Nintendo accounts have been a thing for a couple of years now, in the form of NNIDs. The NNIDs can only be bound to one 3DS and one Wii U at any given time, but the purchases are linked to the NNID.

At some point they're going to replace NNIDs with a new system called - wait for it - "Nintendo Account."

Nintendo just opened registration for Nintendo Accounts today for anybody in Japan.

Well, I mean, I was probably going to spend that money anyway, so getting a VC game out of it might be a nice bonus? :shrug: But lol if you intentionally spend more money than you planned to just to get some "free" kitsch.

Well right off the bat it looks like Nintendo Account offers the old 10% cashback on digital purchases, so you'd also get 60 dollars along with the vc game and posters.

I wonder if they'll start putting including codes with physical games again or if it'll be just for digital sales now.

It sounds like the old Nintendo Digital Deluxe Promotion program for early adopters with the 32GB SKU they had and that was digital only for the benefits.

Or if they hadn't switched to a chibi art style which serious core gamers are apparently allergic to.

It doesn't look "chibi", it looks like a low-budget french-canadian CGI cartoon, that's the issue. I don't think this is a Wind Waker scenario where people are hating on it just for looking "kiddy" or whatever, it's seriously uninteresting to look at.

I can't imagine why a spin off of a franchise without a good game in a decade is getting hate. Maybe it's the art style?

Nah that's too simple. You gotta also register your products by an arbitrary date, and then complete a survey by a second, but different, arbitrary date for each one. Then redeem your points by another arbitrary date. gently caress you if you miss any of those steps.

It's because fans are dumb. I understand the disappointment, but I can't sympathize with the people who lost their minds, especially since they probably also went apeshit over Tropical Freeze's announcement.

I am thinking of buying xenogears after Christmas and I need a HDD since my Wii U is full of splatoon and Mario Kart. where do I find a decent HHD that works with the system.

EDIT: the link on the OP is dead for the HDD.

I just want to mention that Xenoblade Chronicles X is the best game that Nintendo has released in well over a year and it uses zero amiibos and the second screen is just a menu and the menus could have been regulated to normal RPG menus. The game needed no hardware gimmicks to excel beyond all expectations.

Hey hi I know all you guys said buy a western digital hard drive but hard drives seemed more expensive than USB sticks and I found this 64 gig seagate USB for $9.99 which seemed like a really good deal. At first it played Xenoblade Chronicles X fine but now it can't seem to find the data packs anymore when I'm loading the game. Is there some official first party Nintendo hard drive or USB stick that I can use instead?
