Can’t link a Club Nintendo account to Wii U’s Wii Shop Channel, no coins for purchases
Posted on January 15, 2013 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U
The Wii U has been out for a couple of months now, but there’s one peculiar aspect about the system that hasn’t been discussed.
Were you hoping to link your Club Nintendo account to the Wii Shop Channel? Well… it’s not possible. As a result, consumers won’t receive any coins for titles purchased on the store.
Nintendo says that the limitation is in place due to “certain system constraints”.
You’ll obviously still get coins for games bought on the original Wii Shop Channel – you know, on an actual Wii. It’s also possible to link a Club Nintendo account to the Wii U eShop. But if you were hoping to download a few extra titles and earn some coins, you’re out of luck.
Thanks to R for the tip.
