Aussies and Europeans can “Welcome a Friend” to Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The Animal Crossing: New Leaf: Welcome a Friend promotion was announced for Europe in tonight’s Nintendo Direct presentation.
Players of Animal Crossing: New Leaf who have registered the game on their Club Nintendo accounts will receive a Recommendation Code that they can pass to a friend. If this friend buys a 3DS XL console and enters this Recommendation Code, they will be eligible to claim a free download code for Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Nintendo Australia have run a similar promotion where new buyers of standard 3DS consoles can claim a free download of one of a selection of games, including New Leaf, however 3DS XL purchasers here are not quite as lucky.
There has been no word on whether this promotion will come to Australia, but if it does, we’ll be sure to let you know!
Update: Nintendo Australia have confirmed the promotion will run in Australia and will start on August 15th when the all white 3DS XL hits stores. We’ll have more information about Australian specifics soon.
Just watched the Nintendo Direct on the eShop and it said the promotion would start in Australia and New Zealand on August 15th.
I don’t suppose anyone is willing to pass off their code to me? I am planning on upgrading my 3ds to an XL this weekend and would love to get this game but can’t afford it at the moment..
OMG the promotion is happening in Australia too (for once), so happy 😀
I registered my copy of Animal Crossing on Club Nintendo it displayed the code and said an email would be sent. I never received an email and now I cant find the code. Any ideas where I might find it?
Same as me, not displaying the code, and also can not claim the code for my GF 3ds XL. I got the code on the confirmation screen, no email though.
The code should have been on the site, in addition to being emailed to you.
I successfully managed to do this over the weekend with my girlfriend.
Is there any chance your girlfriend could send the code to me? 😀
