So, a long, long time ago I had a new 3ds, some games, and a NNID that I used in that console. After some time I sold it - and by all accounts looking back now, I probably didn't fully understand how the NNID worked, and didn't properly unlink it from the system.
Years passed, and now that I bought a new (used) new 3DS (!) I just can't logging using my NNID. Classic 3ds error code:
So, googling it tells me to contact Nintendo, which I did, explaining my situation. Their response is pretty straightforward:
That would be ok, but the problem is that I'm not american, and neither can speak in english (even if I can write more or less legible sentences, and read just fine).
So, the next logical step is to just make a new account, right? Forget the old one, whatever. I go to my Nintendo account, edit associated account, unlink the NNID - done.
But when I go back, and try to link a new one, it doesn't let me. I click on the option, but it simply brings back the old account. No option to add a fresh account, it just acts like a toggle button between link-unlink.
So... What should I do? There's any sane option to link a new NNID? Or am I just stuck forever with this ghost NNID on my actual Nintendo account?
Thanks for reading
