Last updated
Are you trying to figure out how to access your Nintendo account on your 3DS? You’ve come to the right place! Let’s get you logged in and ready to play.
If you’re scratching your head wondering how to bring your Nintendo account into your 3DS experience, don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it.
Step-by-Step Guide to Accessing Your Nintendo Account
First things first, it’s important to note that you directly can’t log into a Nintendo account on a 3DS in the same way you would on a Nintendo Switch or via the web. Instead, you link your Nintendo Network ID (NNID) to your Nintendo account.
If you haven’t set up a NNID on your 3DS yet, you’ll need to do that first. Head over to the system settings, find the “Other Settings” tab, scroll over to “Nintendo Network ID Settings,” and follow the prompts to create or link an existing NNID. After setting up your NNID, if your Nintendo account and NNID are linked, you’re essentially accessing your Nintendo account through your 3DS!
Why Link Your Nintendo Account with Your 3DS?
Linking your Nintendo account to your 3DS through your NNID allows you to download games, collect rewards, and more! It’s a great way to enhance your gaming experience on this classic handheld device.
Once linked, you can access the Nintendo eShop, download games and even earn points for your purchases. It’s a sweet deal for any Nintendo fan looking to expand their game library or dive back into some classic titles.
