How to Change Your Nintendo eShop Account on 3DS
Last updated
Curious about how to swap out your Nintendo eShop account on your 3DS? You’ve come to the right spot!
Wondering if there’s a way to switch up which Nintendo eShop account you’re using on your 3DS? Let’s dive into that question!
Steps to Switch Your Nintendo eShop Account on 3DS
To change your Nintendo eShop account on a 3DS, you actually need to create a whole new profile on your device. Nintendo designed the 3DS so that each device is linked to a single eShop account.
If you’re set on using a different account, the first step is to perform a system format. This will wipe all the data on your 3DS and let you start fresh with a new account. Remember, backing up any important games or data is crucial because this process erases everything.
Why Change Your eShop Account?
You might want to switch accounts to access different regional game stores or share the device among family members with their own accounts. The Nintendo eShop offers various games and content based on your region, so changing accounts could open up a whole new selection of games for you.
However, keep in mind that formatting your 3DS to change accounts is a big move. Ensure you’ve backed up all essential data before taking this step.
