Nintendo shared first details about Nintendo Account (its new term for accounts) and My Nintendo (new membership service) during its financial results briefing today. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know:

– Ease of creation/use of Nintendo Accounts being emphasized

– Register with NNID, Facebook, Twitter, Google, e-mail

– Purchase software downloads on the site, see purchases, play info, and game-related messages

– Nintendo will send notices and gifts

– Ex: Animal Crossing character called Isabel may send some information or a present to those who are playing with that game, Mario Kart players may receive a notice about add-on content and we may also send a message that enables the recipient to purchase some software at an attractive price point on his or her birthday

– Games purchased can be automatically downloaded to your system

– Receive points by using and playing games or purchasing them

– This applies to both console and mobile

– Use points on digital goods (maybe DLC), original goods, and coupons

– Use your account in conjunction with the theme park, as well as theaters and stores

– Make friends with those who enjoy playing games together by establishing “Friend” relationships

– Friend relationship can be established only between two people who know each other and have consented to the relationship

– This Friend relationship can be used for software for dedicated game systems and smart device applications

– Nintendo Accounts will provide cloud storage of character and save data

– Will provide membership service benefits in other real-life facilities such as theme parks, movie theaters and retail outlets

– My Nintendo will work as a bridge between dedicated game systems and smart devices

– My Nintendo out in March
