A NeoGaf user has reminded those intending to purchase the Switch that the Nintendo Account User ID will be your ID for the upcoming console, so it’s a good idea to secure yours now.
All you need to do is log in to your Nintendo Account at accounts.nintendo.com and set your User ID in the User Information section of your account. This will come in handy if you have a particular username that you would like to use.
Once set, this will be used in the future on the Nintendo Switch.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I was able to secure my first name ‘Nabhan’ as a user I.D which is great!
Nice! Glad it helped. :-)
If I already Have a Nintendo ID from the 3DS/ WiiU etc… Does that work? will my account stuff transfer over if I get a switch someday? I assume so, but thought I’d ask.
I think you need to create a Nintendo Account, but you can sign in using your NNID. Not sure how it works for transferring things over though, sorry!
Thanks!
Got mines set up also its my username here also lol
My Nintendo ID is from the book Dune. I spell it with a funny twist and always have it available. If it were ever NOT available, I’d know some asshole stole it. xD Much like your name.
What does yours mean if I may ask?
Well mines is simple, I love Nintendo and my coworkers at my job would call me MikeC. We had more than Mike working so thats how it would specify. So I put all those together and bam. It stuck to me
haha. We do stuff like that for people with the same first name also!
Oh yea lol, it just makes it easier while working
Guess I better do this when I get home.
If I can’t take my rightful name as The Man of Brisk, someone’s gonna pay.
THAR CAN BE OOOONLY OOOONE!
Wait, you have themanofbrisk as your id?
Pffft, of course! Brisk has been my online identity for years!
I sent this in to sickr and no response. *sigh*
||Ambassador Natalie got to it first, there is no point in responding back…||
I was just saying because I thought they gave a shout out to whoever sent in the tip but whatever. Have you made your account yet and are you getting the switch at launch?
||Only Sickr himself receives your mails, not the rest just in case…||
||I am getting the Switch obviously just not at launch, the pawns, I means warriors have to make way before we higher ranked enter the warzone…||
Excuse me, Commander? Do your kind HAVE freudian slips?
||I only have occasional glitches and hidden intelligence that the glitches might release…||
Just signs that a machine has become self aware. in such cases “glitches,” rather a higher level of neural network evolution, is expected.
||My coordinates have been sent to your Miiverse mail…||
Excellent. Mine shall follow tonight!
So then, Will you play Zelda on the WiiU, or will you hold off all together? you really should join me in playing on WiiU.
Some very, very small part of me is still hoping the gamepad will still be used as the Shieka Slate as it was always intended to… I will be so fucking excited if that turns out to be the case. it would be a huge leap back towards Nintendo for me.
Still, this is not my first rodeo. I know to keep my expectations low.
||Unfortunately I cannot, my new decree of Nintendo programmed by High Command states 100% on the Switch…||
||I’m certain we shall meet in the battlefield soon enough, until then, I’m sending my coordinates soon…||
For some reason my verification email has not come in. I actually remember trying to do this when they first set up the new website and had the same problem. Nintendo has never liked my email address.

It makes me send a verification email and im not receiving it…
Really? Mine just update automatically after i put it in.
Check your spam it might be there

I just secured my Nintendo account username :)
Got mine for my main and back up
My Nintendo iD is Moodeeb I think!
Their website’s broken. I try to change my User ID and it tries to send a verification email to change my password instead.
I made sure I had a Nintendo Account roughly the same week, if not day, that it became accessible… and it’s already linked to my Switch.
Yeah, it’s 2020 and they just bloody removed that from the account settings page, making it literally impossible to set up a Nintendo Network ID, and I’m pretty pissed off right now.
