Misc is it worth it to link my NNID?

[DJPlace]

just want to make sure if it's worth it.

If you care about E-shop or online functionality then yes.
If not then you can still use it as an normal unit.

No, the only real advantage of a NNID is Miiverse (and it comes with a disadvantage - no more country hopping for country-locked Nintendo Zone distributions, assuming there will be any more)

For everything else (downloading freemium apps, redownloading paid apps if you bought them with a NNID, pokebank, badge arcade) homebrews outperform the official way
