In the past 24 hours Humble Bundle launched the second ever Nintendo eShop offering, the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. It contains a mix of retail downloads and eShop-only titles at a huge discount (with more to be announced in six day's time) and, importantly, it's available around the world across PAL territories and North America.
That global audience is making a difference, too. The North American 'Humble Nindie Bundle' in 2015 passed 37,000 sales in 24 hours. This new bundle has, at the time of writing, performed far better - in less than 24 hours it's passed 61,000 sales and raised around $600,000. The money raised will be split between Nintendo (and presumably its partners for the games themselves), Humble Bundle and two charities - SOS Children's Villages and Code.org. The average purchase is just under $10 at present, which is a bargain and also suggests that plenty are shunning the $13 tier that includes Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition and Darksiders II.
More games will be announced on 3rd May for this bundle, but if you jump in now and pay over the average you'll receive them when they're confirmed. Head to the official website if you want to pick it up.
Have you grabbed the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle yet?

I picked it up despite already owning Affordable Space Adventures; absolutely insane value for money.
No surprises there, it's an insanely good bundle. I already own RCR:DX, Freedom Planet on Steam, SSFIV on cart and I don't have a Wii U (yet) but I still think this amazing value for money.
Really happy to have SSFIV permanently on the system I've spent the day playing Rhythm Thief which actually isn't too bad... more of this (so long as the developers get a good cut).
It doesn't work on Brazil, sadness prevails.
'The average purchase is just under $10 at present, which is a bargain and also suggests that plenty are shunning the $13 tier that includes Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition and Darksiders II.'
This average is waaaay higher than usual for Humble Bundle and suggests a good hefty percentage of people are putting down the money to get the top tier.
The pricing model is geared towards individual choice in selecting contributions, so it's not really correct to say people are avoiding the $13.00 tier. Actually for the results to show a total identical or beyond a given tier, would be purely anomalous and could indicate a strong contribution from generous donors (like the $100+ crowd).
I selected the highest option for all the games, which I almost never do. The level of value here is utterly insane.
Retro City Rampage is as boring as it was in that demo I played awhile back, but I might play around with it a bit more and see if I can't have some fun with it.
Darksiders II, Rhythm Thief, SF43D, and Freedom Planet are all games I've been curious about. I'd never have imagined I could get them all for $13.
I'm eager to see what other games are added to the list.
got myself ASA for $1.
Went for 13$ its a fantastic price for all those games!
I got two of these haha, both top tier for both my 3ds's I do have a couple Wii U codes I think @ULTRA-64 wanted one so let me know!
I might think about getting it when all the games are revealed.
Both ASA and Shantae for less than a quid. Shantae is excellent.
Quality good money .
This is a great deal for great games for a great cause! It's great!
This is one of the best Humble bundles I've seen. Even a better deal then the Humble Nindie bundle from last year. I'll be paying the $13 for all of the games as soon as I get home. I don't have any of these games so this is gonna be a pretty great bunch of games for me to play.
If anyone fancies that rampage game on 3DS I have a code for it
I had most of these, but paid $15 bc I love them doing these and want more in the future!
I much preferred last year's bundle so far, but let's see what next week brings!
@cyrus_zuo Do you have spare codes for any of the games you already had? I would greatly appreciate one!
It's like the Humble Bundle team checked EVERY game I had, and used them to make the bundle.... that price is AMAZING but I already own them all... I still want to get it and give away some to my friends... so I'm waiting to see what is the final game unlock...
I'm glad it's doing well. Hopefully this means they won't forget about Europe next time.
I already own half of the games, and I'm only interested in one from the other half. Even still, the deal is good for that one game. Maybe when they release the rest of the line-up, then I'll jump on this.
How many copies do Humble Bundles usually sell?
I already owned the 2 main games I liked in that bundle but I still donated a few bucks..
I went for the $13 deal.I didn't own any of the Wii U games so it's worked out great for me . Shantae and ASA is unbelievable value,I've been wanting to get them for a while but probably would never have got round to it without this deal. I wasn't too bothered about Freedom Planet ,even less so Citizens of Earth but Darksiders 2 will surely be worth it.Got my fingers crossed I won't have the games that are added next week.
I feel.a bit guilty though, I never chose where the money goes to..I noticed after most of it goes to Nintendo and very little to charity if you don't change it.
I find it somewhat disheartening to see people asking for codes; though, of course, we all like free stuff.
Awesome deal. I'm doing this tonight.
@Charinzardon It does now. I got my codes this morning.
I did the last one, and only ended up downloading steamworld dig (awesome game), even tho there were more I was interested in, never got around to it.
