Nintendo Enthusiast, sorry haha.
The source in the OP is Gamnesia, and they don't seem to be banned, which is why I felt okay posting this.

I'd be so pumped, but that Nintendo Enthusiast article doesn't inspire confidence. Still, I'm on board if it's true.
Why? Isn't this what people wanted from PS Now? Assuming this means you get a yearly subscription that lets you download VC games? I'd be fine with that if I could just pay a flat rate for X games a month or something. Like $60 a year that let's you get 2-3 games each month, and you can keep all the games. Like PS+ but you get to choose the games available
Seeing the title of this thread I thought "YEAH!"
But then seeing this:
Noooooooo

Why should I believe Nintendo Enthusiast of all sites?
The fact that the Emily Rogers tweet is being used as evidence yet it points towards nothing in particular is pretty funny.

Sounds like wishful thinking from an unreliable source.
That being said, I'd love it if it was true.

I don't want to get my hopes up for a real account system.
The OP post is fine. The source is just making people question the validity of the claim.
Oh boys, oh girls, I'm still tiffed this wasn't available from the start, but so excited that it's finally happening! Wonder if they'll do anything for people that have certain games on both systems, like 3DS Ambassadors?
And hopefully, we can finally get Turbo-Grafx, N64, GCN, DS, SNES, Genesis, Master System, & Commodore 64 VC out of this, as well as moving DS, GBA, SNES, Turbo-Grafx, Genesis, & Commodore games to the 3DS' VC as well. I'd be SO happy if they did that stuff. Like you wouldn't believe.

Yes, I didn't realize Nintendo Enthusiast is banned either.
I just put in the source in my OP multiple times to make sure they weren't banned, never imagining that their own source might be banned.

They already have that, they just lock the accounts themselves to your system.

So would that mean that you could buy and play 3DS games on a WiiU!?
I've been hoping Nintendo would make its portable games available on their home consoles. I hate playing portable systems but would really be interested in playing portable games in my living room.

If all of the Virtual Console was crossbuy.
I would be all over it. It's the main reason why I haven't dabbled into to many purchases there. It's a smart move if true. Makes both systems libraries look even better.

The account system is there. The only difference between it and say Sony is that Sony allows you to activate/deactivate systems on a web browser and Nintendo doesn't.

Microsoft hasn't even implemented this yet, right?
No? It would just mean games that are released on both platforms wouldn't require you to buy them again - example, buying Shovel Knight on Wii U would allow you to download it on 3DS for no extra charge. You won't be able to download Luigi's Mansion 2 to your Wii U or anything like that.
