[Tigran]

I thought I heard it would be coming about mid-day.. Of course I could easily -easily- be wrong.

Well for Nintendo it is 3am so we wouldn't really hear anything until at least 1pm for us people with EST time.

it might be the Nintendo account

Right... That's kinda what I was thinking. But I guess I didn't specify time frames at all... my bad.

That's okay. It's because of Nintendo that I give a shit.

 

[Tigran]

Honestly.. I love nintendo.. and right now I don't give two shits. Mostly because more than likely I will A) Be asleep B) Playing Lego Dimensions C) Playing Skylanders D) Playing Witcher E) Playing Xenoblade F) Watching Doctor who.

I find it easier to just wait till evening and get all my info in one go unless it's something cool like a direct, which is another reason I doubt the "bigness" of this announcement. There is no direct. Unless this announcement is some big nintendo direct or something.

I wonder how they will announce it now that I think about it.

Twitter and or Facebook.

true. I hope it is bigger then that though.

 

[Tigran]

I do to.. Just doubt it. This was just some guy on a podcast stating it. Yes I know it's a nintendo employee.. but it still seems to have garnered way more attention than I think it should have.

Well, if it's a Nintendo Account related announcement, they will probably send a mail to every Club Nintendo member.
In any case, it's probably going to be on nintendo.com's front page, so it shouldn't be very hard to find

You guys are overreacting. The guy probably just meant that hes getting a raise today.

It's not just a employee it's their rep of sales

Everything points out to a change in their online infrastructure, and it's definitely something important.

It could well be *i hope it is..* but at the same time.. if it was such a big change.. wouldn't we get a direct?

Please note I would be very -very- happy to be wrong. But in cases like this, I tend not to be simply cause I do err on the side of caution. x.x;

I'd hope so. Keep a eye on this thread. I'll waste my time so you don't have to!

Well, Nintendo Directs are for games, and we had one not too long ago. It would be a pretty boring (and empty) direct if it was all about the new account system. And, furthermore, since Japanese people can already register to this new system, it wouldn't make much sense for us to get a direct when Japan didn't.

It's cool. This thread hyped it up so much. However that is why I love nintendos fanbase
