So I want to buy some games from the eShop, is my brother able to play them too, or do we need to buy the game twice? We've both linked our 3DS to my Club Nintendo account.

Thanks in advance!

Can you actually tie the same account to two consoles? Convinient, if so, but I imagined they'd just unlink you from the previous console.

I read somewhere (on the 3DS) that you can tie one account up to 8 different consoles.

But this really sucks, now we have to pay both the full price :(

That is a shame you both have to buy the game, but i'm not really suprised. You could imagine 8 friends sharing games if they all shared a single account and such practices would harm sales. Again, it would be nice, but you can see why they don't allow it.

Yeah, I think I'm used to the fact that you can share the games because I always did it on the PS3 :)
