Last updated
Ever scratched your head wondering how you can sign out of your Nintendo Network ID on your 3DS? You’re in the right place to find out!
If you’re trying to figure out the steps to log out of your Nintendo Network ID on the 3DS, we’ve got you covered.
Quick Steps to Sign Out
Signing out of your Nintendo Network ID on a 3DS isn’t as straightforward as clicking a ‘log out’ button, but it’s doable with a few steps. First, you’ll need to go to the system settings on your 3DS.
Once you’re in the system settings, navigate to the ‘Other Settings’ tab, scroll down, and select ‘Format System Memory’. This is the only official way to sign out, as it removes your Nintendo Network ID from the device.
Why You’d Want to Sign Out
There could be several reasons why you’d want to sign out of your Nintendo Network ID. Maybe you’re selling your 3DS, or perhaps you’re passing it on to a family member. Formatting the system memory ensures that your personal information and digital purchases are safe.
Remember, formatting will erase all the data on your 3DS, so make sure to back up any game saves or important information before proceeding
