There's already used WiiU's?
So is digital content tied to the console or the NNID? Or is everything tied to the NNID, which is tied to the console? I'm confus.

whoever owned the console before me purchased multiple games, meaning all the games he purchased are available to redownload for free....This is with a new account btw I setup as well. Games are clearly linked to Console itself. Advice to those buying a second hand WiiU's...check all the games on the Store...you might be in for some "free" games!
This is the same on 360 fyi. Anything bought on the marketplace is tied to both the gamertag and console independently.

It's actually tied to both. The license is per console and per gamertag. I can buy a game on my downstairs 360, and then every gamertag on that 360 can play that game online or offline. On my upstairs 360 I will need the gamertag that I bought it with logged in to play it AND the console will need to be always online for it to continue to work.
Yeah.....no. The game is tied to your profile, not the console.
Instead of going through the catalog one by one, just go to the profile-page -> bought contents.
Oh Nintendo
Games tied to the system rather than the profile?
lolwat?
This was known since the beginning.
I think he created a new NNID on the system though and still had access to all that stuff lol.This is going to be fun for the original owner if they get another wii u. Dude will probably assume he can just login with his old account info and nab the stuff he purchased, even though the content is technically still in use.
You have to buy over $500 worth of digital content before you can buy a new full release game.Whatever happened to that shit where I'm supposed to get 10% rewards on shit I buy on the eShop or some shit?

Wait, why are downloads tied to the consoles and not accounts?
What is the Nintendo account for? Is it an alphanumeric replacement for friend codes and nothing else?

Nintendo will never get the fucking online portion right. Never. They were light-years behind in 2006. They're arguably worse even today with the advent of the Wii U.
Feels like something you should roll out at once, the most functional stuff about having an account. The mobile apps and whatnot can come later, but I feel like it was rushed (which also begs the question as to how it was so rushed when they've had so much time since the Wii came out) and they're planning a relaunch later. Launching a console with accounts and implementing account-tied ownership after people can buy stuff is a slippery slope and massive oversight.Step-by-step process.
Seems like it. And this is beforeWait... does the 3DS have the same issue??
I sold my 3DS a while ago with a ton of games downloaded via that eShop shit.
I'll have to get another 3DS.
Good god. So that means you have to go through every full game and see if it was purchased before?
