TNB Latest News

In addition to bringing Pokémon Snap to the North American Virtual Console this week, Nintendo of America has ushered the new ‘Gifting’ feature to the service, allowing customers to to buy and send games to those they’ve traded Friend Codes with.

Nintendo said in a statement, “It’s an easy and inexpensive way to give your fellow Nintendo buffs the gift of a classic game—no wrapping paper required. And don’t worry about duplication. If your friend already has the game you’re trying to give, you’ll get a simple message and be bumped back into the catalog to continue shopping.”

The feature, although not announced specifically for Australia as yet, is expected to be on offer this Friday.
