that part about accounts not being transferable is complete bullshit, what happens your purchased games if it breaks?

If its anything like the Wii, they'll send you a new console with e-shop credit for all your purchases. So if you bought $100 worth of games, they'll send the console with $100 worth of e-shop money. Totally ridiculous.

NINTENDOOOOOO

I'm confused... What about the account is locked to the system?

Everything, that's why it's fucking stupid.

The WiiU and 3DS should have both had Near Field Communication technology in them and then when you get close to ANY WiiU with your 3DS you are automatically signed into your Nintendo account. (Yet another reason for consumers to purchase a 3DS. Win win for Nintendo... riiiight?)

That took me less than a minute to come up with, and they are already like half-way there.

Nintendo just doesn't get it.

Nintendo really needs to consult with someone on customer accounts and online becuase they don't get it at all.
