As part of its Nintendo Direct, the company revealed a deal designed to entice gamers into picking up a 3DS XL. Players who pick up the system and one of two games will be able to pick an additional game at no extra charge.

You'll need to pick up a 3DS XL and a copy of either Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity or Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. After registering the products, you can then select a free copy of either Super Mario 3D Land, Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone!, Star Fox 64 3D, or Freakyforms Deluxe: Your Creations, Alive!

Geeze, I wish the early adopters got as much treatment...

Wow... Nearly everyone I know prefers the regular 3DS over the XL version. This is a great marketing strategy to boost XL sales. I wish Big N gave us more free games...

Well looks like I will download Star Fox 64. I already have a hard copy but I also have the other games so I will put this on my 3DSXL

Hmm, I just bought my XL 2 weeks ago, I hope this deal still applies to me

So if you already have a 3ds xl then get one of those games does the offer still stand? Either way I guess it doesn't really matter, I already own the 2 best games in the offer.

thats not a bad deal
by game designer Thomas Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 11:06 AM

well i really want a 3Ds XL because the regular one actually hurts my hand but i'll wait until there's a Super smash bros bundle or something... and it will be cool if it came with a circle pad or something (integrated or not :/) man i would love to play pikmin 1,2,and 3 on the 3Ds too hopefully it will since DK is going to be on the 3Ds

Nice. I might pick this up my tax return.

I was waiting for a good reason to upgrade. Now I have one. I was going to pick up Dark Moon anyway.

To bad I already have a 3DS. The Ambassador Program makes up for it through. I just started getting into Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.
by CyberAzure Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 12:57 PM

Not a bad deal there.
by nightcrawlerash13 Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 12:58 PM

Too bad I already have one!!!
by Lightspeed369 Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 01:33 PM

That's a pretty good deal
by Saturday Morning Replay Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:03 PM

How long does this deal last?
by hakesterman Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:25 PM

This isn't that great of a deal. You have to spend over $215.00 to get a free old game, Come on! How about Buy a 3DS and get 2 Free Games of your Choice, Now count me in....