I'm doing it again, I always give at least 10% to charity. I'm interested in more games this time, but we'll see how many i end up actually playing.
@OorWullie even tho it says Nintendo is getting the biggest chunk, they actually aren't since its divided up by game, and none of these games are nintendo developed or published, so I imagine they get their normal % per game.
@Achoo Do you have something you can offer me as a trade?
I paid $15, partly because I want them to keep making Nintendo bundles, partly because I dislike prime numbers
I'm excited to see what other game(s) they add next week, hopefully one I haven't got, though I got my money's worth on Darksiders, AFA and SF4 alone.
@Dakt You are the definition of humble my friend, can I haz a code lol
@BinaryFragger That's really cool of you! I wish I was at home to scoop up ASA from your generosity
Yeah I jumped on it. I gave enough to get all the games. Amazing value and a good cause. I hope they do more console Bundles in the future.
I have to remember to put in my $15-20 dollar later today.
Perfect choice in games. I don't own most of them and the ones I do own I only have either 1 version (Citizens of Earth Wiiu), prefer to have a digital copy to replace (Rhythm Thief), or have someone lose a game (SFIV 3D). Works out both ways
anyone got a FP key spare? its the only one I havent got.
@BinaryFragger Dude you're so awesome got darksiders and freedom planet will make sure to give you free codes whenever I get the chance thanks again.
Sometimes Humble Bundle makes me feel like a leech, which is fine because I am stingy with my money!
@BinaryFragger You are so generous, looks like the humble bug got you hard hahaha
Got all for £9.22. And there're more coming next week!! How is this even possible? What a bargain.
I already have darksiders on 360 so I might giveaway my code when I get the bundle
If anybody has an extra code of citizens of earth for 3ds, may i have it?(north america)
@Achoo can your friend not afford $1?
Shantae on the Wii U:
B0LGFVB72NYM01Q9
I will wait and see what the extra games are and see if it is worth paying more than the $13 to support this so we hopefully get more in future.
If anyone had a spare street fighter iv code for 3DS, could I have it?
North America btw
I got myself the VERY AFFORDABLE Space Adventures for $1
Yup, grabbed 'em all.
@DoctorOverbuild I'm still in need of spare Wii u codes if they are available and you are kind enough to spare them? I have darksiders 2 and shantae otherwise anything is welcome my friend. Thanks
@ULTRA-64 Okah I've lost track of which codes I've given to who I'll send you the ones you don't have but they might've been used Is pal okay? If so email me at [email protected]
@DoctorOverbuild email sent, thanks again.
Can anyone buy for me the full bundle because i don't have PayPal etc?
In return i can buy for him whatever he wants (same price) on steam.
Please if anyone can and wants to help me email me at: [email protected]
Thanks.
Wow I put my email here and I got a few people I didn't even talk to ask for codes.
@DoctorOverbuild i don't think u shud be allowed to leave ur email in the comments,
codes are ok.
@BinaryFragger @Bsham most generous off both of u, your actions have humbled me
I only had SSFIV but own both a wii u and 3ds so had to buy the full package
"That global audience is making a difference, too"
I wouldn't state this without regional data I would argue this bundle offering is better personally, and a lot of titles offered in the last one were already offered for free through PSN+ and games with gold for those with multiple consoles.
Does the humble site have region data on purchases can't find nothing.
@nashbigpoo I only leave my email there to help people out, many other people have left their emails in the comments too I just received a few people asking for codes who never talked to me, It's not really breaking the rules like giving someone a phone number is. Besides I trust this site loads!
I bought it and then bought another for my friend. Too amazing of a deal.
I usually pay the top tier whenever I do a Humble Bundle. However, I already have "Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition" and I'm unsure if I want "Darksiders II" (looks like a cross between "Diablo" and "God of War"...or am I missing something else?). I may wait until next week and see what other games are added to the bundle to decide, but I'll definitely do at least the dollar tier (mainly for "Shantae". Already have "RCR" on PSN and Steam).
I bought the bundle for $13. What a great deal and good cause!
Yep I got it. Looking forward to see what we get on tuesday too.
I'm just after the Retro City theme now. Proving to be quite elusive!
I guess the problem with the 13 $ is that too many people have at least one of these rather old, rather cheap-to-get games already and/or are only interested in getting games for one of the systems.
I'm curious about the games to be announced in May, expecting there may at least be one first-party title among them.
I'm not real familiar with these, even though I got the Star Wars set last year. If you buy the bundle, can you add the new titles when they come out later?
Great set already.
@davidevoid True, I was just highlighting that a lot of people clearly aren't bothered about the retail games
You're right though, an average of nearly $10 suggests plenty are paying a solid amount.
