Adding a Profile on Nintendo Switch: Step-by-Step
Adding a profile on your Nintendo Switch is a piece of cake! First, power up your Switch and select ‘System Settings’ from the home screen. You’ll find this as an icon that looks like a cog.
Next, scroll down to ‘Users’ and select ‘Add User.’ You’ll have the option to choose an icon for your new profile (maybe Mario or Zelda?) and to enter a nickname. After that, you’re all set! You can now customize your profile or link it to a Nintendo Account for more features.
Why Adding a Profile Elevates Your Gaming Experience
By adding a profile, you allow everyone in the household to have their own save files and game progress. This means no more arguing over overwritten saves! Plus, it makes it easier to manage game purchases and downloads for each user.
Now that you know how to add extra profiles, why not make the gaming experience even more rewarding?
