Hoping for this as well. Sucked having separate amounts on my DSi & Wii, then my Wii Shop points didn't carry over to the Wii U eShop, and now 3DS & Wii U are separate. It's rather annoying, especially since Sony's been doing it with PSP, Vita, & PS3 for quite some time now.I hope this means I have one unified wallet between my 3DS and Wii U. I currently have £63 on one system, and £6 on the other, and it seems incredibly dumb that those two wallets are entirely separate things.

I am confused by this cross-buy concept.
Does this mean I will be able to purchase Wii U games on 3DS and play them on Wii U, or does this mean I will be able to purchase certain Wii U games on my 3DS and play them on my 3DS?

With Sony, Cross-Buy means you get both the PS3 version and Vita version for the same price as the PS3 copy. Some even allow you to transfer your save from one system to another, allowing you to start where you left off.I am confused by this cross-buy concept.

Actually I don't think so, I think they're honestly content with their current system.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
...they also show 3DS stuff on the WiiU eShop.
They've said before that they plan to make the eShop available on the Web, which would require...
Cross-buying would require....

ACCOUNTS!
At the very least this could mean that the stores for both systems are accessible on both, and that you could have one account system linked to both machines. Wouldn't necessarily mean cross-buy.
Another hint that can be added to the pile is that when you first run a Wii U, it asks you if you want to create a NNID, or use an existing one. So far nobody has been able to use the latter option, so it can only mean you will be able to create a NNID from a 3DS.
I'm hoping for unified eShops and cross-buy. Maybe Ambassadors will be able to download the 10 GBA games on a Wii U for free?
I don't think it's worth getting too excited about this. You can already view (but not purchase) a lot of 3DS eShop stuff on the Wii U one, I imagine this will be a similar thing.
Would LOVE to be wrong though!
i really cant see how a unified system will not come of this. I was just on club nintendo yesterday and was looking through my product history and it showed the day and date i purchased anything digitally form nintendo, even dlc (free or not). They already have purchase information tied to your club nintendo account, they just need to unify everything and allow you to redownload on other systems.
Would it be hard to set up a system that allows you to sign in to another 3ds and activate that as your primary and allow switching back and forth? Same with wii u... not sure why this is not already in place.
Well, yeah, that's the most logical answer, but has anyone been able to use that option in that particular way? Nintendo has said numerous times that NNIDs are locked to a single Wii U, and I haven't heard of a case of someone getting a NNID unlinked from one Wii U and linked to a new one. (Seriously, has this happened?)Well...except what if the "use an existing ID" option relates more to purchasing a new Wii U (as a result of malfunction or theft) after you've already created an ID? That alternative wouldn't necessitate a 3DS NNID.
Because it's Nintendo, they discovered internet recently.
<Excellent explanation of cross buy system on Sony platforms.>
Accounts, now if Nintendo would just do make a unified account system, (seems likely) and give me Wii U<->3DS VC "upgrade" charge per game, I'd be pretty happy. Now Ninty just needs to buy Sega from Sammy (My bet E3 2014 or fall 2014)
