Last night I used my copy of Zelda Fourswords: Anniversary Edition and my A9LH o3DS to hack my friend's o3DS. In the process, I obviously had to do a system transfer and therefore move my NNID to my friend's 3DS. Plailect's guide is a little vague on how to get that NNID back, so here's what to do:
- Make sure you have the 3DS you want the NNID on, and you know your NNID username and email.
- Call Nintendo at (855)703-8783.
- Follow the instructions to talk to a specialist about your NNID.
- Say that you would like your NNID transferred to a new system and you do not have physical access to your old one. Your specialist will ask for the serial number on the back of the "new" system (the one you want the NNID on).
- If he (or she) asks when you last had access to your old system, just say it was last week (it doesn't really matter).
- After answering a few questions, you should get approved for the NNID transfer.
- Wait for an email from Nintendo. Mine took a little under 24 hours, but it can apparently take up to 2 days.
- If you try to follow the email's instructions, you will still get the error that "You cannot use this Nintendo Network ID on this system."
- Press A, then quickly press X and Y together and another message should pop up asking if you want to unlink the system. Confirm by pressing A.
- Follow the steps to use a current NNID and put in the credentials of your NNID.
You should now be linked to your original NNID without having to wait a week and make another system transfer. Just note you have to have received the email for steps 9 and 10 to work.
