#TRANSFER USING WII U SERIAL NUMBER SERIAL NUMBER#
That meant that anything that you purchased was locked to a specific console, and, if your Wii U or Nintendo 3DS was damaged or lost, you would have to provide the serial number of both the old and new console to convince Nintendo to manually transfer the purchases over. It all sounded great, but a problem was soon discovered in the fact that a Nintendo Account could only be used on one console.
When the Nintendo Account system was introduced, purchases made on the Nintendo eShop were then directly linked to such user accounts. With Nintendo Switch now in the wild, a video that scrolls us through the user interface has provided the chance to learn more about lessons that Nintendo has learnt from their past systems.