@Ichiyama Yeah, if you pay over certainly thresholds (the 'average price') when they add a game or more next week you get them too.
@ThomasBW84 Thanks. Hate to be a honk when it's for charity, but what the hey. Particularly since I have Darksiders II already.
I paid $15. I don't own any of these games yet, and I was planning on picking up half of them anyway, so this is an amazing deal!
Glad to see them doing this again, and equally glad to see some full retail games being placed on the list. I look forward to seeing what else comes with the bundle in the next few days.
I hope this is a sign of Nintendo learning from the PC market, and realizing that they can't continue operating as they have been, as if it were still the '90s or '00s, in regards to handling sales. (Or rather, almost never having any kind of real modern sales.) They must embrace having these kinds of sales in the future, even if they have someone else handle it (like Humble Bundle).
I'll definitely be buying into this bundle at the $13 level to show my support, even though I already have Freedom Planet on Steam. And of course, to finally pick up more Shantae!
Haven't checked the announcement post, but deliberating over Citizens of Earth. Does the 3DS version still not have a 3-D effect? I have the game for Vita, IIRC, but it takes up so much memory card space, and I do have the EarthBounds on Wii U, but still...
I'm so happy this came to Europe, I was so jealous when the last Humble Bundle dropped stateside. Now I've got the whole of this bundle in spite of already owning the top tier (Darksiders II and SSFIV3D), but it's for charity and is still a fantastic bargain, so why not? I urge you all to support this.
@Miiamoto .. Wouldn't happen to have a spare code by any chance ?
does anyone still have unused code 3ds NA region? i can trade with mynintendo reward...please email me on [email protected] thanks
@chiefeagle02
Darksiders 2 is suprisingly Zelda-esque. Dungeons, puzzles, horseback riding etc. Much darker than your average Zelda though.
I was emailed a 13 digit code after purchasing the 1$ or more bundle and the eshop won't accept anything other than 16 digit codes. What am I missing here?
@Miiamoto if you have a spare SF4 code by chance, can you dm it to me?
@themightyboost Thanks! Right after I made the original post, I read the review for Darksiders II. I'm definitely liking what I read.
People begging for codes from the $1 tier are unbelievably cheap. Unless you truly have no way of paying for these via Paypal/Amazon/credit card/debit card then I don't believe anyone here can't afford the $1 (which can be given entirely to charity).
Generous as giving away codes is it also potentially means lost donations to charity.
It's an amazing deal for Affordable Space Adventures alone
@DoctorOverbuild
do u trust me with ur details includig email thought not
@nashbigpoo What do you mean thought not?! If you're going to try and prove a point please try and spell correctly. Have you also not noticed the other emails in this comment section or did you just feel like having an argument with me? I trust this site. That's all what really need to be said. The members are fellow Nintendo fans and fellow members of the site that's enough for me. Besides in the rare occasion something dodgy happened there's such thing as a block button. Anyway I have no interest continuing this any further feel free to reply but you won't recieve one from me after this.
@DoctorOverbuild

@Bzab + @Qwerts Sorry folks, my brother wants them. Like I said though, you should support this and buy the bundle - it's worth it.
When Nintendo does something right! Good selection of games in the bundle for a ridiculously cheap price? Count me in!

@plus
Most credit/debit cards allow you to pay online... without need of paypal account. Even if you pay in dolars/euro/whatever currency and your local currency is not dollar/euro.
They will charge 4,75% provision for conversion if you pay in euro but don't have euro on account and same to other currencies.
@sonicmeerkat
"Does the humble site have region data on purchases?"
Do you mean different curencies for different countries?
Yes. They will get cash from you by your ip(?) number...
and not. I am from Poland. I have only my local currency on my account (PLN, polish zloty). I bought many games/books on humble without created account. I paid in usd.
BUT when i wanted to pay for something from their(because i got discount coupon from other humble i bought; you can't give your discount coupons to others ) store they charged me in Euro ;(.
It seems stupid because in purchases history it has written that i paid in usd but i know that they charged me in euro.
My advice? Buying without logging . They will charge you in usd always (?) then.
But always buy on same email adress(same as your humble account ), so you can add your purchases to you account.
I am 100% sure that you can pay in usd,gbp and euro. I don't know about the rest currencies.
@MussakkuLaden
First party? In our dreams... i should say nightmares because it surely (?) won't happen.
@ThomasBW84 It should be noted and edited that the Citizens of Earth is available for Wii U OR 3DS, and not Wii U and 3DS.
@Nico07 Good call, I'll edit that.
