Nintendo UK has clarified the options available to users once the discontinuation begins of signing into your Nintendo Account via either Facebook or Twitter. The option to sign into your account with the social media platforms begins on 25th October, 2022.
As of 25 October 2022, it will no longer be possible to link a Facebook or Twitter account to a Nintendo Account.
- It will no longer be possible to create a new Nintendo Account using a Facebook or Twitter account.
- You will still be able to sign in or create a new Nintendo Account with your Google or Apple account.
- It will also no longer be possible to participate in missions through which you can earn My Nintendo Points by linking your Nintendo Account to a Facebook or Twitter account.
- The discontinuation time may be pushed back due to system issues.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause to those who have been using a Facebook or Twitter account to sign in to their Nintendo Account.
How to Sign In After the Discontinuation of This Option
After the discontinuation of this option, it will no longer be possible to use a Facebook or Twitter account to sign in to a Nintendo Account.
When using devices that you have already signed in to your Nintendo Account on, you may be able to use your Nintendo Account without signing in again. However, if the sign-in screen appears, please sign in using one of the following methods:
- Sign in with your Nintendo Account email address (or Sign-In ID) and password.
- Please enter your Nintendo Account password, not your Facebook or Twitter password.
- Sign in with your Google or Apple account.
I wonder why this is now a thing and is this for every region?
It’s only for the UK it says it in the article.
good for Nintendo. Best to step away from twitter and their fake bots and the co-conspirators with the FBI at facebook.
I get getting away from Twitter. Bots everywhere! (Thx for exposing that, Musk.) Along other issues with that toxic site.
But Facebook? What stupid shit have they done?
The FBI went to facebook and told them that the hunter biden laptop story was fake and to shut down any posts about it. The FBI had the laptop the whole time. Facebook is now reporting users to the FBI if they question certain things.
=/ Oh I thought that you were joking…
Damn… y’all are stupid crazy.
Zuckerberg admitted the fbi coverup to Joe Rogan
can we please get the dam politics out of here god you people make me sick
Same like not everyone likes or cares about politics feels like people make it their whole personality as well 😂
Yeah they still are.😆
was just answering a question from Dragon Trigger. But the truth is sometimes painful and makes you sick to your stomach, I know.
you are a moron
Makes sense Facebook and Twitter are horrible sites ran by horrible people. They’ve done catastrophic damage to society, and should be shuddered.
I joined Twitter for about a week, I immediately closed the account afterwards, threw my computer into a fire and have scheduled therapy.
That place is NOT a social media site, it’s a giant digital mental asylum.
Nintendo has announced that it will be discontinuing the ability to sign in to Nintendo Accounts using Facebook and Twitter accounts. This change will take effect on March 8, 2023.
