Back when the Wii U launched, I purchased one. Best Buy had a return policy during their holiday season (this was 2012 when the Wii U launched) where you could return it prior to the end of January 2013. Well, at that time, I was not satisfied with the Wii U and returned it. Today, April 2014, I purchased a Wii U. I try to link my eShop account, and it says that it is already registered to another Wii U, which is obviously the one I returned.
Now, I have a 3DS, and I even tried the route of UNLINKING. It worked, and I "re-linked" the account on my 3DS just fine... but I still get the same error message on my Wii U, stating it's registered for another Wii U console.
I'm unsure of what to do here. If there are any links, guides, instrucitons, etc that could help be unregister my name to my 2012 Wii U so I can register it for my new one. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much to those who respond.
