Nintendo Network ID Settings
Link a Nintendo Network ID or change existing settings.
Linking a Nintendo Network ID to your system allows you to partake in various activities, such as posting to Miiverse. If you link your ID to a Wii U™ console as well, you will be able to share your Nintendo eShop account between the two devices.
• You will need a Nintendo Network ID to download demo games or other free content from Nintendo eShop.• A Nintendo Network ID is not the same thing as a Club Nintendo Account.• To register a Nintendo Network ID you will need a broadband Internet connection (see page 46) and an e-mail address.• The consent of a parent or guardian is required before children under the age of 13 are able to create a Nintendo Network ID. To provide this consent, you must follow the on-screen instructions for the “Parent/Guardian Confirmation” process.
Precautions regarding the Nintendo Network ID
• Once an ID is linked to your system, you will need to sign in with that ID in order to use Nintendo eShop. Any account activity and/or balance on your system at the time of the link will be merged with any account activity and/or balance already associated with your Nintendo Network ID.• An ID can only be linked to one system in the Nintendo 3DS family at a time. If you want to transfer an ID from one such system to another, you will need to move it via a system transfer(see page 57).– You cannot merge Nintendo Network IDs with one another. For that reason, you cannot consolidate software  purchases made using various IDs onto a single ID.– You cannot perform a system transfer to a system linked to a Nintendo Network ID. If you want to perform a system  transfer to such a system, you must first format the System Memory of that system (see page 63).• The list of friends associated with an ID is different from the Friend List associated with your Nintendo 3DS XL system. Additions and modifications to the list of friends associated with an ID can only be made on a linked Wii U system, and this list of friends can only be used by software that permits sign-in with a Nintendo Network ID.
  Linking a Nintendo Network ID
To link a new or existing Nintendo Network ID, select Nintendo Network ID Settings in System Settings (see page 44).
 Tap either Link an Existing ID or Create a New ID
•  If you create a new ID on this device, you will not be able to combine your Nintendo eShop account activity and balance with that of any ID you are already using on a Wii U. If you want to link the ID you are currently using on a Wii U to this device, be sure to tap Link an Existing ID.
•  Once you have successfully linked an ID, you will be asked to sign in with that ID when you make use of services that require one. If you forget your password, tap I Forgot at the sign-in screen and follow the instructions that are displayed.
 
Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the process.
