Nintendo is now allowing users to create a new user ID for the Switch. Now, you might think you already have an account set up, in the form of a NNID, but a Nintendo Network ID is different from what the Switch will be using. You can sign into your Nintendo Account here, where you can create a username that you want to use for when the Switch launches. Scroll down to "user ID", and click edit. You'll get a verification code to your email, and once entered, you can create a 6+ character username. The time is now to register to get your favorite username!

As a last resort I guess, change your e-mail and then try resending it.

Ayyyy

EDIT: Oh boy Nintendo

We're you able to change your user ID?

But then my account would be under new email.

1. Visit sign in page
2. Click Sign in with nintendo network id
3. Click user info
4. Click User Id
5. Submit

This is the right steps right? You probably did this before posting that news, so you got early bird special advantage, you sneak.

Yeah, that's exactly what i did. What email provider do you use? Maybe it acts up with certain email domains? I dunno.

Xzi is too short, so oxidize it is.

I been using hotmail for nintendo and playstation.

Yeah, that's right. But I assume you have to set up your password like some others here, and if you're not receiving an e-mail for it, pick a different e-mail just to get past that step. Then simply switch it back to one of your liking.

Isnt this more akin to a login name rather than an actual user name that other players will be able to see online?

Yeah you can change your user ID.

People online will see your Mii name/nickname. Not your user ID. The user ID is just for friends to type in to befriend you.

Oh, rip. Time to edit nickname...?

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Nevermind, finally got it after spamming for 20 mins.

My original intention was to be like "SO HELP ME GOD IF ANYONE TAKE MY USER NAME..." Until march 3 when i get the system, but as long as i been here on this site, i don't trust certain people.

You not get to nick name or favorite, your miis this time. I forgot what thread it was in, but it was on gbatemp

 

[Yoni Arousement]

Alright, candrasoftware here! My yandex address received the notifications with little delay, and I've linked all my Social Media accounts. Apparently, Nintendo Switch comes out 8 years after my join date here.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Nice, glad it worked.

I hope switch has a better mii maker, the miis we been using look very silly and unrealistic as much as it being almost nothing like me at all.

@Chary Why you didn't show us your mii, too embarassed?

Also under linked accounts, it has google, what is it for? Online backup of save data to cloud? that be cool

I'll never say how much i'm happy to have seen that thread. Really.
