Nintendo has the ability to remotely delete eShop content
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
Did you know Nintendo can remotely delete content you’ve purchased on the eShop? It’s true: any item Nintendo deems illegal could be removed from your account and SD card.
One 3DS user discovered this after violating the terms of Club Nintendo’s Fire Emblem: Awakening/Shin Megami Tensei IV promotion. The person ended up registering two copies of both games to her Club Nintendo accounts and obtained two separate $30 eShop credits, but redeemed both codes on a single 3DS.
Just a few weeks later, the 3DS owner was presented with a notice that her Club Nintendo accounts had been deactivated after attempting to log in to the site. The remaining balance from the site’s promotion had also been removed from her eShop account, and SteamWorld Dig – the only game downloaded with the credit – had disappeared.
The issue here is that the promotion stated only one code could be used per account. Users are also forbidden from maintaining two separate Club Nintendo accounts, not to mention registering games they haven’t purchased.
Thankfully for this person, Nintendo of America agreed to reactivate her Club Nintendo accounts. However, the eShop credit as well as SteamWorld Dig were not restored.

Reggie talks using mobile devices for marketing, Nintendo TVii will see continued updates, more
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Nintendo doesn’t plan on putting any of its franchises on smartphones. However, that doesn’t mean the company is opposed to the use of such devices entirely.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, speaking with CNET, spoke about how Nintendo is consistently considering the mobile space from a marketing perspective. He also pointed out the importance of exclusive IPs like Mario and Zelda so that consumers understand they can only experience these series by picking up Nintendo hardware.
“We’re constantly thinking about how to leverage mobile as a marketing vehicle. How do I give little tastes of content, little experiences that then drive the consumer back to my hardware environment?”
“That’s why we’re so focused on having content exclusive to our platform. When the consumer wants to play Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon, they have to purchase our hardware to do so. And that preserves our overall financial model.”
