Not good enough.

It's not news that Nintendo themselves can do it. Of course they can. The issue is that they have a complete disregard for their customer's right to the product they've bought.

Like if you wanted to sell your Wii, the terms and conditions actually saiythat you HAVE TO delete your Wii Shop account and lose all your purchases. Yes, you can buy a Wii U and transfer, blabalbla. That is not an argument. The point is that Nintendo belives all the stuff you bought still belongs to them and not to the person who bought it.

They are NOT a consumer-friendly company, just because they transfer your stuff if you have a broken console.

That the "cloud" wasn't ready is not a believable argument, you dont need a cloud to register user accounts. They are consumer-unfriendly, and they are useless at online. They obviously only made the Wii U transfer tool because they knew it would be an outrage if they didnt, but they didnt even manage to merge the Wii Shop into the Wii U Shop, its a joke of a service.

Maybe it will improve in the future. Maybe. They have had 6 years to build an online service that works, they should have been ready. They weren't.

I've had 3 PS3 this gen and none of them had any issue while they were covered by the warranty so this isn't good enough....( number 2 still works but the Blu Ray reader has issues with double layer blu ray and it was Chrismas so I gifted myself a 420Gb Infamous 2 PS3 ).

Besides what if you want to have 2 WiiU in the house and be able to access the games you purchased on both ?

I was not trying to be a trol when i made my first comment. I was giving Nintendo the benefit of the doubt because they have never been known up to yet of being a networking type company. Will they change this policy? Maybe. 

Other people have just typed one word answers which are negative in response to this article and they are not quoted for trolling. I was just suggesting a reason as to why Nintendo may have made this decision.

Well anectodal evidence is just that, I mean I had 3 ps1's break on me and 2 ps2's . (Still have my launch gamecube and launch wii) and am currently on my 3rd Xbox 360. Though my launch Wii U was DOA (it did not play discs) nintendo has been much more reliable when it comes to hardware to me over the years. 

Alright, fair enough. It just came off as a little provocative, which is probably what led the other guy to damage control. Besides, even if you had been trolling, I think it was tame enough for it to be allowed to pass. At least you're elaborating on why you think Nintendo isn't doing this right.

Excellent post, agreed with everthing. I kinda regret buying a lot of stuff for the Wii, not living in the US I don't know what will I do if it breaks, I invested a lot in it, specially the Virtual Console.

Another mistake that will ultimately turn people off to the system!

They better have a big press release when it becomes available so people know when it can be done!

There is no doubt that Nintendo has done a poor job comminicating all things Wii U.  The cloud service is one of them.

The 'cloud issue' is a believable argument if, IF, and I'm admitting if here, if the cloud service is the backbone for the unlocked user account system.  If Nintendo (see, if again) had planned to have unlocked accounts (which, by the way is a cloud in itself since cloud just means software as a service) and the backbone of that system was not ready yet (thanks to Mozy, Inc) then it makes a lot of sense why in the interim that it's locked to the system it's registered from.

Also, the Wii shop is a part of the Wii software suite so it's not part of the Wii U internal software.  The Wii U has to be rebooted into Wii mode to even access the Wiii software suite.  However, they are already redesigning the Wii U eShop to include the older Wii shop.

Did Sony and MS have evertyhing ready day 1?  Of course not.  So why are you expecting anyone else to have everythign ready day 1?

And if you don't mind, change you tone a little.  Hostility gains you nothing but retailiation.  And instead of lively debate, we get heated exchanges that get us nowhere.   Thanks.

All my playsation consoles failed several times.

Ps3 only once, so they have improved since the old days. PS3 i pretty much got lemon to begin with, so technically it was manufacturing fault from the start.
