Mario Tennis Open QR Codes, Available For… Not All In a twist I personally did not know, it seems that QR codes, which Nintendo is using to handle extra characters and such for MTO, can actually be region-locked. I thought it was too fishy when I first heard they were going the QR route for specific locations on the globe. Someone can just grab and copy the code online, I thought. Nope! Sorry for those (including me) that thought it could be easier. As far as North America goes, here are Red Yoshi and Blue Yoshi (a facebook poll, apparently). I found out about this from the Swap Note app on my 3DS, but (like I said) someone’s already put it up for those without Nintendo Club accounts: Yoshi outfit. For you UKers, a Black Yoshi distribution is in the works for the 25th and 26th (aka like, now). Check the link to see if any of the Asda stores that will have the codes are near you! Sadly, like the other NA codes, the Black Yoshi code is region-locked. Australians also have a special on both Black AND White Yoshi. The official Nintendo site also hints at Pink Yoshi to be found on a game site. The obvious choice it blurts out doesn’t seem to have any sort of code at the moment. As soon as the code goes out, it’ll go here. EDIT: Just in case anyone glosses over how to get the codes.  Boot the game up On the Select File screen Press up on the D-Pad and press Start Repeat until you get what you want
