Nintendo of Europe to hold Yoshi hunt for Mario Tennis Open in the UK

140 Comments

Nintendo of Europe has announced they will be holding a Yoshi Hunt for Mario Tennis Open in the UK. The hunt will involve tracking down QR codes that will unlock different-colored, playable Yoshi characters in Mario Tennis Open. The hunt will begin on the 25th of May with the Black Yoshi QR code. You can click here to read the specific details to participate.

  • Legend of icarus

    might just get it now

  • Thatguywhohasacomputerandisbored

    those Europeans are lucky!!! I guess it evens out because they are to blame for One Direction…

    • Craig

      Oi! One Direction were cool, until they were turned into a freak-show by teaming up with BTR and iCarly. Americans have warped them into some crazy kid band, when over here they’re not seen as that so much.

    • Omarsonic9

      North Americans and europeans are so lucky…
      Nintendo Video works for them
      Nintendo Zone works for them
      and in Dubai… NOTHING WORKS!
      I have to go to europe for Nintendo video and zone to work

    • miauw

      I live in UK, but I’m not going to run around like a headless chicken lol, i’ll just wait for the QR codes to be uploaded on youtube ! ;P so anyone of you around the world can get them, just wait…i don’t really see the point of it

    • miauw

      and I agree – one direction SUCKs ass!!! they were always shit, they weren’t even a real band, just put together by simon on xfactor or something

    • Flip

      Omarsonic9, there are legal ways to make them work on every country. Search for it.

  • superstarxalien169

    Lol, Yoshi looks horrified. Probably because of their hunt XD.

    • George

      No. A black yoshi is stalking him.

    • Zeem

      “Aghhh! PERVERT!”

    • Kct16

      I think he’s supposed to be smiling…or Mario’s gonna drop him down another pit. XD

  • KING Z

    Im So Glad Black Yoshi Was Confirmed! But I’ll Just Get Him Off The Internet.

    • AceOfBlades247

      Same, good thing there’s the internet

    • Craig

      I don’t mean to sound rude because I’m not… but are you black by any chance? I just notice that those who are black, seem to always literally like everything of the black colour (cars, consoles, phones, etc…) It’s really strange lol!

    • KING Z

      No im not black, i just like Black yoshi cuz he has a better color than the other yoshi’s.

    • AceOfBlades247

      No I’m Mixed American and Indian (the ones from India) I just like the colors Black, Red, Blue, and RAINBOW!

    • AceOfBlades247

      Put the . after mixed

  • BlueToad

    Theres going to be 8 yoshis you can get Through QR codes!

    • KING Z

      Yep, a mii suite, black, white, light blue, blue, red, pink and yellow

    • EpicLight*

      They should do this with different characters too. Like hold different colored costumes or something.

  • BlueToad

    I’m getting MTO free by trading in SM3DL!

    • http://NintendoWorlds.net TurboPikachu

      I’m getting MTO at a discount by trading in Sonic Generations 3D.

    • Oops

      Sonic Generations sucked it took me 4 hours to beat

    • http://www.youtube.com/flyinglevel Nick Knack

      I’m getting this game for $39.99 USD if I buy it.

  • Kirby 64

    Black Yoshi? Heck Yeah!!!!! :D
    hope white yoshi will be playable also.

    • Big E

      Last time we saw a black Yoshi was back with…Yoshi’s Story, right?

    • Kirby 64

      @Big E
      correct.

    • Kirby 64

      @Big E
      my mistake.last time he appeared was in yoshi’s island DS.

    • KING Z

      According To Mario Wiki, White, Red, Black, & Other Yoshi’s Will Be The QR Characters For This Game.

    • Big E

      He did? Oh well. Never finished the game (Nor do I plan on doing so).

    • koops3

      They could have done something like a QR code that unlocks Samus, but no.

    • eha081

      @Kirby 64
      He appeared in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

  • millsy

    No racist jokes please.

    • George

    • Racist

      Whats faster then a black Yoshi stealing your Mushrooms? His nephew stealing your extra life

  • Outlaw

    • Kirby 64

    • KING Z

      Not Gonna Happen

    • AceOfBlades247

      Like MLK they had a Dream, but theres are stupid.

    • Outlaw

      @AceOfBlades247: the only who said that we have a dream is you, we only have hopes, and you mix hopes with dreams and that is stupid, and with that, is stupid compare a simple gamer-hope with a national dream.

