you bugging Nintendo is funky on the downloads. Tied to systems instead of accounts and all this weird stuff.
I've never been burned by them. In fact Nintendo has been nothing but good to me as far back as i can remember, and I had a nintendo power subscription when i was like 10 and I've called them because the mailman had set it on the ground and it was wet, not only did they send me a free mag but they sent me a super metroid poster
when my wii that i waited in line for died at launch because i didnt turn it off for like 6 months and the fan got clocked and it was bricked, they hooked a brother up.
when my wiiu that i copped at launch died within a short amount of time (thread is on here somewhere) they hooked a brother up.
the only thing ive ever downloaded from them are virtual console games.
i fukked up and i didnt link my wiiu to my nintendo acct prior to downloading mk8 but if i dont get my code in my email in like 2 days ima call him and im sure they will come through
