Well I learned my lesson. Bad part is I knew not to go on but I was to excited to play online. Now I have 2 N3ds's ( got a free one) lol. One can't go online. I spoke with Nintendo and lucky enough my nnid wasn't ban. Just my console. Error code 022-2812 was just the console. So I was able to speak to Nintendo. Unlink my nnid from the old system and link it to the new system. No purchases lost. Basically I told them straight up and they allowed me to have at least my nnid. And based on the rep I spoke to, off the record not recorded. This error code is a permanent ban on the console.

To everyone complaining about Nintendo banning you for playing a leaked game online, you have no one to blame but yourself.

First of all, thinking that going online with a game that isn't officially released yet, would go unnoticed is being extremely naive. Don't you realize that Nintendo's servers keep logs of who's connected and when?

Second of all you're playing a pirated game which is a HUGE violation of Nintendo's TOS for online services. I'm not going to get into the whole ethical debate about whether piracy is right or wrong, just the fact that you should understand that when you violate the companies TOS they have every right legakly (abs otherwise) to ban you from accessing their network.

Put it into perspective, let's say hypothetically, you give an aquitance the password to your WiFi. All the sudden you notice your network is bogged down. Come to find out, the person you gave your password too is responsible (maybe they have a serious porn addiction and are constantly streaming it on 10 different screens all at once and torrenting etc, not a very realistic example, but trying to lighten the mood with some humor). Now aren't you well within your rights to change your WiFi password and not share the new one with said person. Just trying to make a point.

Again, not trying to debate the ethics a piracy itself, just saying that if you knowingly do something that Nintendo doesn't want you doing while accessing their online services,you're taking a big gamble and any ban that results from it, is no fault, but your own.

To add to your good points, most pirates play these games knowing that they are violating Nintendo's TOS and that Nintendo have already given fair warning that they will disable certain features on offending consoles. This isn't something that they've just started doing out of the blue to spite users, it's a clearly stated consequence and to be expected. So it's difficult to sympathise with piracy users who act surprised or even offended that Nintendo have kept their word and banned their consoles when this is something that they have already been told would happen. To push the point even further, some (but not all) piracy users have acted as though they are entitled to free games before their official release with impunity, and were angered when they could not receive the early access they were never promised by Nintendo and instead suffered the consequences.

So I completely agree with your point, it's really a matter of "what did you expect would happen?".

Edit:
Whoops, looks like you added a bit at the end of your post and that pretty much summarises my post anyway. Heh.

It's intresting because those who got a legit cartrige version before the release and went online have become banned too. While the news reports are talking explicitly about pirates.

Well, I actually installed the game few hours after the midnight release in europe. I haven't tried the online mode out, nor i don't see a personal purpose for now using it atm. So, i'll still wait for user reports
