hi dude if you haven't a friend to give this code you could give that code to me it would be nice because here where i live i can't buy the psychical or the digital copy of this game i would appreciate this very much between im a pokemon fan to

From what I understand, giving the recommandation code to a friend doesn't guarantee that he will get the game for free, but rather that your friend will be entitled to enter a draw, to hopefully get a download code for the game. That's how i understood it from the email I got from Nintendo tonight.

Are you sure you got that right jorge?

Weird, this is the press release I got earlier from NUK - I think everyone will get a free d/l providing they meet the requirements:

If your friend registers a Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system between 23:01 (UK time) on 3rd June and 22:59 (UK time) on 31st July 2013, and enters the Recommendation Code before 22:59 (UK time) on 5th August 2013, he/she will be eligible to receive a free Download Code for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Nintendo 3DS!

The press release I got in French seemed to imply there would be a draw, but you're right , it doesn't seem to lean that way in the UK one. Perhaps our region will only get a limited amount of download codes then, haha

EDIT: Nevermind, after reading more details in their "terms and conditions" section, it seems every friend who submits a recommendation code will receive a download code in return. The choice of words in the newsletter was weird though XD.

Does that mean you literally have to donate it to someone who is only registering their 3DS/3DS XL now? What happens if you have already registered a 3DS/3DS XL, is it possible to be eligible to recieve?

If you can't get the game digitally, then how do you expect to get a copy if someone recommends you?

I think what he meant is he can't have access to any digital content because he can't pay on the eShop. In some countries, Nintendo doesn't sell eShop cards at all, so for those kids willing to purchase any digital content, they simply can't since the only other payment method is a credit card, which minors can't own, and which some parents won't let their kids use either. So if no stores in your area has a physical copy for sale, and they don't sell eShop cards either, then some people, like Xerox here, are screwed.

Until recently I didn't have a credit card either, so I couldn't buy anything off the eShop either, so I can understand our friend's situation here.

Yeah, was wondering the same... it specifically says you have to register the 3DS(XL) between 23:01 on 3rd June and 22:59 on 31st July 2013.

jb 04.06.2013#10

Guys - I've checked with Nintendo UK - yep, it has to be registered between those weird times - so if your friend has registered their 3DS/XL previously, no game I'm afraid.

Nintendo really dosnt want me to have any of their promotions. I've pretty much missed every free full game offer from either not owning the right games or buying and registering a 3ds too quick. Wheres the love for the faithful?!
