Can I Log Into My Nintendo Network Account on a Different Console?
Answer:

-No, you cannot. A Nintendo Network Account can only be used on the console where it was created. In the future, you will be able to use your Nintendo Network Account with future Nintendo consoles and other devices, such as PC's.

-Currently, the Wii U supports up to 12 individual Nintendo Network ID's per console, which enables each member of the family to have his or her own unique identity on the system.

Patrick even had faith and thought you might have been able to change it until Brad mentinoned that bombshell.


I guess you gotta call Nintendo for now (if it ever changes)

[Eel O'Brian]

man, they still don't get the concept of user accounts

[Diunx]

When do you guys think the port begging will begin? I say 6 months from now when even ninthings can't deny the lack of actual games on the thing.

posted from my Blackberry Curve 8520

the port begging started long ago though.

Check all those "why is this not on WiiU" posts

I should have been more specific, I'm talking more about retro port begging like "Konami should release MGS4 on WiiU, where are the WiiU version of the other mass effect games?, if square was any smart they would release ff13 in weeeoo!

prole does great things for his baby girl. you could learn a thing or two from his andrex-chan

[Eel O'Brian]

For a company which likes to present itself as a manufacturer of easy to use hardware and software, they sure do weave a complicated web of hoop-jumping bullshit.

[AdmiralViscen]

I cannot believe how terrible this shit is. What is the market for this product?

[Diunx]

The giant bomb guys raging at nintendo was awesome

[Eel O'Brian]

no-no, that's a good thing, nintendo's just teaching you to be happy with what you have

it's a valuable life lesson

[pilonv1]

Nintendo being Nintendo

Will this Giant Bomb thing be available later?

[Van Cruncheon]

hey, i don't gotta buy the brat anything else! merry xmas, honey! here's some long download times!

[Eel O'Brian]

time to bring back that old Borecast staple feature "Indefensible!" for a special Christmas edition

[fistfulofmetal]

Will this Giant Bomb thing be available later?

they will archive it. probably split up into quicklooks for non-premiums and the entire thing for premiums

[Sho Nuff]

Wara Wara

Oh yes.  Oh, YES.

[Oblivion]

Drinky-san, can I have your Wii-U after your done with it?

[Great Rumbler]

Arkham City:

-7/10 from EGM "New glitches and unnecessary gimmicks make this a worse version than its predecessors."
-7/10 from Destructoid "took things that already worked perfectly and shook them until they cracked. Not shattered completely, but undoubtedly broken, just a little bit"

Tank! Tank! Tank!:

-4.5/10 from Destructoid "there's nothing more upsetting than a game that believes, if it's wacky enough, it can get away with being crap."

ZombiU:

-6.3/10 from IGN "there are so many better zombie games out there that ZombiU really doesn’t demand anyone’s attention."
-5/10 from Game Informer "the sum of these parts is a horrifying Frankenstein’s Monster"

[Don Flamenco]

by all accounts, disastrous launch.

[Diunx]

Ryan Davis is so fucking hot.

Look at that giant ball of fat chugging down cokes! drink some water fatso!

I guess Reggie was right. It's not the same game

[cool breeze]

I got back home and wanted to try nintendo land.  Yikes! wait 15 minutes for it to download and install an update

but you have a excuse

   I gotta adopt a kid or something.  The shame is too great.

If they give you the option to store your credit card information, for the love of god hit "no"

they don't know what the fuck they're doing

[Sho Nuff]

If one person on GAF found it on DAY ONE, I have the feeling that other people are going to

So that's the Miiverse debug menu AND the Gamepad debug menu both on the same day...jeez

[fistfulofmetal]

To make a child's account, you have to pay $0.50 cents with a credit card.

Nintendo: "Our records show that there is nobody under the age of 18 playing our new console. We've successfully broke back into the hardcore demographic. Congratulations are in order."

oh ffs!!

[Tasty]

man, they still don't get the concept of user accounts

I've been uneasy about Wii U accounts since Nintendo started talking about them. The emphasis was obviously on local accounts, so I thought that's all we would get when everyone was like "awesome, Nintendo accounts!"

Nintendo Network IDs are actually a bonus and this isn't the worst case scenario for me. But I was pretty pessimistic about the whole thing from the start.

Obviously they should let you use your account on other systems, even if you have to use a website or something to "link" and "unlink" them so they ensure you're not hooking a bunch up for piracy. Maybe we'll get there eventually. Until then, this definitely blows.

[Huff]

What a great launch, nintendo does it again!

Your identity is already theft.

He made himself an admin.

This is pretty fucking funny

[Don Flamenco]

HA!  I knew it wasn't a genuine black guy singing that song.  I can't believe they put a "black guy" filter on his voice...japan u so crazy


If I were the OP of that thread, I'd say fuck it to ever having a Nintendo account again and just try to cause mass destruction.

[Sho Nuff]

It blows my fucking mind that anyone could access that kind of admin panel via fucking RELEASE HARDWARE

[Huff]

Besides giving access to their entire system to some random gaffer, the network account being tied to the machine is the dumbest move so far. so fucking stupid

[MrAngryFace]

I picked one up- I couldnt miss out on the web browsing capabilities- also Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper get

[Himu]

This is amazing

[MrAngryFace]

I had to ask specifically for Orochi Warriors 3- all they had on display was Mario n ZombiiU and mass defect 3 and batman
