NNIDs and Miiverse are finally coming to the 3DS

[the_randomizer]

Nintendo should take a look at Sony's cross-buy option that they offer
so
if you buy a VC on 3ds or WiiU, you get both
but that will NEVER happen
with a NNID it should not be a hard thing to do

and
will the Deluxe Digital Promotion with items on the 3ds

I never thought I'd say this, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. The day something like that is implemented is the day I begin to be worried. It would be nice to have cross-VC features as there is no reason for there not to be such a feature. 3DS VC games and Wii U VC games on opposite consoles would be awesome.

Great job, Nintendo. You're moving from square one to square two!

...Too bad the competition's already at square ten.

Hmm... should I wait for this to buy Ace Attorney 5, or go ahead and get it now...? Or... should I wait for emunand and see how that works out with the new update... hmm...

Shit! I'm at a firmware where Gateway may release a support for it, making it eligible for my 3DS. Guess I'm fucked.

Miiverse is long overdue and good to have on 3DS, but what is the real benefit of combining the funds on the two systems aside from buying 3DS stuff via Wii U and vice versa? Cross-play isn't even happening on it as far as we can tell.

Super Smash Bros says Hi I bet these titles will have cross play in some form

I wondering what will happen to friends you have registered on your 3ds.

Will they be overwritten with friends that are tied to your miiverse account? or will they be added to your miiverse friends list?

I have 2 separate list of friends one on my 3ds and the other on my wiiu. i wonder if im gonna have to find some new 3ds friends(i.e. opening up a new pokemon FC share thread)

Just use GBATemp, it could just get shut down similarly to swapnote, and greater freedom of speech is available here as well

I don't think so. The pokemon in the safari goes by your friends' friend codes. Meaning the friend codes are not going away and you are stuck having a separate friends list for each system.

I'm not familiar with the Wii U and NNID.

Does this mean EASY* recovery of purchased games should my 3DS catch fire**?


*no jumping through hoops, calling Nintendo on the phone, begging and crying, etc., just logging in with your NNID on the new 3DS

**with no way to do a proper system transfer to a new 3DS

I heard earlier this year that Nintendo was considering the idea.

Nope, apparently you still have to undergo system transfer if you want to move your nnid and its content to a new 3ds.
Hence the 1 nnid / 1 3ds.

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/13/can-one-nintendo-network-id-single-3ds/

If your 3ds was to theoretically catch fire, your nnid would be stuck tied to that 3ds with all of your content.
Unless, nintendo implements some way to untie your nnid from the 3ds its currently registered on, like psn does.
But i doubt they thought that far, maybe if you contact customer service they could probably do that for you.


Basically as it is, the nnid is being used to access miiverse and share your balance(money) between both systems.
As for the content itself, it seems its still gonna be tied to the system not to the nnid. (For both the 3ds and wiiU)
This is why, i have yet to make a purchase in the e-shop, if i do, itll probably be for some dlc. definitely not for a full retail game.

So 90% of the people here cheering and fuck-yeahing are very confused about what's just been announced.

No people, you still won't be able to happily spend hundreds of $/€ on eShop games and have peace of mind.

If it's stolen/lost/take_a_bath, you could easily burn 1000$ (20 major games, not so uncommon).
