Thanks for the heads up Dave!

Had already registered my 3DS XL, but a button click later on my Club Nintendo account and now should have the Layton game to download come January :D

I believe the cut-off date is January 15th, Dave. At least, that’s what it says here on the official site:

*edit* Whoops, never mind. That’s already what it says in the article. I should learn how to read.
