You did remember to claim your new Nintendo User ID for the Switch, right Sup Forums?

You did remember to claim your new Nintendo User ID for the Switch, right Sup Forums?

No because I'm not going to buy a switch

Where do I sign up I don't want to be xxNarutoDexlessSin69xx420

Well duh.

Did it earlier today desu fampai

>complicated
How is it more complicated then usual?
I don't know anything about this.

I did it weeks ago.

I don't plan to get a Switch any time soon.

Am I going to need a new account for the 3DS?

Hopefully they'll start locking games you've bought to your account rather than the system, so you don't have to re-purchase everything if it breaks. It astonishes me that they didn't re-work everything for the 3DS when they found out about freeshop, although they may have already been in too deep.

wait, what? aw shit am i too late? where do i go to do this???

>dexless sin
>became normal with BB

>the latest addition to its complicated online accounts
the press is really fucking biased

accounts.nintendo.com

It's also not even confirmed what the User ID is for, and it's been there since December.

>Complicated

They're pretty much consolidating all of it

thanks user

>nintendo uses a number system
WOOOOW nintendo really?!?

>nintendo uses user names
WOOOOW nintendo really?!?!

Say you make hacks and exploits and have a Twitter following.

Do you sign up with your Twitter handle? Or something else.

is there some kind of deadline??????????

where the fuck were you three months ago?

You don't have to repurchase, but you do need to contact Nintendo to use your account with a new device if you can't access your old one. Sometimes they aren't even willing to help you with it. If you tell them someone stole it, you might have to show them the police report apparently.

My Nintendo
Club Nintendo
Nintendo Network ID
NIntendo User ID

and more I'm sure. None of which were connected or even used the same credentials. I don't see how they can be defended on this, they blow at online and now they blow and charge you for it.

>someone will claim my name that wont even buy a switxh

>Complicated
>Pick name
>Pick password

The media is just now reporting on it.

Can I sign up for one even without owning any Nintendo console?

>Got Kirizame before someone who couldn't get Kirisame tried to get it

Club Nintendo has been gone for a while, silly

>everyone of those are the same shit
>defend this
i dont need to defend shit, i dont care about some corporation and their plastic crap

SEE

>None of which were connected or even used the same credentials
???

I use my NNID to log into My Nintendo and my 3DS, Club Nintendo is also dead so I don't know why you'd even mention it.

>tfw bagged mine months ago
>tfw it's nothing anyone would have ever stolen in the first place

>claim yours now
>when everyone did so months ago

got nintendotreehouse, Miyamoto420, zelda69, and my actual preferred username

i got assman so i hope they don't try to make me change it

yes

Just snagged nigger

Did it earlier today, got some cool ones

>got SegataSanshiro

...

>zero interest in buying a Switch because I'm not 10 years old
>still taking as many usernames as I can with throwaway emails

>trying to make account
>not sending the confirmation email
>retry it
>Access Denied
What the fuck did I do?

>None of which were connected
???????????
You connect your NNID to your My Nintendo account. 'Nintendo User ID' is literally just a username for your My Nintendo. How is this 'complicated'?

>first letter of your name has to start with lowercase

This is triggering me.

Sounds autistic.
What are you planning to do with those usernames?

because the current process for original accounts was miiverse>nnid>mynintendo>User ID

Who's /RegisteredTheirActualFirstName/ here?

Doesn't the Switch just use the same Nintendo account they have had since Miitomo released?

>got VideoGames
fuck you all

See

yes but the user id is your display name on the account for the switch

Nothing, I'm just hoping to make some Nintoddler butthurt when he tries to get a new username and is denied.

>nintendo having a persistent account
oh you, teehee

So where the fuck do you make it

>display name
>when you have to pay for online

who gives a shit?

Nice bank account there Alex.

Do you come with the car?

So what is even the point of this actually? Isn't the user ID just another screen name for the NNID?

Sure did. Mine is:

xX420up_in_ur_mom69Xx

Can you add spaces?

This. You could have selected your User ID months ago.

Why is everyone posting this again?

>complicated
>pick name/password

some people shouldn't have access to the internet

thanks OP

I'm finally quick enough to get nicktendo64

>complicated
>go to nintendo account
>scroll down to USER ID
>type in what name I wanted
>done
WOW SO COMPLICATED

but... Nintendo

>I'm not 10 years old but I'll proceed to act like it by taking names just to spite a fanbase

Grow up dude.

How long is the confirmation email taking for you guys?

NNID is being phased out I think. Maybe because you can't change country in it. Nickname is your display name while User ID is your account username and will probably be like your friend code since it's unique.

how do people legitimately like or care about nintendo anymore? I mean I used to, but they're a joke now. boggles the brain

So wait, is your nickname the same as your User ID?

NNID is now deprecated, user ID is the one moving forward

Nickname is the alias, like how Steam lets you pick a screen name but your login ID never changes

That doesn't even make sense. Everyone's Miis already said their first name. I bet your some faggot who had to settle for Jimmy69 or some shit.

>user ID must be six characters or more

Fuck

You can freely change it, so I don't get this. Isn't it just a display name that isn't unique?

Instant. That being said, I remember people having trouble with this when the FE mobage was released, which email are you using?

>I mean I used to, but they're a joke now.

You mean every single video game company?

We just grew up is all and recognize shitty business practices and weird things that companies/devs do.

Anyone on Sup Forums only buys consoles that have exclusive games that they want first, and other reasons second. Why would that be hard to figure out?

You kill yourself

Outlook and I've been waiting for many instants

Why not just make it so NNID can change country?

Its okay user be "Billy_" instead.

outlook doesn't work for whatever reason

Nintendo please.

has nothing to do with growing up. I can play old games that I never played as a kid and still enjoy them.

>sonyalwayswins
>nickname is Chad Daddy
>not even buying a Shitch

Hopefully this will pull Nintendo's online service out of the 1990's.

Well, the article wasn't talking about the sign up being complicated, they were talking about Nintendo's online account system. Which is not at all complicated.

Theverge is trash.

If you pick a video game character, do you pick the first name only or the whole name?

>got bowser
fug yes

>Most of the good six letter words are already taken

Fuck

Maybe it's a legal thing? Since prices and stores differ by country.

Good thing I've never had to worry about registering my unique name.

Thank God for weird ass hippy parents.

>spending time making accounts so some random person you don't know might me mildly bothered their name has been taken before jumping to their next name or just adding some numbers

Do you actually have autism?

And that has nothing to do with your first question. Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, etc always did stupid shit. None of them are a joke "now", we just recognize when they do stupid shit like online subscriptions or make several versions of the same fucking console.

Dunno then, my old hotmail accounts can get them instantly so I dunno what the go is. Better luck next time champ.

Get fucked drones.

...

nope. never had to deal with account bullshit except for shitty mmos. never bought a new version of a console, and there was only one new version, if anything.

>Bullshit
>Simply pick a name and password

...

So what did you set yours to be Sup Forums?
