember Nintendo pushed hard for the 2ds and Pokemon. Only makes sense they would include it in this promotion. Besides it's mostly in 2d anyways as the 3d in the game sucks.

This is my friend's chance to get a 2DS! Since he hadn't saved up enough money and argued that he wanted to get X/Y AND another great 3DS game, he didn't leap for it. Now he better!

Promotions like these are why I still haven't registered my XL. But I think I'll keep waiting, since nobody in the world doesn't have Pokemon XY.

You can pick up a 2DS with PKMN X or Y for £99 in Sainsburys. That's a pretty awesome deal.

Nice...... Looks like a great deal!!

Hopefully this hits UK. I have some 2DS star lying around...

Deals are always nice - but I don't see this one as anything spectacular. It's a limited set of games that most people already own and TRU doesn't always have the best prices. You need to buy a console and 1 of 6 games to get a DL code for 1 game. And - AND - you get the free code via Club Nintendo. So the only people this deal would really be good for are parents buying a new 2DS and a couple of games for their kids, but they would be the least likely to go thru the steps to get the free code during that time frame. It's March - the month w/o a single Wii U game in stores, and the Wii U eShop doesnt look much better.

Stores are almost always having sales w/ games when you buy consoles, so this is good marketing, but not a super deal due to the DL code via Club Nintendo. Good ad for Club Nintendo and the 2DS deal - especially if the system were to go on sale for $99 in March. The XL seems out of place.

If there isn't an equivalent Wii U deal I guess we can assume its abandoned.
(And by abandoned I mean Nintendo realizes nobody is buying one - especially in barren March and eShop April - so why waste money advertising it? Abandonment might be called for, like when parent animals only feed their healthy babies and let the runts starve.)

I bought a 3DS XL back in January ($150 for the Dream Team special edition), but because I haven't registered it yet, it would probably be eligible for this sale. That said, I already have Pokemon X, and have little interest in getting Pokemon Y to go with it.

@TrueWiiMaster You could sell the download code! Or, get the download version of X, transfer your save and sell the cartridge.

Like TrueWiiMaster, I have a 3DS XL that's unregistered (as well as copies of both Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D)...but I don't have either of the new Pokemon games.

While I'd like to save them for the next Club Nintendo platinum prize, I'm willing to splurge early to give Pokemon Y a try.

I just ordered my 3ds xl yesterday, I´m luckly. I already had AC: New leaf, Mario 3d Land and MK7. I wonder if they will count for the promotion, or will I have to buy the new yoshi game?

Nice! Too bad I already own a 3DS, Pokemon X, and most of those games already.

This is great,now I have a good reason to buy a 2DS and a game for my son and get Pokemon for me

Dang. :1

@MHMason

You should splurge on Pokemon Y. You won't be sorry.

def a good deal if you don't yet have a 3ds

That'd be pretty much the only deal that could make me buy a 3DS XL now. The 3DS XL Animal Crossing special edition should count for console AND game, right? That'd make €190 for a 3DS XL with AC and Pokemon - what a great price! Still, doesn't matter when it's not in Europe.

Question: Who on this website is from NA and does not have a 3DS?
Answer to your answer: Well now is as great a time as any to get one.

Sweet deal. 3DS XL, I wonder if that includes the regular 3DS? I guess we just have to wait for the official announcement from Nintendo.

I hope it's not restricted to physical copies of those games. I was planning on downloading Yoshi's New Island after I upgrade to an XL next month.
I already have PokéMon Y, but I want to get X for a Nuzlocke Challenge run.

wow what an amazing deal if only it was here in the uk i would be temped to get a backup system and pokemon X.

@Kawaii_Neko
Speaking of which, I need to find that game soon

I'm like triple platinum so I was saving my XL code for July. I did the new Pokemon thing but I gave the game away to a friend. Not sure I wanna give up the quick boost to status to get it back. Not for Pokemon at least. If the list of free options was wider I might.

Already have a 3DS XL and Pokemon X but that's a pretty sweet deal. I'll refrain but I'm actually a little tempted to pick up a regular 3DS or 2DS with New Leaf for a free copy of Y (because I cannot convince myself to buy essentially a different version of the same game)....

Europe please~

No love for the original style Nintendo 3DS?

I'm still rocking my Aqua Blue Launch 3DS. I have Pokemon Y, but I do want to get X at some point so that I can get the mega stones exclusive to that version (especially Pinsirite). However, I'm also missing some of the major 3DS games, namely Fire Emblem Awakening, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, SMT IV, and Animal Crossing New Leaf. Yes, I admit it, I don't have New Leaf yet.

@EmpoleTRON It's $20 on the eShop. Not sure what the price is in Europe though. Pretty fun game.

I'll be purchasing a 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7. (I've played every Mario Kart but Double Dash and 7.) I'm not interested into the Pokémon Franchise mostly, but i'll try Pokemon X.
