Nintendo Account registration is live

Nice!

Well, at least the registration process felt like something designed by humans living in this decade.

disgustingly painless. i linked to my tweeter because i don't have my nnid on hand, but looks like i can link it momentarily.

hmmm, i'm sure i'll want to google account it when the apps start going live...

Really? Given the extremely limited list of countries in that selection...

Asia ex Japan still doesn't exist to Nintendo after all these years.
 
The nickname is not really like a gamertag. You can change it to whatever you want, as many times as you want, and others can use the same name. Everyone can be Mario and Luigi if they want.
 
I was already signed into Miiverse so it took 30 seconds.

Now give me the ability to earn points on Eshop purchases Nintendo. I have stuff to get.
 
The nickname looks like it's editable afterwards too. Does that mean this'll be like steam names where you login with email and stuff and then your nickname can change whenever?
 
I still don't get why this seems like it will exist alongside NNID. 10 character limit seems like bullshit if it's meant to be used for any online gaming.

That's what it seems like, since my nickname is currently just my Mii name (taken from my NNID) and I'm sure there are thousands of Miis that have my generic first name...
 
So general consensus is that names are not unique? Hilarious considering how many people are excited to claim theirs haha.
 
Cool. Got my account registered. I like how easy it was to transfer all my info from my Nintendo Network ID. Didn't even have to enter any new information.

Now to just wait and see what they use this for.
