PAL regions getting the Nintendo Account system in March

The Nintendo Account system saw its initial debut in Japan this week. As for the rest of the world, it looks like we’ll need to wait until next year.

Nintendo is saying that Nintendo Accounts won’t be ready for Europe, Australia, and New Zealand until March. That likely applies to North America as well. As for the Japanese rollout, Nintendo said in a statement:

“This preliminary launch represents a limited selection of the full functionality that Nintendo will eventually offer. This preliminary Nintendo Account launch is focused on bringing off-device purchase functionality to the Japanese market.”
