Last updated
Got a Nintendo 3DS and wondering how to sign out of your Nintendo account? You’re in the right spot!
Let’s dive into the steps to sign out of a Nintendo account on a 3DS system.
Quick Steps to Sign Out
First up, it’s essential to know that the process is simple. To log out, you’ll need to access the System Settings on your 3DS.
Once you’re in System Settings, navigate to ‘Nintendo Network ID Settings’. Here, you’ll find the option to ‘Unlink your Nintendo Network ID’, effectively signing you out. Remember, this won’t delete your Nintendo Network ID; it just removes it from your 3DS device.
Why Sign Out?
There are a few reasons you might want to sign out. Maybe you’re planning to sell your 3DS, or you’re passing it to a friend or family member. Signing out ensures your account remains secure and personal information stays safe.
Also, unlinking your account means you can link it to a new or different device without any hiccups, keeping all your games and purchases in one place.
