I hope this was the right place to post this. If not, moderator, please place in the correct place and drop and note to me so I may know better next time..
I tried seeking an answer to this everywhere else, on and off site, before posting this here, even Nintendo themselves, but have recieved no satisfactory answer.
I suspect our fine GBAtemp Brain-trust can unwind this tangled web Nintendo weaves if anyone can...
Disclaimer: Let me first point out that this whole problem may be the direct or indirect result of myself not fully understanding this system of linking the nick names to the Nintendo account....
Wanted Result? To Keep Coins/Surveys/register games on Second (really both) systems (I'll call this system "B"
Problem:
Short Version: I have two systems, 3ds, both are registered (the consoles pin) on club nintendo, the nickname from the orignal system is name linked but the nickname from the second and later system is not linked to this account, as per their restrictions. The games downloaded on the 2nd system are not registering on club nintendo, coins not appearing, read longer version for details..
(I have called them, they assured me, the games/coins/surveys would show up [on club Nintendo account]as I bought them, although I doubted the answer to be correct.)
Long Version:
I have a 3ds (Ambassador) transfered to an 3ds (XL) call it System "A"
System "A" Has my name 'Syfyty' Linked to my Club Nintendo account. I have 77 games on it and have been getting coins etc on it for some time. I just used my platinum reward (from "A") and downloaded Donkey Kong Country Returns and more recently Kirbys Dreamland to system "B" which has my other Nickname Redhorse (not name/ linked to the account but console registered on it Name not linked because only one is allowed of course.
How can I receive coins from BOTH systems on that club nintendo account, or is this not possible? I try creating another/separate club nintendo account but as soon as I did this, I entered the system (console numbers, it automatically linked my system, and my actual (real name) name back to my original (first) club nintendo account. I told them of this when I spoke to them on the phone, as this was no attempt to deceive them, I thought this might be allowed, they didn't indicate that is wasn't allowed either...
They had no response for this.... When asked how they expected to have more than one system registered but only one receiving coins, even the club N rep thought that was dumb. I told her "You realize I'm stating the obvious when I say that if Nintendo were to make these damd things account based this would all be a moot point right?" , she agreed as best she could in a manner that she could not be called on it by her supervisors later (but you could tell she really agreed) on when the call was played back, if it was played back...
Her only response to the issue was that as I bought (and paid) for games on system "B" the games/surveys/coins would show up in my club nintendo account.. I bought two yesterday to check this theory, it is not correct. The two games I bought are not showing up in the account. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ANYWAY any suggestions on how to get those coins or what to do would be appreciated. would really help.
Thanks
