Hi, I wan't to clarify something, maybe you guys can help me with this, it is said everywhere that the games are not tied to yout NNID account but in the intro for linking a NNID to the 3DS it says the opposite, look i took a photo.

It is in spanish, but it says this in english.

"Erase the Nintendo Network Identificator
If you delete the nintendo network identificator, you will also delete the TRANSACTIONS of the account and your eshop balance"

I want you to notice the word TRANSACTIONS, because when you buy something in your 3DS in the eshop they make you a bill (I think thats the word, in spanish is boleta, but it is like a voucher or something) and also notice the picture in the bottom screen, it shows a Mii losing a nintendo 3DS game icon and what I guess is a screenshot from miiverse.

Maybe we can clarify why nintendo decided to put these advices if they wouldn't tie our purchases to our account.

well I ask for your comprehension if my redacting wasn't the better, I'm not a natural english speaker.

don't worry the translation is correct.

mmm.... then I say that erasing the NNID is like erase your wifi ID(don't remember exactly how was called) on the pre-NNID system then, when you do that you lose your purchases and the ability of use the already installed software, since that is the personal key of the console.
basically they took the NNID and adapted it to the current system, so the only good thing about this change is Miiverse.

Garro I don´t really know, but it seems that somewhat the games are actually registered to your account by what I can see, because if it wasn't like that, if you delete your account, or unlink it from the 3DS, you should be able to play your purchased games, and this section of the EULA of this update states that it is te contrary.

I probably seem to read too much into these things, but the advertising before enreting the eshop for the first time you enter, says that your current account activity will be transfered to this NNID, I took photos again of these.

I like Nintendos hard and heavy bullshit warning lol

IMPORTANT: After the Nintendo 3DS system is updated, any existing or future unauthorized technical modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS system, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your system, may render the system permanently unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorized modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS system may be removed. Failure to accept the update may render games unplayable.

Yeah right, you are going to brick systems...


let them try, they would be damaging personal property and lawsuits will happen if they try to remotely brick anyones device, you see why firmware updates are not for our benefits? but some people still think they are, no they are used as a form of control, i bet no one in this topic read the terms and conditions either.

What everyone seems to think it says: "If you mess with your 3DS we'll brick it bwahaha"
What that message means: "If you fuck up the 3DS and it breaks after an update, don't blame us"

I have a question. I live in sweden but Im moving to another country that has a different curency. will I still be able to buy games on the e-shop? Should I keep my swedish bank account and transfer money to that account in order to purchase stuff online or doesnt it work because I am in another country? Does changing curency meen that all my purchased games will be deleted?

If this is the case then WTF nintendo!? Well I'll still be in Europe so should be able to buy any physical game atleast. But I really want to be able to use Pokétransfer.

You can still use family accounts to get coins from both systems.

But you cant transfer purchases thats what I'm getting at. 2 3DS's means you have to buy everything twice.
Then will Nintendo come into line with the other systems and have an account system not a console system as these days some households have more than 1 console and dont want to purchase the same thing more than once. Thats forcing families to buy only 1 console.

Not a bad update. I don't use miiverse much, but its nice here and there, even though I think its a little clunky compared to the Wii U version. My favorite part is the shared balance though. Now if I get a eshop card as a gift i don't have to debate where it goes. Same for my DDP rewards.

Edit: That is, it will be good to share balances whenever the eshop works again.

It seems like it is a good update. But, not enough for me to update it on my Japanese 3DS. (I have a fear of losing my JP 3ds digital purchases since I used my card).

Yeah, I know that im only able to use one curency. But will I be able to use swedish curency in another country if I still have my swedish bank account active?
Or does nintendo know that im somewhere else in the world and say something like "Access denied".
Because im moving from Sweden to the Czech republic to work and I will live there for some years.
It would be nice to take all my games with me and still be able to buy new ones online.

Miiverse for 3ds seems nice, but I really wish that they had more groups to comment in, and the ability to message friends from your friends list. And seriously, no Kid Icarus:Uprising community on miiverse? Why are there so little communities available? They should also have a general discussion community.
