For those handheld gamers on the fence about purchasing the Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo has just sweetened the deal.  Club Nintendo members that purchase a 3DS XL between March 21st and April 30th will get a free eShop download after registering their new XL.

The deal is limited to Club Nintendo members since a requirement to fulfilling the offer is registering new hardware and game at the Club Nintendo website.  The good news is that a Club Nintendo membership is free and new 3DS XL hardware purchased on or after February 14th, 2013 can qualify for this offer.  This would be a great time to pick up the recently announced Pikachu 3DS XL!
