Music Monday: Sturm Und Kong
This is one of my favourite remixes of a classic Donkey Kong Country 2 theme. Sturm Und Kong is part of an album that can be found on OC Remix and is also where many other remixed fan made songs can be found. Hope you enjoy!

Nintendo Network ID and Miiverse Making The Jump To 3DS
3DS and Wii U eShop balances are now being merged with the upcoming 3DS update, which means leftover funds from either console can be used with the other. And on top of that, Nintendo Network IDs will now be shared across both the WIi U and 3DS platforms with the upcoming December update.
Nintendo also hinted at the possibility of unified accounts across both platforms with NNID. The following is a PR release from earlier.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A December system update for the Nintendo 3DS portable system will allow users to combine their Nintendo eShop account balance for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Nintendo announced the news during a Nintendo Direct video released earlier today.
After the Nintendo 3DS system update, users can register their Nintendo Network ID for Wii U on their Nintendo 3DS systems and combine Nintendo eShop account balances. This will enable them to purchase Wii U software using the remaining balance on their Nintendo 3DS eShop accounts, and vice versa. Nintendo 3DS owners who do not own a Wii U system can also create their own Nintendo Network ID for the first time.
This system update will also mark the beginning of Miiverse support on Nintendo 3DS. With a Nintendo Network ID and a wireless Internet connection, users will be able to connect with players around the world to share their experiences and game tips through Miiverse on Nintendo 3DS. For more information and notices from Nintendo about the system update, visit http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/nnid.
