Wii U owners who had been hoping they’d be able to log into their Nintendo Network accounts on a different console will be disappointed. The ID can only be used on the original console where it was created.

As has been mentioned in the past, Nintendo has said that you’ll be able to access the account on other devices. This includes PCs and smartphones.


So this is an incredibly peculiar situation. One Wii U owner has seemingly obtained access to some sort of Wii U debug menu, and it contains rather interesting content.

From NeoGAF’s “Trike”:

Well, I was messing around in Miiverse trying to find out how the hell to do the initial set-up of my friends list to no avail. In doing so I accidentally found the “debug” menu on Miiverse. At first I thought, “Hey, neat!” thinking it was just a legit secret or something. I can even access something with the name “prototype” that seems to be the actual prototype Miiverse in Japanese. Apparently John Lennon is still alive and is posting on the Japanese Miiverse. Most buttons that I tried don’t work (Acid_Test?) so I thought, hay, maybe GAF could have fun with this or translate it. That is when I found the admin list.

At first it asked me to sign in, because my login information didn’t match. Then I pressed a button and it sent me to a list of admins anyway. They had buttons in the same row as the names, and I could “regenerate password” or “Delete Admin” or something along those lines. I didn’t do it it because I didn’t want to risk getting my god damn Wii U banned on day 1.

As shown in the gallery above, Trike even managed to come across a list that mentions “Yoshi’s Land Wii U”. Obviously that doesn’t confirm such a game – this is apparently just a debut menu – but man, again, this is all quite interesting…

There are two more spoiler-like videos below…


To register a Nintendo Network ID for your child on the Wii U, you’ll need to fork over a one-time fee of $0.50. Parents need to carry out this process for children under the age of 13. This goes in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

To complete registration, you’ll need to input credit card information. Nintendo assures consumers that information isn’t stored on the Wii U or any server. As a result, you’ll have to re-enter credit card information for eShop usage.
