Bought this on a whim off the Nintendo store. Could not connect to my separate Ubisoft account required to run the game, and could not run the game without connecting separately to Ubisoft, despite buying it from Nintendo.com using my Nintendo account. Nintendo does not offer any refunds on digital products, so I'm out a lot of money on a brand-new, never used game. Would have preferred to leave a review under the product page, but Nintendo doesn't allow that. Even if you were to purchase the physical version, I still wouldn't recommend it for the separate Ubisoft account login requirement, but at least then you might have a chance to return it to where you go it from.
