Ok, here's the scoop I got from the Nintendo support line yesterday when I called about this. Apparently Nintendo is doing bundle registrations differently going forward.
I was told that the Nintendo Land bundled code is triggered by the system registration. Once you've registered your system and linked your account to the console it will register the game to your purchases on the back-end for your points.
I told the guy I was a but leary of this process and he indicated that if for some reason I don't get the product registration for Nintendo Land, I can cut the UPC symbol off the package (really not happy about this idea) and physically mail it into them explaining that I'm missing my registration code. They will then register it for me on the back-end. Ultimately he said wait 7-10 days after I register my system to see if everything is ok and if it doesn't show up to call them back first.
For the record, I think this is a bogus story. Nobody there seemed to have a clue about the game not having a registration code included and at first he was treating it like an anomolly. He had to put me on hold twice to do some checking. I politely told him that given the fact that they are showing a +70 point registration bonus for this title on the site and it's clear nobody got a registration code, they better be working fast on a contengency plan or this is going to be lots of complaints coming there way.
I recommend that everyone call the Nintendo support line and politely ask why they didn't get a registration code and ask what the fix is going to be. If they get enough phone calls (AGAIN BE POLITE) we may get some kind of formal statement here on the issue.
Right now I'm just trying to get past hours of connection errors to even get my system to pull down the initial update so I can link my account, then it's a wait and see matter.
