Save your coins and shelf space with Nintendo's digital incentive program.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/32308
Nintendo of America has revealed the details of their Wii U digital download incentive program, titled the Deluxe Digital Promotion. The program, which runs through the end of 2014, will offer approximately ten percent of the purchase price back to the customer in store credit which can be used on either the Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo Wii U eShop.
1 point in the Digital Deluxe program is equivalent to a penny. A reward of approximately 1/10th the price of the game, in points, will be rewarded upon purchase. When a user has collected 500 points, they will receive a code that can be redeemed for $5 toward a Nintendo eShop purchase. These codes must be redeemed by June 30, 2015, however the credit earned from these codes will never expire.
A website will be launching in December which will allow users to log in using a Nintendo Network ID and password to view their point totals. Until that site is launched, users will be unable to redeem their points for eShop credit.
Both first and third party published games will be eligible for the promotion, but 3DS and Wii purchases, as well as purchases made from the Wii U Basic Set, will not be eligible.
For every penny spent in the eShop, a point is earned. When a user has collected 500 points, they will receive a code that can be redeemed for $5 toward a Nintendo eShop purchase.
That would be an awesome system, infinite free eShop games.

I buy mario U via download at launch and might be able to get a free smaller download game that seems like a no brainer.
if I buy the disk i get the disk and box for shelf and no prize. screw that !
Would you rather have this or simply $5 off your first purchase, because I don't think you'll have both.
For example, Tekken is about $10 cheaper when bought online, but Japan doesn't have a Deluxe Program (at least not yet).
Also, I love how Nintendo's acronym for this is DDP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Dallas_Page). "I like Wii. You liked Wii. And I'm going to help you... like U."+1 for you, sir.
Not sure how much I'm going to use this. The only games I'm going to download are eshop only games.

I'm pretty sure a similar program was announced in Japan...
Japan has this program as well. It was announced their before the US in the Japanese Wii U Direct.
I'm having a hard time finding the articles back their since this announced but it still rewards Nintendo Points. Not an actual at the time you buy discount.Japan has this program as well. It was announced their before the US in the Japanese Wii U Direct.
That's a completely different program though. Japan gets 10% knocked off the top immediately, and that's before the discounts third parties can choose to give. So which ones better?
