wii u account system

Nintendo will adopt a unified account system for the launch of Wii U, the company have confirmed.

This will later be made compatible with the Nintendo 3DS, although there was no given time frame.

“A unified account system will be implemented later this year with the launch of the Wii U,” explains David Marshall, a member of the Nintendo of Canada customer service team. “Eventually this same account system will be made compatible with Nintendo 3DS systems. At this time we have no additional details to offer and nothing to indicate how or if this will work outside the United States and Canada.

“In the meantime, if the system has a problem, taking it to an Authorized Service Center will maintain the Nintendo eShop account. If the system is stolen, we can transfer the account to a new system once we are provided with a valid police report.

“Of course, you asked this question because of the upcoming launch of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in retail and digital formats. What you need to know is that the digital format will only be available in the United States and Canada. We have nothing to announce regarding Latin American availability.”
