To set up a Nintendo Network ID on a Nintendo Switch, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your Nintendo Switch and go to the home menu.
2. Select the System Settings icon (it looks like a gear).
3. Scroll down and select the Users tab.
4. Select Add User.
5. Choose a user icon and enter a nickname for the user.
6. Select Next.
7. Choose whether to link a Nintendo Account or create a new one. If you already have a Nintendo Account, select “Sign in and link.” If you don’t have one, select “Create a new one.”
8. If you choose to create a new Nintendo Account, follow the on-screen instructions to set it up.
9. If you choose to sign in and link your existing Nintendo Account, enter your email address and password associated with your Nintendo Account.
10. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
Once you have set up a Nintendo Account or linked your existing one, you can link your Nintendo Network ID (NNID) to it. Here’s how:
1. Go to the Nintendo Account website (https://accounts.nintendo.com/) and sign in with your Nintendo Account.
2. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the page and select “User info” from the dropdown menu.
3. Scroll down to the Linked accounts section and click on “Edit.”
4. Look for the box next to “Nintendo Network ID” and click on it.
5. A prompt will appear asking you to enter your NNID and password. Enter the required information and click “Link.”
6. Follow any additional on-screen steps to complete the process.
By linking your Nintendo Network ID to your Nintendo Account, you can access your NNID’s digital purchases and online services on your Nintendo Switch. This includes any Wii U or Nintendo 3DS games you have purchased digitally.
It’s worth noting that once you have linked your NNID to your Nintendo Account, you cannot unlink or transfer it to another Nintendo Account. So make sure you link it to the correct account.
Additionally, if you don’t have a Nintendo Network ID, you can create one by following the instructions on the Nintendo website. This will allow you to access online features, such as multiplayer and the eShop, on your Nintendo Switch.
I hope this guide helps you set up your Nintendo Network ID on your Nintendo Switch successfully. Enjoy your gaming experience!
