@Happy_Mask The point is to download the games you don't have to use the $20 cards. You can just purchase a special card that lets you download the purchased game (New Super Mario Bros 2. in the picture) for a slightly cheaper price.
This is one of the few times NOA gets it right, with the AC Adapter being included with every 3DS XL. I'm sure Reggie wouldn't let us buy it without the charger.
My favorite moment: Nintendo: Yeah you know what Nikkei is saying about a jumbo 3DS that is coming this summer, well that will never happen. ..... 2.5 weeks later Nintendo: Hey guess what guys, we're releasing a jumbo 3DS this summer!

Re: First Impressions: Wii U Panorama View

Re: Club Nintendo's Gold and Platinum Prizes Have Emerged
Nintendo should make the Elite Status more selective if people want better prizes. 600 coins for gold and 800 coins for Platinum would do the trick.
