A cursory googling yielded this:

http://nintendowire.com/news/2016/12/01/nintendo-website-updates-new-look-features/

This is probably when I actually set my User ID. So yeah, accounts are a year ago, but the User ID bit still isn't new. I feel like I found out about this on GAF back in December too.

[Edit] Yep, here we go:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1321163

That's when I added my seven-month-old daughter as a child account, too. A bit early I'm sure, but doesn't hurt!

 

[Kouriozan]

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?

You can log in with anything you linked to your Nintendo Account, include user ID/NNID/Facebook/etc.

 

[Easy_D]

Good. Took Easy_D as User ID. Now I own it on all Nintendo services, muahahaha.

Why did it turn all lowercase though? Thought it was taken first because I saw red text pop up but then it updated and the id is now mine

 

[NickMitch]

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

Same here...I suspect some regional bullshit going on.

 

[Patrick S.]

This is being hammered, right? I was registering an ID for my 3DS but the confirmation email doesn't come through.

 

[Zedox]

I hate that it needs 6 characters. Grr. Got my name tho.
"zedox." yep...I added a "."

 

[Plum]

"plumonswitch"

"nintendoplum"

"plum12345"

This is difficult.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

No capital letters, requires 6 characters minimum... oh Nintendo...

 

[Dee Dee]

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

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

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

Thanks guys.
But.
I really like my password.
Hm.

 

[AGoodODST]

Anyone else waiting for the verification email? Taking ages.

 

[LordKano]

Thanks guys.
But.
I really like my password.
Hm.

You can just type the same, it will work.

 

[Phu]

No caps is a little lame...

Grabbed ned_ballad (as I usually do)

 

[Resistance100]

"plumonswitch"

"nintendoplum"

[BumRush]

Fuck...I wasn't able to get AlexFl--

Was able to make mine. Not like anyone was gonna take it anyway.

Oh...

 

[Kaibutsu]

forever malrock

 

[Ryoukai]

When playing games online, is the display name our nickname?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Nice. You can login with either your e-mail or user ID.

 

[lt519]

"plumonswitch"

"nintendoplum"

"plum12345"

This is difficult.

[KHlover]

Thanks guys.
But.
I really like my password.
Hm.

You can just set the same one again. I did that. Really confusing the way it is set up tho.

Anyone else waiting for the verification email? Taking ages.

Was instant for me, not even in the spam folder. Hmm

 

[Fliesen]

Thanks guys.
But.
I really like my password.
Hm.

can't you just re-enter the same password OR just change it, set your User ID and then change it back to the password you like?

 

[Maintenance]

Anyone else waiting for the verification email? Taking ages.

Ask for another, mine did not arrive the first time.

 

[Patrick S.]

No capital letters, requires 6 characters minimum... oh Nintendo...

Here, I -have- to use a capital letter or other symbol. Yeah, Nintendo.

 

[Mediking]

Already got a NNID and a Nintendo Account..... so I don't think I need to do this.... I think..

 

[calc84maniac]

Can you use underscores?

 

[DavidDesu]

Never got my verification action email then hit the resend verification button and got an error message. Yay. This better not end up in one of those username locked occurrences..

 

[linkboy]

Claimed mine.

linkboy it is.

 

[JRBechard]

 

[Resistance100]

You might have to. I did

 

[L Thammy]

Who's going to take one for the team and claim buttsmasher

 

[Plum]

Go old school. xXplumXx420noscope.

No capital letters I'm afraid, the dream is dead.

DoublePlum

I like it, but if this is all people see in games it won't make sense.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

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

Same here. When I click set ID all it does is ask me to reset my password. Huh.

 

[nikos]

Six characters FTL. Can't use my name. Had to add a period at the end of it, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

 

[:Motorbass]

thanks guys!

 

[lt519]

Already got a NNID and a Nintendo Account..... so I don't think I need to do this.... I think..

I think you do. Nintendo went from no account system to like 30. jk, anyway its your User ID not related to your NNID and Nintendo Account.

 

[Bubble Walrus]

Phew. That was close.

 

[jon bones]

Already got a NNID and a Nintendo Account..... so I don't think I need to do this.... I think..

you do

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Can you use underscores?

You can.

You are also free to try as many as you like, but you can't take one already taken.

---

Between tshadowknight and the_shadow_knight I like the look of the first one better.

 

[digitalrelic]

Cool. digitalrelic it is.

 

[Joey Ravn]

Sorry to all the joeyravns out there, but I got "joeyravn" back when Miitomo launched

 

[Ansatz]

Anyone else waiting for the verification email? Taking ages.

Yep, I'm stuck waiting for the email. I clicked resend code a couple of times now as well

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

My userid is "mydong"

 

[MakeMeFeelAlive]

Fyi, there's a limit of 10 characters. I couldn't use my regular ID. :-/

 

[SmokedMeat]

Is there any reason why I might want to link my account with Google/Facebook/Twiier?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

"plumonswitch"

"nintendoplum"

"plum12345"

This is difficult.

[Spyder_Monkey]

Fuck

You could always change it to faintcolt388301

Yup, I could just re-enter my old password. Perfect!

Thanks everyone!

!!!! Just did it.... I'm.... Mediking....

 

[JaseC]

That's strange. I registered grrimafridge back when the site went live, which is 12.

 

[NYR]

I have no fucking idea what the difference between this and Nintendo Network ID. I bought a Wii U at launch - does this mean I lost this name now?

If so, Nintendo fucking up as usual.
