So, a friend and I have both bought Mario Kart 8, and have thus been able to choose a free game to go with it. We have now received the download codes, however, my friend has a problem.
The codes expire before next month, and he doesn't have enough space to download his free game at the moment.
I've suggested he does the following:
- Delete Mario 3D World from his system, in order to make space. (not touching his save file of course)
- Download his free game onto the system.
- Delete it from his system.
- Download Mario 3D World back onto his system.
As far as I know, doing this would register the free game as downloaded on his account, and he'll be able to download it again any time in the future.
Is this correct, or have I missed or misunderstood something?
Are there any better ways to do this?
PS: We know he could just get more space for his system, but that is not an option at the moment.

I've not done this myself but I know others who did the same. Indeed, if you make space on your internal memory so you're able to download the game, you'll be able to download it again in the future.
(Unless you delete your Nintendo Network account or the user from your system).
