Later this month, a feature will be added so that users can create and edit Mii characters in a web browser for their Nintendo Account.

The back and forth between Nintendo and the NCC over eShop pre-orders continues

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

The Norwegian Consumer Council has taken issue with Nintendo – as well as a few other gaming companies – with its approach to digital purchases. When pre-ordering any game from the eShop, it’s impossible to cancel. You’re locked in to that purchase, which the Norwegian Consumer Council isn’t happy with.

The two sides have been going back and forth, with Nintendo stating that it isn’t breaking any European laws. PressFire now has the latest on the situation. Nintendo is doubling down and says that they aren’t in agreement with the NCC and says the sales contract is fulfilled since you’re able to pre-load the game immediately after pre-ordering.

Here’s a translated breakdown of the report, courtesy of Fawesum:
