Topic: Does the Nintendo Network account systems being terrible annoy anyone else.

So my 3DS broke last week and it seems to be stuck on Sleep Mode, I was going to just leave it broken and grab the new 3DS next year but I remembered that the only way to transfer is from 3DS to 3DS and i'm all digital. So now I have to get my old unit fixed uf I want to get my games on a newer system.

Now I have to ask why is this even a thing and why doesn't Nintendo doesn't understand the internet. I recently bought a second phone to be a cheap workout device and once I went to set it up all i did was put in my Google account and it came down and downloaded every thing from my main phone.

Nintendo can probably transfer your files from the broken system to a new console. Doesn't hurt to contact them and ask if they can help.

I don't find the Nintendo Network accounts terrible at all.

Have you tried contacting Nintendo? I think they can do it for you

Call, Nintendo. They will do the transfer for you.

I have had no trouble yet but there again I don't do anything with even the slightest chance of messing anything up. (Like renaming or changing a Mii even).

If I somehow lose all my content I wouldn't be best pleased. (I still think the user should be able to deactivate a device that isn't working. Everybody else allows it).

Not yet I plan to just send it in, since the new 3DS won't be out till next year, but I just find it a bit obtuse that I even have to call Nintendo for this.

By principle it is bad, but it only adds a couple of steps to the process.

Yes the system adds more steps then is really needed, hopefully next gen Nintendo can finally just get it right.

I don't find it annoying at all. I mean, it's not Steam but it works fine.
