Anyone in Europe who entered into Nintendo’s “Join Nintendo Network Promotion”, check your e-mails right now! Nintendo of Europe and Australia have started to send out free download codes for the Game Boy Color classic, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, provided you registered a Nintendo Network ID to your Nintendo 3DS before the 31st of February. Now you can enjoy one of the best platformers on the console, just with no Game Boy Printer support and controls that make it almost unplayable. Strangely, the game is absent from the 3DS eShop outside of the promotion, which seems like a missed opportunity.
