DAMN

So I have a Wii U and my two boys each have a 3DS XL. We all have had NNIDs since the Wii U launch.

I've always had all three systems tied to my original Club Nintendo account. 

After today's 3DS update, I help them link their existing NNIDs to their 3DSs. In the warnings it stated that only ONE NNID can be connected to ONE Club Nintendo account.

However, that makes no damn sense as these are family accounts and my kids shit is all bought by me. 

I did notice Club Nintendo allows you to create sub CN accounts off of your main CN account. I created each of them a sub account and still no joy. I go to link them to that account and bam, denied with a generic non-descriptive error.

I'll have to write Nintendo an email to see what's up. Anyone else have a solution beyond creating three fully distinct CN accounts?

I have four accounts/profiles on my WiiU (mine, my sister and my niece - Brazil accounts,  and an alternative account in the USA region) and we didn´t find any trouble in tying each Nintendo Network account with each 3DS and WiiU profile. It just take a little longer to update the Eshop.

However! We didn´t tie our Nintendo Club accounts to our Nintendo Network accounts.  We prefer to not do it so we can use the download codes in any account. 

The Eshop and club Nintendo has experienced lots of unstability yesterday, maybe it was just that. But I really don´t recommend tying the Club Nintendo to the Nintendo Network account.
