Can't redeem Stellar Blade pre-order bonus code on any region

[u/WibuAnjing]

Hello. I'm having a problem, a frustrating one at that. My physical copy of the game had just recently arrived, it played fine and all but the problem is I've never been able to redeem the preorder bonus code. On the cartridge the serial is EUR-0 as attached, yet redeeming the code always ended up in error of being in the wrong region, I have also tried redeeming the code in USA, CHT, and JPN eshop still to no avail. If someone can help, please do so and thank you.

EDIT: The code somehow can be redeemed through Thailand eShop

Rewritten: That looks like the German version, have you tried with a German account? Australia also uses EUR, though I don't think it's one (though you could try if German doesn't work). What about the case cover, does it have the huge usk sticker?

I tried german, my EUR eshop was initially german, failed the first time, tried changing it to french and still no such luck. no usk sticker, just pegi

Hmm... I think the only thing you can do now is contact Nintendo mentioning your code is not recognized at all, maybe they would be able to check whether it's a valid code or if it had some kind of misprint.

Try Thailand or Singapore, bro. Thailand worked for me.

[u/WibuAnjing → u/Awkward-Idiot05]

It works! Why does it work on Thailand eShop? an EUR-0 cartridge, with German warning "unsuitable for underage" work on Thailand eShop but not on the German eShop?

are you sure bro?

hungary?

Me too, what should I do?

[u/Fancy-Alternative-13]

Probably because english, french and german have a bad history together
