NNIDs and Miiverse are finally coming to the 3DS

Wow, bummer. And that's all thanks to those fucking stupid idiots who ruined Swapnote before.

They already said Smash Bros 4 wouldn't have cross-play.

DAMN YOU NINTENDO DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!

Sure, blame a couple pedo's for Nintendo's complete overractonitis.

Well, there's also that, true. The whole thing really sucks.

To quote Gahars, every medium of communication from smoke signals to e-mails has been exploited at some point and it's no reason to panic. I know shutting down a service is ten times easier, but it's not user-friendly - a developer is supposed to improve the service when such things happen, not shut it down.

sony and ms should make a tv ad about no restrictions in social apps on their consoles... that might trigger nintendo to re think their actions...

I'm wondering if this means accounts will be linked. So as I have a 3DS and a 3DS XL will I be able to download software onto both consoles without paying twice?

No, a NNID can only have one linked 3DS

Well that sucks. Punish the people that buy multiple consoles.
Nintendo arn't really family friendly are they.

 

[Deleted User]

Well, Miiverse on 3DS is going to be useless without the ability to anything

 

[chavosaur]

guys it wont be USELESS.
we still get to interact with 11 year olds on miiverse asking why virtual console is so hard and wanting steve from minecraft in the next smash bros

To be fair, most things that could have prevented something like this were in place. Most notably friend codes, but also the whole parental controls thing. The problem is kids just got around all that protection by sharing friend codes on the internet and figuring out the parental control pin. Nintendo products are aimed at children for a large part, and parents might not buy as much 3DSes for their kids if they learn it has a feature that can potentially let their kid get in touch with child predators and other nasty things. Especially considering the media tends to make a big deal out of that kind of thing. That said, I wonder what justifies the 3DS Internet Browser for Nintendo as it can be used in the same way.
(this does not mean I agree with the decision to completely shut down Swapnote by the way)

I hope nintendo makes a remote play function with Wiiu and 3ds like sony did with vita and Ps4.

Highly unlikely. The WiiU itself already did a good job at that.

Miiverse is long overdue and good to have on 3DS, but what is the real benefit of combining the funds on the two systems aside from buying 3DS stuff via Wii U and vice versa? Cross-play isn't even happening on it as far as we can tell.

Let's say you own both systems, and put $20 on your Wii U. Let's say you buy a game that's $15, and you have $5 left to spend, but nothing looks good on the WiiU. You check the 3DS eShop and lo and behold, there's a VC game you want! If the systems share a balance, your 3DS can use that $5 that's leftover on the WiiU. Without that in place, the $5 sits on the WiiU and you have to add more funds to the 3DS. It basically makes it so all your Nintendo spending is in one balance instead of two. A huge benefit, imo.
