Until January 31st next year, Club Nintendo Europe is giving out a free downloadable copy of New Style Boutique whenever you register a European version of the Nintendo 3DS XL. I mean you could claim a copy of Super Mario 3D Land, New Art Academy, Freakyforms Deluxe or Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask instead, but I’m not sure why you’d want to.
At the moment the promotion is only valid for residents of the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands. You’ll also need to redeem your download code before January 31st.

Satoru Iwata seems like a pretty humble man. According to IGN’s Rich George, who recently interviewed the Nintendo president, Iwata “doesn’t believe in labeling anything Nintendo does a success.”
Why, you ask? It’s short and simple: Iwata doesn’t want to get complacent.
We should be hearing more about this tomorrow…
The gold nunchuck has sold out on Club Nintendo twice now. Those who missed out on the reward will be pleased to hear that the reward will come back in stock for a third time in 2013. A specific date hasn’t been announced, but Nintendo of America’s Twitter account stated that it will be back “after the New Year.”
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, like every other Wii U game out there, will probably have its own community on the system. Other than this, however, the title won’t have any Miiverse functionality.
Yuri L. Araujo, associate online specialist at Capcom USA, said the following when asked by a fan about Miiverse support in Ultimate:
“You guessed it: no plans at this time. But I got it – I will ‘bring it up around the office. Pester some folks. Call in a favor’ for ya.”
Famitsu will be revealing a new Monster Hunter 4 weapon in its December 13 issue. This week’s magazine features a silhouette of a weapon with large three prongs. Fans will need to wait until the specified date for more information.
