My Nintendo: New Membership Service(Registrations open in most Countries)

[ObeseMudkipz]

Nintendo?s new membership service will be called ?Nintendo Account? ? it will connect hardware users, as well as PC and smart device users, Mr. Kimishima says.

Nintendo will use a cloud-based data service to transfer game data between mobile games and console games.

"Specifically with the new account, you can log in with your Facebook, Google, and Twitter accounts. You can also use normal email. Of course, you can transfer your existing Nintendo ID over to it."

What is up with their poor naming lately? Couldn't they think of anything cooler than the name Nintendo Account? Aside from that, I'm looking forward to their new rewards program.

"hold on I'm gonna log into my nintendo account"

I find it funny to think that this new account system will utilize the same name as the old accounting system before Club Nintendo in America. lol Regardless of the recycling an old name, this new program definitely looks quite promising. I just hope they don't screw it up like they did with their past membership programs (specifically how they handled the old My Nintendo [particularly how they got rid of Nsider, etc.] and Club Nintendo in America).

 

[PoizonMushro0m]

I think the new membership and account names are absolute crap. Could they have thought up something with a more original name?

 

[Dark Gamer 8525]

I know right and I may look into this.

 

[ObeseMudkipz]

registrations are open in Japan

I hope this means registrations are coming to NA and other regions soon.

 

[shunishu]

yeah, hope it comes soon too.

In the Nintendo Life article, they said registration is open in March apparently.

I'm so excited this is going to be awesome ^w^

I signed up for it yesterday! There's not a whole lot of features yet, but finally being able to buy eShop stuff from the website is awesome. The games automatically load when your 3DS is in sleep mode, too,

Apparently you can access your eShop purchase/download history online too now? That's pretty nice.

Yep, it basically gives you an iTunes-style purchase history. i don't know how far back it goes, but mine has my history all the way back to when I first bought my 3DS in March.

Points for playing games sounds nice. Especially now that I have a New 3DS that can use my main router and I don't have to set up the other one. That's pretty much all I'm interested in, though. Maybe the on-site purchases too.

Just please don't let the points expire. That was the whole reason why I never used Club Nintendo at all (which was good since I made 70? selling codes when it closed xD)

 

[TheEchoTimes]

When is it coming out in America? Anyone know?

I dont think they said anything about the American release but I think they said it would be open in spring in some places

I saw the news on tumblr and registered immediately. For some people, it seems to take a few minutes, but it was nearly instant for me. I used my NNID.
