The Wii U’s “Deluxe Digital Promotion” was announced along with the two SKUs, as a way to award points for eShop purchases. Today, Nintendo detailed the promotion, available only to purchasers of the Wii U Deluxe Set.
All games and DLC purchased from the Wii U eShop will return 10 percent of their value in points – 599 points for a $59.99 game, for example. Every 500 points accrued will be redeemable for a code for $5 in credit, usable on either the Wii U or 3DS eShop.
The promotion will begin counting purchases on the Wii U’s November 18 launch day, through December 31, 2014, though the website to track purchases won’t be up until December. You’ll be able to sign into the site with your “Nintendo Network ID” and password, presumably the same account you’ll create on the Wii U itself.
