Nintendo Account

Mr E

Hope so! I'll have LTTP, SMW, Super Metroid and a bunch of others on day 1 if that's the case.

CastorTroy

Metroid Prime Trilogy?

Anyone else getting an error when they click on "Account Activity"?

Edit: Nevermind, it's working now.

I just created a Nintendo account on Friday night, I assume I need to wait til I get a Switch to get a NNID?

They have all our purchase history, now there's no excuse for us not to be able to log in on the Switch and redownload the games there.

For Virtual Console, yeah absolutely. Should be able to transfer those directly and easily. For Wii U / 3DS games, that'd take some proper porting efforts, so can't imagine that being easily available or freely available. I hope they put some effort in to enable some of those games to be available though.

CiDeRmAn

Those games that are available should be freely installed on hardware owned, using the same account.
So I should never have to buy Shovel Knight again.

Star Lord

That'd kind of thing would take either effort to port it, or a Wii U/3DS compatibility mode built in... So there may be a small charge to 'upgrade' to the Switch version, to cover this.

CiDeRmAn

No, I mean the Shovel Knight they are currently coding for the Switch, I shouldn't have to pay for it as I've paid for it twice already, WiiU and 3DS.

Banjo

Well, I can't see them giving it away for free - especially since the intersection of Wii U, 3DS and Switch owners in the first couple of months will probably completely eclipse the Switch, but it'd be nice to at least have some sort of concession for those of us that own both versions.

Regarding "full purchase history" - yeah, since day one of the Wii U, but where are all those unique Stars codes - only redeemable once and only claimable from an original retail purchase - I registered since my Gamecube days? The ones that show, for example, that I purchased Mariokart and Splatoon?

And since that precludes a fair and even handed way of encouraging upgrading to the Switch edition of hte Wii U reduxes, it suggests they just won't bother, or there will be some "gold coins" bull**** discount in My Nintendo...

On another note - would now be a good time to go through the Wii U VC games on the eShop and see what I haven't yet upgraded from the Wii?

Nintendo have just updated their Nintendo account ahead of the Switch's launch. Reading through the terms and conditions, it doesn't look like they've any intent to let us share VC games with more than 1 device.

As long as there is a mechanism to unlink, I'm not too concerned.

Question : I signed into Eshop using my Google account that I linked to Nintendo a few weeks ago....

What is my ID or number? or is that a separate thing again?

Captain Chaos

I can't set up my new Nintendo Account. I go through all the process to where they email me the verification code and they email me a 4 digit code and I'm asked to enter a 5 digit verification code. I've done this 3 times now and keep getting a 4 digit code so it's impossible to set up a new account wtf??

Banjo

I checked my mail from when I set mine up, it was a 4 digit code they sent. Can't remember what happened after that though

The system won't let you enter a 4 digit code, it's 5 or noting so I can't use the e store.:mad::mad:

Serious error on Nintendos part.

i think i made a balls of mine somehow ..i must have registered my daughter at one point with her 3ds as thats what i can see but now wiiu :rolleyes:

It's seperate go to https://accounts.nintendo.com/login_id/edit to see/edit it. You'll need to login.

Worth noting that the user ID is used to log in and nothing more.

You can unlink NNIDs from your Nintendo Account if that's the problem you're having.

https://accounts.nintendo.com/federation

Then link the other nnid. I've never done it but it seems easy.

geotrig

oh excellent o/

Captain Chaos

Still can't sign up for an account because they keep giving me a 4 digit code instead of 5. I give up at this stage, so no e store for me. What a screwed up system.

Star Lord

Was a 4 digit code for me too, and that worked... Maybe ensure you're not copying and pasting in a space as well as the numbers?

I get the code in my gmail account and I'm entering it in on the Switch OS. It won't accept anything except 5 digits as the accept box will not highlight unless 5 numbers are entered. It's impossible. It won't let you submit a 4 digit code or anything else except 5.

Banjo

Set your account up online first - which I thought you had to do regardless, the Switch would not let me set up an account from scratch on the Switch itself. You may be getting the 4 digit code for creating one of the myriad of ID types that you now get on My Nintendo, but the Switch is looking for confirmation of something else. There's at least the Nintendo Account, NNID, User Account name (which might be discrete from the User ID) and a Nickname. The 4 digit code was pushed to me for a Password Reset which I had to do before I could set up an Account Name. I think.

The more I look at this, the more I can't shake that "Unified account system me hole" feeling.

Id say the fact that there is a 4 and a 5 digit account is so you dont try link the wrong thing. Your definitely trying to link the wrong thing.
I bet your going to realise how stupid you are soon enough;-)

Not really, I'm following it step by step exactly what the console is telling me to do and the emails. I've done it about 6 times now, no other way of doing it. Type in email address on switch, click on verification link in mail, press ok on switch and enter code sent in next mail on the only box on the switch screen.

Star Lord

Try it on the website instead to get your account verified, should just be able to sign in on the Switch then.

Riesen_Meal

Thanks for that /\/ollog, I managed to put Fieldog on there through the link you posted...

No caps allowed though seemingly so my OCD has gone a bit mental...

Bought Acorns and Bit Runner 2 in sales, neither was amazing but I guess if the points are expiring anyway you might as well. Any thoughts on Zen Pinball?

Indeed, they used to have something like this before.

When I got my Wii U plus 3 games I earned enough points to download a copy of F-Zero, which was great!

Incentive to buy more games if they had it back...

I feel like I'm bumping this thread from pretty far in the past, but I got an e-mail from Nintendo about new games available for Gold Coins

https://my.nintendo.com/news/d28da5387473e1fd

Toki Tori - 20 Gold
Xtype -30 Gold
Tengami - 70 Gold
Nano Assault EX -80 Gold

I haven't played any of these, but I know I own Nano Assault from that Nintendo Humble bundle from many moons ago

EDIT: I had a look in my old e-mails and the previous games (Super Little Acorns etc) stop being available this Saturday, so if anyone was on the fence about those, it's time to make a decision

No more 30 Platinum points every week for signing in to Miiverse. That's quiet a hefty chunk over a year, 1,560. Not that there was ever anything really good to spend them on. Still, there's the 30 for signing in to the Wii U eShop. Strange, Nintendo didn't shut that down.

Here Are The New My Nintendo Rewards For Switch, 3DS, And Wii U Owners

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/here-are-the-new-my-nintendo-rewards-for-switch-3d/1100-6455602/

I don't know why they put Switch in the title, it's misleading, as there are no Switch My Nintendo rewards. Perhaps for more clicks or more searches online. The discounts aren't great as usual, I don't see them yet on the site, they may have got them early as nobody else has mentioned them and there is a chance that they could be for the US. The one standout for me is 110 gold points for a 30% discount on the Wii U classic, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. That can't be right, surely it has to be platinum points. That's...just...insulting.

CiDeRmAn

I still have that game, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, in it's wrapper, after picking it up on the launch night of the Switch.
Don't see a reason any time soon to open it either.

Miitomo Has Officially Ended

"We want to thank you for enjoying Miitomo so much.
Miitomo’s service has come to an end as of Wednesday 9th May 2018, 16:00 (JST).

We’ve come a long way since the app was launched, and once again we want to thank everyone who’s been involved.

We hope to go on to even bigger and better things in the future with Nintendo, and we hope you’re there to share the fun.

We hope to see you again soon!"

I knew it was ending soon but wasn't sure of the date. It ended with a damp squib. Explains why I couldn't log in this morning. I don't know why I did but I'd collect the daily rewards, play Candy Drop then close it, all over in less than a minute. It really wasn't very good.
