Set up Nintendo Network ID on the 2DS / 3DS

We'll show you how to register or set up the Nintendo Network ID on your Nintendo 2DS or 3DS.

Register Nintendo Network ID on the 2DS or 3DS - Here's how

If you don't have a Nintendo Network ID, you can quickly set one up on your Nintendo 2DS or 3DS. Alternatively, you can also register an existing account:

1. First open the system settings and select "Nintendo Network ID settings" in the upper part of the screen.
2. Now you can choose: "Create new ID" or "Link existing ID". Tap the latter if you already have an ID and use it on the Wii or Wii U, for example.
3. If you create a new ID, you must select your user (Mii) and then fill in the required fields.
