Well she likely can't say the actual date which she would if she said everything that is happening with it.

So she's saying the date, but has to let us figure out what is going to happen, which the Direct does tell us that the updates are this month, we just didn't know what day.

Get what I'm saying?

I just got a Wii U today with 3D World (love it) and Wind Waker. My first Miiverse post was a (super awesome) drawing of Cat Luigi expelling a fart cloud, captioned as "Meoweegee poots!" or some shit like that. It was deleted in minutes...poot jokes, something straight out of adventure time, aren't allowed on Nintendo consoles. There goes my fun

I doubt it'll be a unified account (maybe next gen Nintendo). Most likely just the December 3DS update they mentioned in the last Direct with Miiverse and all that stuff.

If unified accounts and cross buy were a thing in nintendo platforms, 3ds owners will have even more reasons to buy a Wii U , how can Nintendo be so blind ...

Ummm... Stupid question, but, who is Emily Rogers?
Click to expand...
A woman who has done some wonderful connecting as far as Nintendo of America and indies are concerned.

She also gets firmware update info for some reason. She can't say much, though, and thus has to say vague hints like this one. Though in this case it's obvious.

It would be sweet if my 3DS could connect to the internet.

Just...stopped recently.

Streetpass works...internet does not.

Did you check your connection? Try to go to a McDonalds or Starbucks, wherever there's free WiFi and just try a connection, should work hopefully. :)

I don't care what they do with the service until they let me redownload all my purchases on any other console by simply signing in with my NNID on that other console, and of course let me transfer my saves and other game data as well.

I'm not looking forward to this because Nintendo will start blocking the country change option and I will not be able to get into the eShop anymore.

while it may not come with all the bells and whistles you would expect from a unified account, it is by definition what they're doing. 3DS and Wii U will use the same NNID after the update. unifying them, if you will

now what people really want when they clamor for unified accounts is digital downloads tied to that account, rather than the console, and some sort of cross buy

What the hell are people talking about in the first page? It's obviously the system update that was announced!

in my personal opinion I think digital downloads being tied to accounts will definitely come this gen. whether that's 2014 or 2015 or whenever I don't know, but they seem to be slowly but surely moving there. if cross buy ever happens I doubt it will be free. I think they'll do it kind of like how they did Wii VC upgrades to Wii U. there will be a fee around $1-3 depending on which platform it's from. either that or they'll just add another buck or two on the price of digital only content and allow cross buy for "free"

purely speculation

other than your silly paranoia.

Just get it. I just beat the DLC case. Sooooo good.

On topic: Half Life 3DS.

It's not exactly silly paranoia. If you lose the system you have to jump through too many hoops to get your content back.

if it were a unified account system... what are you expecting? If you own multiple 3DS systems or a 3DS and a WiiU? Because in that case... wouldn't WiiU owners need to be excited as well?

Probably just Miiverse and NNID, not exactly something to be excited about.

Now, if they release Flipnote on the same day, then I'll be excited.
Not gonna happen.

Wait is there another reason for using NNIDs other than the balance and Miiverse? Like automatically adding current NNID friends on 3DS?

Basically, in case I lose my 3DS or something that it would insure that my downloaded games could be transferred to a new handheld. I mean I'm still downloading games now with no account in place but it would help remove that possibility of losing everything.