      Por eso, y por tu gravatar tan inteligente, puedo percibir que solo estas troleando.

    • AceOfBlades247

      @Outlaw

      It was a joke. Was not ment to be serious. I got that joke from TMZ and alot of Critics gave that joke Thumbs up. So, I used it. U Mad Bro?

      What is that spanish or something and if it is “No Abla Elspanio” or is it Espanio?

    • Zack

      I think you mean to say “No hablo espanol” if you want tell someone you don’t speak spanish. conjugate your verbs for gods sake man

    • ErinDwight

      Not to be mean but your missing the ñ on español… Try alt.164 for the ñ…

    • Outlaw

      @AceOfBlades247: I mad? No, i don´t like these jokes, make jokes of people comments it’s nasty, is also considered trolling, but it´s OK.

      @ErinDwight: Exactamente se les ha olvidado la “ñ” pero supongo que pueden copiar y pegarla, así que esta: Ñ

      Como dices, no solo del ingles se vive, en este mundo hay que aprender mas de un idioma, si no siempre habrá militantes :p

    • AceOfBlades247

      So I’m a troll? YAY I like trolling Random people when I play games online with other people.

    • AceOfBlades247

      So I’m a troll? YAY I always like trolling clueless noobs on Games I play online!!!

    • AceOfBlades247

      OMFG what is with the Double post it said the first one was an error so I rewrote it.

    • Outlaw

      I said that you do a troll joke, but if you say that you like trolling random people when you play games online, then the answer to your question is obvious!!

    • ErinDwight

      De nada! Espero que de algo ayude mi pequeño soporte… :)

    • AceOfBlades247

      Opps Double Post. Another Comment said this But It’s Awaiting Moderation.

  • Pro

    Thats smart. Unlock characters with QR codes. Send out updates for games that make them able to read QR codes to unlock more characters. I hope to see Waluigi for MK7.

    • http://youtube.com/the8guys Dylan

      same

    • Carlinhos

      I’d rather have new vehicle parts [with different stats from the current ones] or new tracks over characters.

    • waluigi

      I want to get in mk7

  • George

    *insert racist joke here*

    • koops3

      Where’s David when we need him?

    • Racist

      whats faster then a black man stealing your tv? his nephew stealing your vcr

    • Zack

      oh boy, racist joke time. What do you do if you see a mexican on a bike? Chase him, cuz it’s probably your bike.

    • Wichi

      Zack Im Mexican and believe me… some day I will steal your bike…
      =D

  • http://youtube.com/the8guys Dylan

    euros are luckys :P idk what u get from this. random yoshi colors ?

    • http://youtube.com/the8guys Dylan

      oh nvm i got it theyre lucky

  • Derpy Hooves

    Wow that sounds great!!!

    But that sucks, i live in Equestria…

    • AceOfBlades247

      Where is Equestria?

    • Zack

      I feel really bad for you. I don’t even know what that is.

    • That one guy formerly known as the guy with the truly hilarious name that recited the intro dialog of that one hilariously terrible game called “Link: The faces of evil:”

      @zack it’s a place where ponies live. Does this information reduce sadness? :P

    • AceOfBlades247

      OMG! Really? Is Rainbow Dash there?! Lol XD

    • Me

      I know what Equestria is, and it saddens me that the one place I thought was Brony-free is now tainted. I understand that you like the show, just don’t shove it in our faces with your bro-hooves and silly role-playing (for example, see idiot above). Until there is a MLP:FiM game on the 3DS, I don’t want to be reminded of this god-awful show on this website.

    • AceOfBlades247

      Orly? I’m an idiot for playing along?

    • That one guy formerly known as the guy with the truly hilarious name that recited the intro dialog of that one hilariously terrible game called “Link: The faces of evil:”

      One post about ponies = shoving in people’s face

    • Derpy Hooves

      @Me

      i like your arguments (that was sarcasm) and i like how you came here just to share your hate that no one cares about

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/dconan12a Dconan12a

    I know this way off topic but we would like to invite all 3DS owner from Laredo, TX to participate on the “Kid Icarus: Uprising Multiplayer Battle Day” for more information go to http://www.meetup.com/Nintendo3DS/Laredo-TX/

    • AceOfBlades247

      And if it dosen’t come to the States we always have the back up plan. (The Internet)

    • 3ds isawesome!

