Wondering how to bring together your Nintendo world by linking your Nintendo account to a 3DS? You’ve come to the right spot!

Getting your Nintendo account linked up with your 3DS is like bridging two worlds of fun. Let’s find out how!

Quick Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Account to a 3DS

First off, make sure you have a stable internet connection on your 3DS. You’ll need this to link your account smoothly.

Go to the System Settings of your 3DS, then click on ‘Nintendo Network ID Settings’. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Nintendo account. If you don’t have a Nintendo Network ID (NNID) yet, you’ll get the option to create one. Just follow the prompts, and you’ll be all set!

Why Link Your Nintendo Account to Your 3DS?

Linking your Nintendo account to your 3DS opens a treasure chest of fun. You’ll gain access to digital games, DLCs, and even some apps exclusive to Nintendo account holders. Plus, it makes managing your game downloads and purchases way easier.

And guess what? Once linked, your game scores, achievements, and playtime can follow you across Nintendo’s ecosystem. Cool, right?
