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!

I only now find out recently from reddit. I didn't even check if my NNID was valid. Just thought of a new name altogether and surprisingly, I got it.

No caps lock? What a joke. I'll stick to my old username then (I'd want my new to have caps lock at least twice).

That's odd. When I click at 'User ID' it leads me to a password recovery page

Can someone share the actual URL of the correct page?

That's normal if you sign up or log in with a gmail account. Reset the password and then it will allow you to change your User ID

I thought gbatemp's server is being slow again, but my internet actually died for a couple of minutes for some reason. Anyway, thanks, that worked. I selected the same ID I use as my NNID because, duh.
