It's tied to both, actually. I made a seperate account just to be sure, and the games I downloaded don't show up in the Account Activity. It's just that any account made on a system with those purchases can redownload those games, but they're still credited to the original user's account.
Hey everyone telling me about this supposed update that will unlock our NNIDs: Can you give me a source? Cause I follow various game news sites, and haven't heard or seen one report that indicated this.

Reason why i started this was to send a message to Nintendo that they can't afford to get away with.stuff like this anymore. Sure it may not matter to some of you, but it's still in inconvenient, annoying, and unnecessary restriction that no other company has, nowadays. Just because the system just launched is no excuse for them to not uphold to today's standards.

This can't be true. Since there's an 8gb WiiU, and there will be full retail games that far exceed that size, there wouldn't be a way to copy that whole file to the system. Pretty sure this is a mistranslation.
