How to Transfer Your Nintendo Account to a New Switch
Last updated
Ever gotten a shiny new Nintendo Switch and wondered, “How do I transfer my Nintendo account to this awesome new device?” Well, you’re not alone! It’s a common question among gamers looking to upgrade their gaming setup or replace a lost or broken console.
So, how exactly do you move your precious Nintendo account, with all its games and achievements, to a new Switch? Let’s dive into the quick and easy steps to make this happen.
Quick Guide to Transferring Your Nintendo Account
First things first, you’ll need both your old and new Nintendo Switch consoles ready. Make sure both devices are connected to the internet. Start by signing into your Nintendo account on your new Switch. Go to the System Settings menu, then User, and select “Transfer Your User Data.” Follow the on-screen instructions to move your account. It’s that simple!
Remember, this process transfers all your game data, saved games, and friend lists. However, some game saves might not transfer if the developer has disabled this feature. Also, this process doesn’t transfer your screenshots and videos, so back those up separately!
