Misc Unlink NNID account from console and creating a new one without losing data and saves

[FakeShadow]

Hi!

2 months ago I installed on a brand new 3ds xl the a9lh+luma mod, and then system transferred all of my data and accounts from my standard new 3ds to this one. This included my NNID that is tied to my Wii U and Switch too.

I would like to untie this NNID (my main NNID) to my console and create a new NNID, without losing the installed apps or saves. Of course deleting the NNID is not an option either, since it would cause problems with the wii u and switch.

Is it possible?

No, it's not possible. If you unlink your NNID all legit games will be unavailable. If you link a new NNID you can't play with your old legit games but you can make a backup of all your saves and re-inject them after you have installed the games with Freeshop or FBI

Perfect. And how to unlink my NNID?

You actually can unlink a NNID https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting#removing-an-nnid-without-formatting-your-device

by doing that, can you link your nnid to a new console afterward? (or will it say "nnid already linked to a 3ds"?)

if yes i dont really get how the Nintendo servers could take into account this manual unlink to make it available again to new 3ds?

I think it will say that message, but you can ask Nintendo to unlink it, just say it broke or something

yeah i tought of that, but will they not see on their screen "console banned" and refuse to unlink it even if you really lost if or i dont know what?

Nah, I doubt Nintendo would ban you from getting your NNID back. You were console banned, that's all. You weren't NNID banned so I don't why they wouldn't unlink it for you, but give it a shot
