How do I delete a nintendo developer account?

[Deleted member 558110]

I don't want it. I thought it would be cool to make a game but I can't for any of the consoles because of the expensive dev units and I do not want to be on it.

i don't see why you'd need to, there really isn't any harm in keeping it around and forgetting about it

i don't even remember any of my info so it's as good as nonexistent

I would rather not have it if I don't use it. I just want it gone.

contact Nintendo probably

Without that? I saw a video using it with a normal game made with it, like a port of this dudes game to it. I just want the easiest way to just remove the account without other people via email.

Ask them if you can add TX support, that'll get your account closed

Depending upon where you are the "right to be forgotten" or some variation on the theme might be in play. Though it is usually more for private individuals and data on them. Similar laws, which do have something equivalent in the US, also see companies have to give out any private data they might have on you in response to a proper request. The reply to such a request could see you in turn formulate something that can serve as a cease of any business agreements. Such a thing might well be better served by finding a lawyer versed in privacy and contract law to get them to do it for you, depending upon what you used to sign up (personal, corporation, something else) they might even be able to formulate the cease agreement from that but we are well outside my wheelhouse right now (anything I know here is more my desire to not be tied in knots myself by agreeing to do some work for someone, not really how you get out once you are under it).
Might be worth paying for a couple of hours consultation to figure out what goes here.

As far as reasons. By joining the Nintendo developer set you might have signed away certain rights (it was quite the restrictive agreement, one that saw many around here advised against it when they did open up and what you presumably joined under), though I have no idea how sticky Nintendo want them to be nor how enforceable they might be (restrictions on former devs, employees, contractors, and business partners is a whole rabbit hole that sees new things generated on the daily, and might be further changed if you never actually saw anything that might be proprietary).

Any easier ways to get the account removed?

No idea. I imagine this is the typical one sided deal a big company offers the insects playing at its feet so that can make things a bit fun.
If you could log in (or maybe a forgot password option) then you could see if they have an option.
If you have the emails they sent when signing up then they might contain something.
If the agreement is public (or maybe you sign up with dummy details far enough to get to the new agreement) it might have the conditions required to end it ("send blah in writing to" or whatever you get like that).

Basically your aesthetic sense is probably going to cost you some time with a lawyer. They might also have some idea of what provisions won't stand up in court, or some means of getting out of things that is known because lawyer dealing with it.

I have come to the conclusion I can forget about the account

as long as it's not a monthly fee don't worry about it i'd say if you love coding games invest in an xbox one and get a dev license (since a retail One or S/X can be turned into a dev kit without buying an expensive separate unit)
