Does it make the card RARE, if you're giving it out free to a lot of people?

Maybe that's the only way in the world to get it.

Considering no purchase of the actual game is required to get the cards, these will go quick. Those with the game but too late for these freebie could consider them rare.  :)

Are they available to order yet? I could not find them on the site anywhere.

I got mine, you can find it from the front page club.nintendo.com
but club nintendo is currently under maintenence.

Yeah, it was kinda dumb the way they did these.  Should have given them free when you registered the game (like the Zelda soundtrack...)

Don't you know since collectables have become big business...rarity is now manufactured.  It is the one thing I hate about the collectable business.  Be it Card games, toys, comic books, whatever....


Rarity is now just being created by the marketers and not by natural means. 

Nintendo could secretly put these on eBay and fund themselves for the next year :-p

Maybe that's their plan to ensure they're in the black for the next fiscal year.

I couldn't find any reference to it on the Club Nintendo front page, but I got it using the link in the Source line.  Just sharing in case anyone else was lost like I was for a minute.

I ordered the AR cards, which pushed me over the edge in deciding to pre-order the game. Nintendo worked its marketing magic on me again.
