Yeah Nintendo's DRM is a total nightmare to go through as i just found out, Wii-U became faulty a few months ago, sent it to Nintendo to get fixed, it got lost by the courier, and without the console serial number or the console Nintendo stead fast refused to help, no console or serial number, it would not matter if i bought a new Wii_u, they would not unlink my NNID, so no getting back my paid for, and sizable digital library bought on the machine, plus all my original Wii digital content that i transfered from my original wii was also gone.Three months back and forth with them, email's and letters, phone support was a joke, although the are simply call center staff reading off a screen with no actual powers in this matter, even got my local trading standard involved, i had given up all hope and was about to get rid of every Nintendo product in the house never again to purchase, and i let them know that in my last email.........bang...last week a email, they had unlinked my NNID from the lost console and i was no free to link it to anew one and gain back a vast collection of pricy digital goods.But you can bet no more digital buying on any Nintendo system, not while the present customer punishing, frustrating, jump and dance for me you silly customer, fiasco that is Nintendo DRM at present.My advice to all, any console of any kind you have from Nintendo, write down and store away the serial number and any other numbers just in case from these devices, because god forbid if the unforeseen happen, you are at the mercy of Nintendo.Oh and another little fantastic bit of Nintendo news i just found out, i had bought the Wii-u fit meter, and low and behold, it is linked to the old console, cannot be unlinked in any way other than via the old console, so a nice £30 paper weight there.
