It was announced on the current Treehouse live stream that Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be getting a demo drop on the 3DS eShop on the 19th of September.

However, two sets of people will be getting their demo today:

• If you're in North America and put of something called "Club Nintendo Platinum," you should start F5ing your email inbox.
• If you're in Europe and part of Club Nintendo (Not Platinum since we don't have whatever that is) you should be doing similar.

Finally, you'll be getting FOUR codes. One for you, three for your friends. This is totally not a stealth "Hey, fellow Europeans with a spare code - hook me up" thread.

Also, I'm pretty sure codes are region-locked, so you won't be able to do any cross-continental giveaways, unfortunately.

Is the 3DS version more anticipated than the WiiU? Or are they releasing demos for the 3DS because it's the first handheld version of the game?

@lukeweizer: It's probably more to do with the 3DS version actually having a release date. It just came out in Japan and is out in the West next month; Wii U is still just "2014," which it probably isn't going to make at this point.

also any Americans with one free code should totally consider dropping them here plssss

I would love a free code as well if anyone has one. Sadly, no codes for me. :(

Oh man, how does one get these codes? Is it all Club Nintendo members or only certain ones for Europe?

I got platinum and still haven't got my codes. I'll update as soon as I do and post my extra ones. Hope it's not a long wait.

@gunslingerpanda: I dunno if this is BS or not, but I heard (from GameFAQS) the Japanese release date is November 19th. It was announced on a Nico Nico stream or something.

Also I'd be more than happy to take some codes if anyone's got extras...

@shaka999: Japanese release date is tomorrow, the 13th

google of release date

@aregee: Think he meant the Wii U version.

@gunslingerpanda: ohh my bad. Is that still unconfirmed?

@aregee: I think it is. Considering I can't find any articles on it, I'm guessing that was BS.

...so yeah, my bad for posting irrelevant info...

If there are any super cool duders out there looking to pass off a code. I'd graciously take it off your hands :)......constantly checking message box.

...Apparently, you needed to have marketing emails turned on since at least the 8th of September to get one.

Duuuuuumb.

I really hope by Platinum they mean from the last cycle. Hard to believe anyone could have reached it already in the new cycle.

Damn, don't have platinum

Two EU codes for you duders.

RIP me as well. I always thought I had it checked. Oh well. I'll try and get lucky with a code.

@mijati: Got the first one. Thanks a lot!

The ONE year I didnt earn platinum...

So do you have to currently be Platinum or is it for the one that just ended?

Platinum for the last period and have Nintendo emails turned on from Sept. 8.

if anyone gets a spare NA code they don't need, I'd appreciate it! The one year I DONT do platinum...EFF!

Finally platinum is worth something

enjoy (North America)

Right, so I should be getting one soon.

@mijati: Got the second code. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks so much I got the third code

@solidsnak: GOT ONE! Thanks!

@stalefishies: That's weird. I'm downloading the demo now after I input the second code after I tried the third one.

I don't think I'm getting a code since I didn't specifically opt in for club nintendo emails. (I did for Nintendo, but I guess that doesn't count?)

Anyway, I'll trade a code for any of the games on Club Nintendo for a Smash code. PM me if interested.

Bah why don't I check for these threads immediately! If anyone else wants to be awesome and post their codes you'll have my eternal gratitude.

I had this weird glitch for platinum status last year, half the coins I earned were counted towards this year instead of last ,despite having been on the account for a good five months before the end of the Club Nintendo year. So I only got gold, and am not eligible for a Smash code. So at the risk of sounding like a charity case, if anyone has a spare NA code, I'd very much appreciate it.

And then I will smash you as is customary amongst bros.

How do you check that? In my account details on Club Nintendo it says I'm opted in for Nintendo e-mails but I don't see any mention for specifically Club Nintendo. I did receive an e-mail a couple months back about the platinum rewards so I assume I'm enabled.

Some more codes for you duders, I have no use for the spares. I'm in the UK so I'd guess these would only work in EU regions.

I have no idea, lol. I vaguely remember when I registered for Club Nintendo I left the "Email me with bla bla" check box unchecked, but I might be wrong on that. I get emails from Nintendo quite often but never from Club Nintendo. (Unless I order something)

@autumnstorm: Thanks man, took the second code.

I have Platinum but haven't received any email..? I'll gladly give them to you guys if I get them.

@citizencoffeecake: I'm platinum too but didn't have the setting allowing notifications selected so I'm outta luck.

Anyone minding if they pm me a code?

Just got my email have fun guys! (NA)

Grabbed the second code.

Thanks man, you're a god send.

@arceion: Thanks much, duder. Got the third one. The one year I don't do platinum...

just missed it

I look away for 2 minutes! Gah!

Damn that is the case for me too. All is well though, I got one of @arceion's codes, thanks duder.

I know right?

If anyone has a EU code spare, I would gladly, GLADLY, take it off your hands.

So I guess I will be F5ing a lot.

Is it for those who were Platinum before the "year" rolled over a couple months ago, or for those Platinum in the current year? If it's the latter, damn, how many people would've already hit that?

If it's the former, where's my damn e-mail...!
