You can now create your user ID for the Nintendo Switch

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!

When I click change next to user id, the page pops up for changing passwords - that is, a message saying that a mail to change the pass will be sent to my mailadd.

For anyone using Outlook.com / Hotmail or an Office 365 powered email address you need to add accounts.nintendo.com and nintendo.com to your safe sender list, then re send the confirmation email from their website to get the confirmation email.

You can do this like so:

Why is everyone getting hype about this? this user name choice has been around for along time now, its nothing related to the Switch, well it mentions nothing Switch related even changing it!. Its just to do with your MyNintendo Username Account, that's all, its not Switch affiliated yet! It should be the same username id you have on your WiiU. Unless this is an out of region Nintendo choice, maybe its only US and has not reached Nintendo UK yet?

I've been seeing news about this like it's an amazing thing. I was able to link my NNID to my My Nintendo Account in March last year, and noticed there was a user ID bar on profile settings in November. This is nothing new. I've known about this far longer than any human who is making "news" out of this. Don't mean to sound rude, I'm just trying to make my point clear.
Same here.
Ive been to my nintendo account at lest 1 day out the week.
Either way i mines has been setup. Just waiting on the switch. 10 more days i hope. (Hope it gets delivery on or before release day)
