Last updated
Have you ever wondered how to swap your Nintendo Network ID on your beloved 3DS? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can change your Nintendo Network ID on your 3DS, making your gaming experience even more personalized.
Changing your Nintendo Network ID on a 3DS might feel like a maze. Let’s break it down into simple, bite-sized steps!
Quick Steps to Change Your Nintendo Network ID on 3DS
First things first, if you’re looking to change your Nintendo Network ID (NNID) on your 3DS, here’s something important to know: Nintendo doesn’t allow a direct change of NNID once it’s linked to your 3DS. But don’t worry, there’s a workaround.
If you really need a new NNID, you’ll have to create a new one on a different system and then link that new NNID to your 3DS. Remember, this means you’ll lose access to any digital content purchased with the old NNID, so make sure it’s worth it before you make the switch.
