Serebii Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Emily Rogers tweeted earlier stating "Not related to Direct -- Wii U/3DS getting shared eShop balances soon. Add $$ to Wii U, shows up on 3DS. Add $$ to 3DS, shows up on Wii U." Responding to this was a developer from WayForward who stated it was true. One step closer
Rummy Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Tbh no big matter for me, as I only ever 'add' exact funds for what I'm buying. Steps in the right direction though, let's hope they don't stop halfway.
Ike Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Sounds like a step towards a unified account system, although knowing Nintendo (linked to Club Nintendo or something rather than NNID)... I want to believe but Emily Rogers is very hit and miss on these kind of things. It's something that I wanted and would use though so hoping it's true. Might be talked about in Today's Direct/part of the Summer update?
Dcubed Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Good news, though it doesnt affect me since I always pay exact amouts anyway. Hopefully this'll also mean that we start earning 10% cashback on 3DS purchases!
f00had Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I hope this is true since I have a lot of eShop credit on my 3DS but there isn't anything I want to buy.
S.C.G Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Now THIS is the kind of thing I like to hear! Unified account system? Yes please Nintendo, if you're merging the balances then you are halfway there! Next they'll be announcing GBA games for Wii U and it'll be something like... 'For those of you who are 3DS ambassadors and who already have Game Boy Advance games on your 3DS, you will now be able to link your account so you can download and play your GBA games on your Wii U also.' 'But this will not happen until June 2016 when it will be the fifteenth anniversary of the Game Boy Advance.' 'Please Understand!' In a nutshell. :p
nekunando Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Hmm.. I have over £13 on my 3DS account and would love to shft £6.99 from that amount over to the Wii U to download Earthbound..
Aneres11 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 This would be pretty sweet. They also really need to change their eShop voucher cards to include the Wii U logo. I had an argument in GAME a few weeks back with the guy behind the counter as he said they wouldn't work on Wii U. I professed they did and said I had used several on my Wii U before. He laughed and said it was my risk to take. I then got angry. And left.
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Hmm.. I have over £13 on my 3DS account and would love to shft £6.99 from that amount over to the Wii U to download Earthbound.. How about Nano Assault, brah? This would be a great move and a big step in the right direction. Fingers crossed.
Ike Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Oh, this makes sense with the incoming web version eShop which we're supposed to be getting this year as well.
Rummy Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Oh, this makes sense with the incoming web version eShop which we're supposed to be getting this year as well. This is something I'd absolutely love. Being able to buy on a website whilst at work/away and it pushing straight to my wii u to be downloaded ready for me to play when I get in! Would be added awesome with a gift system too - imagine just one day you turn on your wii u and bam! Earthbound. Ready to rock right away.
Tamazoid Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 If only the Wii virtual console would be included, there's still some games I want to pick up on it. It's ridiculous that I have to add money to two different wallets on the same console if I want to buy a game off the Wii virtual console then buy one off the WiiU virtual console.
