Looks like Nintendo is finally getting on the bandwagon of tying purchases to account rather than hardware.

I'm sure you've all already done it, but if you haven't:

1. Login to your account on accounts.nintendo.com
2. Edit your settings, and enter your desired gamertag into the User ID field.
3. Save!

I'm now James5mith on Nintendo as well as Xbox.

Looking forward to the Switch, if just because it's something to finally be excited about. The Wii U wasn't a desired purchase for me, it was simply a purchase brought on by my Wii's component video output dying.
