Dungeon Keeper Free On Origin On The House October 6, 2016

EA’s Origin service routinely gives away PC games for free through their On The House promotion.  These games can range from newer titles like Dead Space to classic titles from EA’s back catalog like Wing Commander 3.  Today, it looks like EA is offering the original PC classic game Dungeon Keeper for free through this promotion.

You will need the Origin client and an Origin or EA account to get your copy of Dungeon Keeper but all of that can be obtained free of charge. As usual, any games obtained for free while On The House will remain active forever in your Origin account. However, if you want the game, get it now because there’s no telling how long it will be offered for free.

Mythical Pokemon Hoopa Gift Code October 3, 2016

The mythical Pokémon Hoopa cannot be obtained through normal means in any Generation 6 Pokémon game, but it was given away in the US last year at participating McDonald’s for a brief time.  However that promotion ended a while ago and since then the only way to get a Hoopa was by trading it with someone who already had it.

Good news, The Pokémon Company is giving Hoopa away for anyone who missed the McDonald’s promotion.  Just connect your 3DS system to a WiFi hotspot, boot your game and input the code below from the “use a code” option in the game’s gift menu:

2016HOOPA

If you want Hoopa then you should get this code as soon as possible. The download code will work until October 9th.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are out now on the 3DS platform.

Nintendo Hosting StreetPass Weekend September 30-October 1st September 24, 2016

Got a 3DS system but running short on new StreetPass data?  We’ve got you covered. Nintendo has announced that they’re going to be hosting a special StreetPass Weekend at Nintendo Zone locations all over the US from September 30th to October 1st.

Traditionally, Nintendo handheld owners who visit these hotspots will get the StreetPass Mii data from the six previous users of that hotspot. However, during a StreetPass Weekend, that concept is turned on its head because during that time Nintendo will send users StreetPass data from six random players from anywhere in the world. If you want a diverse set of StreetPass Miis to fill up your plaza you should totally look into participating.

Nintendo Zone locations are free WiFi access points avalible to Nintendo 2DS and 3DS owners. They can usually be found in businesses like Barnes and Noble, Best Buy, McDonald’s, Burger King, and of course Nintendo NYC.  To find a participating location check here.
