Be mindful of where you create an ID.

When Nintendo outlined its Wii U account system earlier this month, we learned you can create up to 12 unique IDs per system.

With the launch of the console today, though, multiple users report that once a Nintendo Network ID is activated, it is tied to that specific system, and can't be used on another. Attempting to do so brings up a warning that the respective ID "has already been linked to another Wii U console." 

We've been gone for a while, but we're back this Tuesday with a bang!

Hope you came early!

Nintendo is taking a hands-off approach toward eShop prices.

Nintendo is allowing publishers to control the prices, and sales, of Wii U eShop content.

Fans of watching stuff on the Wii U will have to wait a few weeks for TVii, Netflix, and more.
