Is that *really* a good thing tho?
Damn right it is. One step closer to this consumer actually considering buying Nintendo products again.

Currently it sounds like an addition to me as in link to NNID like you did Club Nintendo.Is this replacing NNID or is this in addition to it?
Or separate?
There is a lot of clarity needed on all this which we likely wont get till 2016
Fantastic thingIs that *really* a good thing tho?
Are we sure it isn't? This is, after all, the company whose idea of crossbuy is giving you a download code usable on any system, rather than automating it through the shared NNID.This isn't a technical limitation.
Are DenA expected to handle these accounts on a global level, or just Japan? Should we expect a similar announcement for users in the US/Europe/Rest of Asia....etc?

That is not my point. My point is that there is no mention of the QOL platform for the membership service specifically, while every single other platform is mentioned.
It is interesting to note that.
I hope cross buy becomes ubiquitous
They're not going to talk about QOL in a conference related to services for their gaming platforms.

Does that mean if i break my 3DS i can re-download my digital games for free?
The last time Nintendo contracted out for online services they chose Gamespy
Well as someone who had this exact situation happen 2 months ago, for me I was already able to do this (albeit with a lot of hassle). My 3ds broke so i ended up buying a 3ds XL (I wanted an excuse to buy one anyways) and called up Nintendo to do a system transfer.
After 30-40 minutes of pain and torture with them, i finally get to the part of transferring content. They were able to transfer my NNID, but said that they couldn't transfer the games/saves. The reason was because i couldn't recall all the games that i purchased digitally for the device (which i felt was a bs way to verify since i have like 40 games digitally on it, hadn't played in over a year and my memory sucks so i couldn't recall every game i had bought on the spot).
So I went to the eshop to buy shovel knight again, and lo and behold it said i already purchased it on this account and i could redownload for free. Granted I lost my saves, and it was still a huge pain in the ass but it seems like you can at least redownload your games if you transfer the NNID to your replacement 3ds. Also I learned that I think even Nintendo customer service has no clue how any of this crap works.
Nintendo and PC on the same sentence

Nintendo is now DeNa's second largest shareholder, so it's not exactly outsourcingThe last time Nintendo contracted out for online services they chose Gamespy
Yep - this is all I picked up from the article. I'm hoping it actually happens, but I will still leave it to Nintendo to fumble it on the goal line.this is the real bidness

One mistake doesn't make a trend. Let's just hope, they learned from this (at least Nintendo bought some stocks of the company).The last time Nintendo contracted out for online services they chose Gamespy

*Rolls eyes*
It was almost 9 years ago
They only ask for the last 3 games you purchased, at least in the UK that is, The phone call was over in 20 minutes for me when I did mine.
This is interesting but it's too early to really say anything interesting yet. I'll wait and see how this pans out
...actually that's kinda how I feel about all this morning's news.
Which, in the history of a company over a century old, is very recent history.
We're still waiting for details, right? Like if this will absorb the Nintendo Network or supersede it or what
Thank goodness, now some Nintendo fans can stop lying to themselves and others about Nintendo having an account system.
I wonder if Nintendo will charge for online too?

I guess, yeah. The fun part is guessing when more news will come. Nintendo Direct? E3?Well, it was basically news of news. We still don't know almost anything yet -_-
