You can get either a unregistered or registered one through the app by itself.

Also the Suica app does have the ability to load special tickets - you have to use the app for it. Not sure about the NEX.

There is talk of Suica enabled Shinkansen tickets coming this fall.
I should point out that the app is in Japanese so you need someone who speaks / reads Japanese to do complicated stuff.

Most people on this forum seem to be able to issue bog standard unregistered cards without any knowledge of Japanese.