      @AceOfBlades247

      Shit just got real bro

  • Zack

    Idk much about this works, but even if only Nintendo of Europe is holding it, wouldn’t anyone be able to participate? Since it’s just QR codes…

    • Classic Hyper Sonic The Hedgehog A.K.A Rc/AGES

      Thats what I’m thinking too. I hope those European gamers post the QR codes online!

    • KING Z

      ^ they will

  • Mark95

    I think the QR codes unlocks content that is already on the game.

    • KING Z

      Sorry but your wrong about that.

    • powerclaw1

      @KING Z: No, he’s right. Kinda. The content is already in the game, but the QR codes unlock it.

  • cm93

    Yoshi! (yahoo!)

    • AceOfBlades247

      OMG your a Yoshi whisperer!!! You knew what it ment!

  • lizzie1238

    I don’t understand this, could someone please explain? Where do you find the QR codes that unlock the Yoshis?

    • BlueToad

      Look on google images. I already found the white yoshi QR code.

  • http://www.mybaby-world.com ymmas626

    One Direction isn’t a bad band I listen to there music & BTR’s music both heck my pet cockatiel is a big fan of BTR & what’s so bad about one direction performing on icarly?

    • Ness

      Screw you and your late-ass news.

  • Nintendo Knight

    GUYS POKEMON BLACK AND WHITE 2 ARE 3DS ENHANCED

    • Big E

      True.

    • kelvin

      isnt it dsi enhanced although its the same thing

    • AceOfBlades247

      Yes, there the same only difference is the 3D, but that’s not going to happen.

    • Big E

      No. 3DS enhanced. They are able to communicate with a 3DS-only game that uses AR technology (Which the DSi is unable to do).

    • Nintendo Knight

      new forms that are 3ds only

      pokemon tranfer from ar searcher

  • zorbo

    LOL!!!poor nintendo fans this pile of tripes latest reviews are in with an average score of 6 out of 10!!!LMFAO!!!
    when will nintendo learn to stop milking the mario franchise games and think up new ideas for games!!!
    This was one of nintendos BIG releases and according to the reviews its an epic failure and a watered down version of mario power tennis!!
    way to go nintendo ripping off your customers again with utter dribble!!

    • kelvin

      all the mario tennis games got reviews like this
      and it doesnt mean it is really bad

    • My name is NOT Earl

      The reviews are the thing that makes me now think twice about getting this game :/ well all I can wait for is kingdom hearts 3d, new super Mario bros 2, and Pokemon white 2

    • Me

      Oh yes, they release one botched game for the console and now they’re ripping us off. Also, I see that every other AMAZING game for this console is ignored in your absolute failure of a comment. Also, you seem not to understand the concept of an idea (trying to avoid saying the idea of an idea lol XD) because Nintendo are obviously adding heaps of new ideas into their already existing franchises. Unless the 3DS never has a decent game for the rest of it’s lifespan, Nintendo will not have failed us in this particular situation. I know that some haters are finding it hard to come to grips with the fact that the 3DS is doing incredibly well, and that all of Nintendo’s new games are adding awesome new ideas to their already awesome franchises, but please try to hide your already apparent ignorance from the educated of us on this site.
      Thanks.

    • Outlaw

      “This was one of nintendos BIG releases”

      LMFAO!!! the game was made for camelot and isn´t of nintendos BIG releases, wait for Paper Mario or Luigi´s mansion reviews ;D

  • zorbo

    Just when nintendo were getting on a role,they are destroying the competition in japan,but with lame games like these they are taking a step backwards!!!
    the ps vita is an epic failure at the moment and nintendo need to counter this with awesome games not bring out utter rubbish coz after e3 the vita has awesome games coming out!!!

    • EpicLight*

      Merio Tennis? Lame? Get out. xD

    • Neil

      Dude lame game? wtf… The games alone from the 3DS is selling 20 times more then the Vita lol xD

      When you call Mario Tennis lame, what isn’t lame for you? Real tennis? Why play real tennis when u’ve got unreal tennis with which u can use special effects and so? That’s much more awesomness then lame “real games” Go and play it in real life douchebag ^^
      Ps: Why are you here when you don’t like Mario Tennis lololololol
