I just bought the Wind Waker HD premium bundle yesterday after my old Wii U was stolen and I'm in contact with Nintendo at the moment to see if the can unlink my Nintendo ID from my old console so I can use on my new one.

I want to redeem the download code for Zelda but would prefer to have it on my Nintendo ID that I can't access just now.

If I create a new account & download Zelda on it, would I be able to add my old Nintendo ID to my Wii U (if Nintendo fix this) & play it on that or will I only be able to play it on the account it's been downloaded on?

I got a Wii U last Christmas but in May, we were broken in to & it was stolen.

I finally decided today to buy a new one & bought the Wind Waker HD bundle.

When setting up, I clicked "Link an existing ID", put in all my account details and it said that it can't be used as it's linked with an existing Wii U.

I called the UK customer services and explained to them my situation but they couldn't help. They asked if I had the serial number for the old one but I don't (have moved home since it was stolen & no longer have box) so I'm not sure if they could've done something if I had the number

The advisor then told me to email customer service explaining what has happened with my Nintendo Network ID login details & my Club Nintendo details. I'm guessing that because I registered my Wii U on Club Nintendo that they'll be able to access the serial number there?

I understand that purchases can't be transferred to a new Wii U (really poor!) but I only bought F-Zero so not too bothered by that but surely Nintendo can't be that backwards that a user ID can't be transferred??? What is the point of having the option to link a user ID if you can't?!

Anyway, is there any chance in hell that Nintendo can do anything to help me out or was the guy on the phone trying to pass the buck so he didn't have to tell me the bad news?

Anyone been in a similar situation & been successful?

I just got Black Ops 2 today and it seemed to working fine until I went online.

I got into a game & after about 5 seconds, it threw up this error and said that the disc couldn't be read and may be dirty but its brand new.

Is the Wii U at fault or is it the game? I've tried other games offline & they work, as does this, but this is the first time I've played online with the Wii U & this happens!

Does anyone know of any devices that can extend the range of signal which is transmitted between the Wii U & the gamepad?

I can get halfway up my stairs before the signal cuts out but would like to be able to use the pad in my room for games like Mario & Sonic Transformed

Nintendo has released a statement concerning the Wii U eShop's adult content block.

Last week, it was revealed that Nintendo had blocked the sale of adult-rated content on its eShop until after 11pm.

Nintendo has since confirmed that the sale of mature content has been restricted to comply with German law.

"At Nintendo we always aim to provide a safe gaming experience for fans of all ages and ensure that we comply with applicable legal age restriction requirements across Europe," reads a Nintendo statement.

"Legal age restriction requirements vary across a number of European countries. Since Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany, Nintendo eShop is complying with German youth protection regulation, which therefore applies to all our European markets.

"Under German law, content rated 18+ must be made available only at night.

"Therefore the accessibility of 18+ content in Nintendo eShop is limited to [USK: 22:00 UTC until 4:00 UTC] [PEGI: 23:00 UTC until 3:00 UTC]."

Users attempting to buy restricted content on systems on which no parental controls have been set are met with a message informing them of the block, reading: "You cannot view this content. The times during which this content can be viewed have been restricted."
