From the investor's meeting
http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2015/10/29/nintendo-unveils-first-smartphone-game-live-blog/

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.

UPDATE:

Go fix Tri Force Heroes server before giving us cloud :|

Oxn · Oct 29, 2015

Dont that second line confirm the NX is a hybrid where the console plays the same games as the handheld?

borghe · Oct 29, 2015

Party like its 2005!!!!!

ElFly · Oct 29, 2015

Nintendo Bush.

NerdEyeBlind · Oct 29, 2015

Good to see everyone trying to unify their multi account strategies

Dranakin · Oct 29, 2015

So, one universal log-in in now a reality? Applicable to current systems, or only implemented going forward?

hosannainexcelsis · Oct 29, 2015

Hmm, I'm interested to see how Nintendo plans to leverage the cloud to connect their mobile and console products. What they're saying sounds different than just the cloud save storage you get with something like Playstation Plus or Steam.

Not really... it's could simply be a Chao Garden GBA style link between a mobile game and a console game.

Gsnap · Oct 29, 2015

Sounds good. Step by step I guess.

Finally.

Madao · Oct 29, 2015

finally a way to back up wii u save data?

lucablight · Oct 29, 2015

I hope their next devices are region free or it's going to be a pain in the ass having to manage different accounts.

Kouriozan · Oct 29, 2015

People can't say Nintendo don't have an account system soon.

Javier · Oct 29, 2015

Damn, need more details on this.

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Oct 29, 2015

Plus service coming with that cloud saves?

The Spoony Hou · Oct 29, 2015

Heck yeah, cloud saves!

Kriken · Oct 29, 2015

Someone was paid to think of that name...

When they first talked about it, they mentioned connection between WiiU, 3DS, NX and PC/smartphone

Chopper · Oct 29, 2015

"Nintendo Account"

Astonishing.

As far as I know you can back up... only not between consoles

Anyone know if NNID will be transferring over, or will new accounts be required?

nubbe · Oct 29, 2015

finallllyyy!!!

OrbitalBeard · Oct 29, 2015

Nice. Cloud saving is a must for NX.

ffdgh · Oct 29, 2015

Once more...Progress!

ladyluthien · Oct 29, 2015

The name is simple and works. Glad to hear about being able to back-up save data!

Persona7 · Oct 29, 2015

I wonder if my NNID will roll into this or if you will have to create another new account and there is no link between them.

SalvaPot · Oct 29, 2015

I liked "NEW Nintendo Uccount" Better, oh well.

dolabla · Oct 29, 2015

So are our downloaded games actually tied to our accounts now?

Madao · Oct 29, 2015

well, i mean console-death proof backups since, as far as i know, if your console dies, your saves die with it even if they were on an external storage device.

same with digital 3DS games.

OrbitalBeard · Oct 29, 2015

dolabla said:

Yes, since 2012!

danwu · Oct 29, 2015

Very happy !!!

They have been since the Wiiu was released.

I mean like how PSN or XBL does it. Not the whole system transfer thing. You just sign in to your account and download/re-download your games.

BY2K · Oct 29, 2015

Wait, transfer saves between mobile and console games?

Trago · Oct 29, 2015

This is the real megaton. They're finally catching up to the rest. Bout time.

brickarts295 · Oct 29, 2015

That's not what you said though.

The problem with Nintendo's current setup is that you can only have one system active at a time per account and you have to contact Nintendo directly if you forget to transfer your ID before getting rid of a console.

It is assumed their new system will be more streamlined and user friendly.
