To answer the OP's question, games are tied to a system. You CANNOT log into an account on another system to play the games you've purchased. In response to this reply, I also agree that if a physical copy is available, you should buy that instead, however, I've had no problems at all transferring my DSi purchases(downloads) to my 3DS and then again from that 3DS to my 3DS XL. I also had no problems at all with my Wii downloads to my Wii U. The biggest problem I see is if your system was ever stolen...I don't think that there's a fix for that. If your system breaks, Nintendo is very helpful with repair/replacement and transferring your purchases to the new system. I have heard that Nintendo is working on an account system that would be more like PSN & Live in that regard, just not sure if/when that might happen. As for me, I always buy physical unless it's not available that way as if you ever wanted to sell/trade/let your friend barrow it, you can. |
Actually they are currently tied to the system because the account is tied to the system. This will change once they untie the account, probally after they finished rolling out the other NN function onto the 3DS. There have been rumors that once that is done, the games you bought for the 3DS will be availble to use in some way for the Wii U (of course sans the 3D).
And the "problem" with used Wii U games having "free" games because of the orginal account being tied to that system.
