Gottem

 

[Maintenance]

Don't sleep on this, people. I already had a Nintendo Account for a long time but the User ID option was blank. Even if you created one for Miitomo and similar stuff, check it again.

 

[Rappy]

Can you change after it's set? I guess Ill ahev to come up with a new one since my gaf name is only 5 characters.

Yes, you can change it anytime.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

For the record, this service has been up for literally a year. I registered my nick on day one pretty sure, and it was Feb 16, 2016. So if your name is already taken, don't be too shocked!

Came here to say the same thing.
Ya beat me, son

 

[L Thammy]

Claimed mine, suck it you L Thammy wannabes.

But we already have a Nintendo Network ID, why do we need another username?

 

[Pyrokai]

Wait, so it doesn't use my already existing Nintendo Account username?

Yeah this confusing me. I thought I did this when Miitomo can out.

Where exactly do I click to make a user ID of its not the same as my account name?

 

[Nesther]

It's lame that there's no capital letters and no spaces.
It's like 2001 era technology.

At first I thought I messed up and tried changing it.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

I am the only one RoiPourpre.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Good, no one took mine.

 

[Chanser]

Done mine a while ago.

 

[Spirited]

Nice, got mine. I always get irritated when spirited is already taken.

 

[DatAhmedz]

Grabbed Ahmedz before the other Ahmedzs out there did B)

 

[pretty done]

Nice, got my OG ID.

Hope it stays active even without a console because there's almost no chance I get a Switch before Mario.

 

[The Main Event]

themainevent is mine

 

[Tathanen]

That was nicknames, we are now talking about unique user ID, they can only be lowercase.

You may be right that these happened at different times, but the user ID is not a new thing. I've had the all-lowercase user ID set for months.

 

[Resistance100]

Claimed mine, suck it you L Thammy wannabes.

But we already have a Nintendo Network ID, why do we need another username?

I image nintendo network is being replaced

 

[Alcotholic]

Do I need to make a new one if I have an account through wii u?

 

[Twookie]

Couldn't use uppercase letters, sigh.

oh so that's why it wouldn't work for me

weird why the website wouldn't tell you that you cannot use uppercase letters, but oh well /shrug

 

[Uzukii]

Welp, I set mine even though I'll probably never get a Switch. Nintendo can suck my big, fat Wii U.

 

[Kouriozan]

Came here to say the same thing.
Ya beat me, son

You two should probably double check if you got this :

 

[Aleh]

My accounts are always either Aleh or Aleeeeeh (with 5 E's, because why not), so I went with the latter this time too. God bless consistency!

Mine switched to all lowercase letters. Is that normal?

Yup it's normal

 

[ViciousDS]

got zynster


woop woop

 

[lt519]

Good, no one took mine.

The HD Rumble Ice Cube puns will be strong. Good thing you got in

 

[Andyliini]

I tried changing it, but it said it was alreadt in use. Then again, I remember doing this a couple of months ago, so I think I just had the user ID already. At least I hope so.

 

[Fliesen]

thanks for the hint, was too lazy to consolidate my Nintendo / Wii / Eshop / whatever accounts, let alone use a safer password.

 

[megabytecr]

I migrated like 3 months ago, clicking on your link took me to my account.

 

[Fuchs]

Damn.

 

[Chylo]

Fuck, another that requires 6 characters...

 

[jon bones]

jonbones comin at ya

damn shame about the 6 characters - been trying to just move to 'bones'

 

[Dee Dee]

I click on "edit ID", but it keeps redirecting me to "change password". What am I doing wrong?

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Hmmm, My User ID says not set in an orange box but when i click "Change" it offers to send a password change email. Can i do this from my Wii U instead?

edit: What Dee Dee said.

 

[Nesther]

I migrated like 3 months ago, clicking on your link took me to my account.

That's where you need to set your User ID.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Got my usual...

 

[Eria]

I just took Okatsu as ID

 

[lt519]

Damn.

Lets start a petition

Spoiler

/s

 

[Bubble Walrus]

When I click UserID it just goes to password reset instead! Help!

 

[:Motorbass]

I can't change (set) it. (Germany) When I click the Edit button next to User-ID it takes me to a page where I can reset my Password (send me a mail...) Seems like the button is linked wrongly

 

[Kouriozan]

I click on "edit ID", but it keeps redirecting me to "change password". What am I doing wrong?

Yes, it always do that if you want to change it.

 

[Diablohead]

No capital letters is a bit weird.

Also you can change it as many times as you like but you can't have duplicates? that seems so weird to me.

 

[panama chief]

If you are being prompted to update your password, your USER ID is not set. Click the link, enter the verification number, and it will prompt you to set a user ID

 

[Kyoufu]

I did this over a month ago.

 

[jon bones]

I can't change (set) it. (Germany) When I click the Edit button next to User-ID it takes me to a page where I can reset my Password (send me a mail...) Seems like the button is linked worngly

no, first set your new pw then you can create your user id

 

[Chylo]

I click on "edit ID", but it keeps redirecting me to "change password". What am I doing wrong?

Same happened to me, but after changing my password it now lets me change the user id.

 

[Fliesen]

I click on "edit ID", but it keeps redirecting me to "change password". What am I doing wrong?

Did the same for me, i entered a new password (needed to do that anyways) and then was forwarded to a place where i could set my User-ID

 

[KAL2006]

I've taken Wario

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

That was kind of confusing, since I always signed in with my NNID before, but I was able to get what I wanted, minus the space.

 

[cyba89]

Dickbutt already taken?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

All your base am belong to me.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Reggie get

 

[wild wild rice]

Did it, but I'm also confused about the number of names and logins I have for Nintendo devices. I guess the NNID is going away?
