Nintendo rolled out the announcement carpet today and unveiled that they would be using a unified online service when the Wii U comes out. Confirmation also states that the online service will be applicable to the 3DS as well.
Customer Service Rep. Dave Marshall had this to say to all the gamers:
A unified account system will be implemented later this year with the launch of the Wii U. Eventually this same account system will be made compatible with Nintendo 3DS systems. At this time we have no additional details to offer and nothing to indicate how or if this will work outside the United States and Canada. In the meantime, if the system has a problem, taking it to an Authorized Service Center will maintain the Nintendo eShop account. If the system is stolen, we can transfer the account to a new system once we are provided with a valid police report.
Of course, everyone knows that the Playstation and Xbox systems have had this online get-together format for awhile. At least Nintendo is making steps to catch up to the rest.
