A promotion offering a free digital copy of Pokemon X and Y with the purchase of a 3DS and selected game is closing after today.

Just a reminder for you procrastinating bargain-hunters: today is the last day to register your 3DS and game purchase to net a free digital copy of Pokemon X or Y. Those of you who have already registered and purchased your codes still have until May 31 to redeem it.

As reported when the deal was first announced, you can get the free game when you purchase any 3DS family system (3DS, 3DS XL, or 2DS) and one of six games. That line-up consists of Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins, and Yoshi's New Island. If you happen to be reading this after your local stores are closed, a digital purchase will work as long as your Club Nintendo account is linked to it. You can check out more details on the promo page.

      Did you have to buy and register in a certain time window. Because I have registered my system and several of those games when they all first came out and never has an option for a free Pokemon game.

        You had to register both in March of this year.

          It is nice that they reward early adopters.

        yeah quite annoying. Luckily I hadn't registered my new 3DSXL (my old 3DS was registered back in 2012) but all the eligible games I had were already registered. I went ahead and picked up DK country since I wanted it anyways and hey free Pokemon.

      I just downloaded my free copy yesterday, but thanks for the reminder.

      Holy crap it was slow though. Took longer than a Steam game of considerably greater size. I don't know if it's my wi-fi (my PC has a wired connection) or if the 3DS is just that slow, but damn.

        I'm downloading right now and its painfully slow. I hate how they don't have an "advanced" mode for certain things... download speed, size of files (wtf is a block?), etc.
