Full physical copy of the game sent to your home, that happens to come with some free codes that gives you some extra free downloadable stuff within the game.

It's quite a good game then? Teetering with deciding to buy it or not, kid has Wii U now and only uses 3DS for car trips and travel.
EDIT: Just skimmed a few reviews from usual places online and game is getting 7 to 8.5 / 10 from everywhere.

Oops. Meant to say £2 reduction! Duly corrected. Someone posted it the other day for £14.85 (I think), couldn't quite bring myself the take the plunge then but now...

If I was smarter I could have logically worked that out. The £14.85 deal from the other day is currently a HUKD deal pick! Buzz might just switch it to this one.
My only dilemma now about buying the game is it looks one of those games that kids will get immersed in.... best played frequently, not ideal for a pick up then put down and pick up ages later perhaps.

Maybe but its good fun you can make the Mii characters whomever you want which the kids find hilarious!

Just noticed there is option for a download copy too. If anyone prefers the download version (I know some do) you can switch it from '3DS' to 'Download' in the drop down menu before purchase. I'm an old fashioned physical copy preferred person myself :smiley:

Did you also notice the price of Download? £30.58? :smirk:

Also if you don't want the free download copy of the game (suggested for a 2nd player who has their own DS) you could always stick the download code on Ebay to reduce the price further. It probably comes on the usual nice scratchy paper form.

its a demo version though so wont be worth much??

7 Jan 16#18
How do you mean, if buying the download game on Nintendos ESHOP directly?
noahsdad
7 Jan 161#19
Yes I see now it has changed the price to £30.58 bizzarely to select the download option which is madness. It was £12.85 to download just a few moments ago.

No. If you click on the drop down and change it from 3DS to Download the price changes to £30.58 and it says on Back Order

They maybe only had so many to sell of the download codes @ £12.85 price one would assume, as it was that price not very long ago. To correct myself from earlier, having read over the text a few times I am now realising:
The two free download codes are:
1. A "welcome version" of the game for someone else to play with you on their DS via 2 player (this is possibly just the demo trial version?)
2. Panda Suit

Thanks ordered, so tempted for the daughter when it was about £15 but glad I held off. Heat.

Yes I mistook it for a full digital copy originally but later realised. Think its poor actually using a demo version thats is freely available download as a freebie and selling point. Also relabelling it as a "welcome version" is like it is discretely trying to obscure and hide what it is.

In the same boat here unfortunately. Put my order in less than 2 days ago! I've contacted them to see if they will provide a partial refund. I'll report back here if they do.
