Many have wondered about what would happen to their Wii U if it were to break. Would your Nintendo Network ID still be intact? Would previously downloaded eShop games be made available to you?

This situation has, unfortunately, already happened to one unlucky gamer, but we at least have answers to some of these uncertainties.

In some cases, it sounds like Nintendo will provide consumers with brand new units if they’re irreparable. These consoles come with the day-one update pre-installed.

Regarding Nintendo Network IDs, users will be asked for their old account name, password, and email address during the initial setup. The system then warns that the ID will be inaccessible on other consoles.

And just like that, your old Nintendo Network ID will appear on the new console. Old notices will also appear on the system, and you should be able to download previously-purchased games once again.

The only strange thing is that some users have been experiencing issues getting onto the eShop with the new consoles sent to them. Hopefully that’s something Nintendo will address soon…

Nintendo TVii will be ready for the Japanese launch of Wii U next month.

Starting on December 8, the app will be available to all consumers in the country. Nintendo has teamed up with Syndicated G Guide for the service.

We’re waiting on concrete details as to how Nintendo TVii will work in Japan, but it sounds like it’ll be much different than the North American version. It seems as though the app mainly functions as a source of information. You can view downloaded details about TV programs to your Wii U and view that on the GamePad. Actual television watching is done on the television.
