Hi guys,

Im sure this has probably been covered here somewhere but Im confused by how this actually works?

I registered the game with the unique pin code on Club nintendo.

It said wait 48 hrs to download game of your choice..

Its been almost a week and I cannot click the banner on the free wii U game offer! in the e shop. :(

 

Is there another way to dload the free game?

Did you connect your Club Nintendo account and eShop account? And also if it was on launch night, the promotion didnt start right away.

Also, If you go the Wii U EShop, there's a video towards the bottom that tells all you need to know about linking your account and so forth

You don't need to connect your NNID and Club Nintendo account to get the free game, but it's a good idea to do it... Go to the eShop, click "My Menu", and scroll down to settings. Click show all, and there should be an option to link your Club Nintendo account... To get the free game, you can just go to Club Nintendo on your computer, and as long as you entered your MK8 code sometime after release, there should be a banner on the website about the free game offer... Click on that, and it should be pretty easy from there. :)

Awesome. But you really should get your Wii U and CN account linked... You can get CN points for downloading games (even the free one!)... You made absolutely certain you got your password correct? Wii U requires a password with lowercase, uppercase and numbers...

After I registered my game in Club Nintendo I selected which game I wanted Free then received the email with download code a few minutes later.

I entered my code from the eshop on club nintendo, choose my game, was directed to a survey, and the code was on my screen, and is on my club nintendo account seemingly forever now when i log in.

It's probably still on my club account too since they see it as a transaction.

Have to check.

It took mine a night for it to show up, but I did get it the next day and it worked fine.
