People are reading way too into this. All Kimi is saying is that a lot of people have Facebook and Twitter, so those people will have a lower barrier to entry than they would without the integration. If you have ever used Discuss or something, that's all this is.

It's the "log in through Facebook" option.

^ yes.

But it sounds like "you cannot log in through facebook" is the answear he gives.

You need to make a nintendo account and use that, is what he says (my understanding of it).

That's not the impression I got at all, and earlier, Nintendo talked about how they wanted to make it easier to create an account.  I think what they're saying is that by allowing them to log in with facebook, they'll be able to reach a broader audience, which is a solid, if obvious, idea.0
