Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima has confirmed today during the investors presentation that Nintendo new membership service will be title “Nintendo Account” and will connect across many devices.
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.
Sounds redundant, but I’ll take it.
Boring name but as long as it’s efficient I don’t care
Lol. “Nintendo Account” but as long as its better then Club Nintendo, with out errors and shit. i’m good. with this Name.
I think it’s not a replacement for Club Nintendo… It’s a replacement for the NNID
It’s possible they could rebrand it, but if they aren’t really gonna advertise it and it’s purely utilitarian then it doesn’t matter.
Aside the dry name, sounds pretty good.
Sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Can’t wait!!
People complaining about the name, ignoring the fact that this thing is cross-Platform and its using cloud-base data.
Kimishima is putting Nintendo where it should be.
I think you’re ignoring the fact that Iwata talked about this before he passed, a multi-plat system to replace CN.
Thank you! Someone gets it. This is huge people!!!!!
Nintendo is advancing and will make games more accessible and more convenient to play. This is wonderful news!
looks like theres more details to it.
What about between Wii U consoles, damn it!? I got a lot of shit stuck on my HDMI port broken Wii U & I can’t fucking transfer it to my recently bought refurbished Wii U because the god damn Wii U to Wii U data transfer needs two functional Gamepads, which I do not fucking have! ARGH!!! Of course, this all hinges on exactly WHEN this Nintendo Account will actually go fucking live! It better be soon & it better allow me to get my shit off my broken Wii U & onto my “new” one without some bullshit gimmick holding me fucking back!
Holy shit. 😀
