Digital Smash Bros. copies must be registered within 5 days for soundtrack, Mewtwo
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Update: There’s been some confusion about the situation. It actually looks like you need to have your console registered in five days rather than the digital copy. Since Nintendo encourages people to link their Club Nintendo accounts early on, most users shouldn’t encounter any issues.
Those who register Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS on Club Nintendo will receive two bonuses next year. Nintendo intends to hand out a soundtrack CD as well as free Mewtwo DLC.
If you’ve purchased Smash Bros. digitally, make sure that you have the games registered within five days of purchase by linking your system to Club Nintendo. You won’t be eligible for the promotion otherwise.
A Nintendo customer service representative recently told one fan:

[Feature] Me and my amiibo – Why Nintendo’s plastic gamble means more to me than I thought
Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in 3DS, Features, Game of the Month, Wii U | 5 Comments
Author: Kira
With the recent release of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and the 1st and 2nd wave of amiibo, I have started to reflect on how these little NFC “Figure Players” have added an entirely new dynamic to the series that we’ve never had during this franchise’s history. With the addition of the amiibo we’re given an array of new possibilities that add depth and scope to a game that already had quite a bit for a brawler, and even with other companies having already released similar types of “toy” peripherals we are seeing a whole new side to what the future might hold for video games.
