Wow, that was.....really quick and easy! I'm hoping this is a sign of great things to come with NX.

 

[Bog]

No unique names... awesome.

 

[Gaogaogao]

oh thank god nintendo


worked perfectly for me

 

[Weebos]

The site looks nice at least. Nothing on it for now though.

 

[Regiruler]

No purchase history? dude, this is starting to stink so bad... I really hate that about Nintendo.

They said that the launch would be incredibly bare-bones, it's essentially miitomo and my nintendo only for now, with the rest of the shit coming later.

My nintendo might do something with purchase history as club nintendo did before it.

 

[G_Berry]

Access denied lol wtf?

 

[i-Jest]

Done and done.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

People are so thirsty that even an account registration can be exciting.

Nintendo, please come out from the dark and talk about NX, or anything... ;_;

 

[//ARCANUM]

NICE!! Thanks OP! I was able to score ARCANUM for my name!

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

How long does it take for the verification code to get to email? I've been refreshing my email like hell.

Instantly for me (gmail).

Same here on Hotmail. Check your junk folders if anything.

Managed to make an account. It was super duper easy, as is linking some accounts to it (like my NNID and stuff).

Does anyone know the significance of linking your Twitter? All it does is look at who you follow and what you tweet - no other permissions.

Probably for tweets when Miitomo comes out.

 

[Maintenance]

Done, got my name there too, NNID linked.

 

[dity]

Access Denied... huh? Any other Australians able to register?

Yup, I got in. Even recognises that I'm in Australia and everything.

Probably for tweets when Miitomo comes out.

Then it'd have permissions to make tweets, but it doesn't? :O

 

[evanmisha]

The website is being super janky for me. Tried to sign in with my NNID and it said my e-mail was already registered. Tried to sign up without an NNID and it said it was sending me a verification code that never came. Tried to resend it and still nothing. No spam, nada.

 

[Fat4all]

I smell collusion.

 

[khaaan]

Is a merge of sorts.

So as they continue to roll out things you signin with Facebook or NNID or whatever and is all tied to the same account.

This just unifies everything. Especially with mobile games were most will signin with Facebook or Google accounts.

Ah, thanks. So would it be preferable to just sign in with my NNID? I don't see what the use of making yet another account would be.

 

[jmizzal]

Just registered how long does it take to get the Verification code?

 

[Jobbs]

I was all excited because I thought I got "Peter" then we figured out the names are not unique. Watch friend codes be back. Fuckin' Nintendo.

 

[Aaronrules380]

If the purchase history doesn't carry over then what on earth is the point of new accounts in lieu of just sticking with NNID?



Try putting Nintendo Japan into google and going through there.

It'll likely be used directly for future systems, but I can imagine it might be difficult to change the way it works on current systems

Oh poop, they're not unique? Lame.

 

[Shang]

Nintendo Account is here, it's pretty smooth, Miitomo's coming next month....

I feel like 2016 is going to be a really good year for Nintendo.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

That was so easy I'm a little suspicious.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Nickname is 10 characters or less? Good luck finding something relevant after a certain years in.

 

[Sydle]

Nice! Registered.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Had to make an account without my NNID linked.

And down the line, this may cause complications for the NX for me. I haven't bought many digital games from Nintendo, but still. I had two NNIDs because my main one - my Wii U one from here on out - is tied to an email I don't have access to anymore. Which led to the creation of a second NNID for my 3DS.

Now, ideally, I'd like to combine the two of them, but I know I'm going to be SOL with one of them at least. Both of them have one big title tied to them each. Anything else is all demos, so not too bothered on them. My Wii U NNID has Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD tied to it thanks to Mario Kart 8, whilst my 3DS NNID has the copy I purchased of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Like I said, I'm going to be shit out of luck as I attempt to try and determine which NNID I link to my Nintendo Account, assuming I can get Nintendo CS to help me get me access again to my Wii U NNID.

On the flipside, being able to actually set up a Nintendo Account was fairly simple. Huh. On the negative: ten characters for nickname means I can't use my actual nickname that I have for every other system (JohnnyCullen or a variant thereof).

Should probably call nintendo and get that fixed, if you can still login using that email and still remember thr pw, than you should be good

You should call Nintendo. Some have managed to have account merged precisely because of that. So explain the situation and see if something can be worked out.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

No unique names... awesome.

do you mean to say that multiple people can have the same name..?

if so, darn. i thought i was cool for getting a three character name.

 

[Jobbs]

Nickname is 10 characters or less? Good luck finding something relevant after a certain years in.

You can get anything you want at any point. Nicknames are not unique. Go make ten accounts named Mario.

 

[Linkyn]

Well, that was surprisingly quick and painless.

 

[Azure J]

Really effortless setup here. Nice.

 

[Kadin]

Just setup 4 accounts for 4 NNID's I have. I have no clue why I have that many but at least they all transferred over. I know that I have one main one where all my purchases have been tied to but the others were used for some reason... but I have no clue as it's been a while since I made them.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Nicknames aren't unique, so it doesn't matter.

The nicknames aren't unique. It's like how Miiverse will display a nickname that can be completely different to the accounts NNID. The NNID (or account username in this case) is really the only important information

 

[foxuzamaki]

I dont think you know how this works

 

[Like the hat?]

Oh poop, they're not unique? Lame.

I'd assume you'd be able to find people with their email address or through fb or something.

 

[-Horizon-]

I smell collusion.

>.>
<.<

I'm not the alt account, they're the alt account!

*runs away*

 

[watershed]

So when I go to the miitomo website it says "file not found." Anyone else try to pre-register and get this?

 

[Jobbs]

I dont think you know how this works

the accounts can't be identified on the network by their nickname because the nickname is not unique. It'd have to be by email address or a friend code or something.

 

[Akibared]

Nice was able to lock in Akibared!

 

[Scum]

I smell collusion.

lool

 

[chaobreaker]

Do profiles have unique URLs for other people to view?

 

[Deleted member 465307]

Nickname is 10 characters or less? Good luck finding something relevant after a certain years in.

It seems pretty certain that they aren't unique and that you can make it whatever you want, regardless of if someone else is already using that nickname. Mine was taken by Nintendo directly from my Mii, and I imagine there must be lots of people with my same first name.

 

[OmegaFax]

Linked with my NNID. Super easy. I kept promo e-mails enabled in the off-chance one of those 30% off coupons makes it to NA.

 

[Jarmel]

I was all excited because I thought I got "Peter" then we figured out the names are not unique. Watch friend codes be back. Fuckin' Nintendo.

No way. No wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[-hadouken]

Yup, I got in. Even recognises that I'm in Australia and everything.

The purchase function of digital games from Nintendo eShop using a PC or smartphone will not be available at launch in Australia and New Zealand.

Humph!

 

[Moskitokrebs]

Nice, thanks op.

 

[Aaronrules380]

the accounts can't be identified on the network by their nickname because the nickname is not unique. It'd have to be by email address or a friend code or something.

The nickname isn't for identifying accounts. Non unique nicknames already exist on NNID (Hell, most of us probably had ours filled in automatically with that nickname when we made the account)

 

[Faenix1]

Find it funny I can use "Faenix" on Sony and Microsoft platforms but not on Nintendo.

 

[Ricerocket]

Probably should update OP so people know nicknames aren't unique and can be changed after making account.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Could not have been easier. Thanks for the heads up.
