Creating Or Linking A Nintendo Network Id; Internet Settings; Required Items For Internet Connection - Nintendo 2DS XL JAN-001 Operation Manual

Creating or Linking a Nintendo Network ID

There are two methods:
•
Create a new Nintendo Network ID.
•
Use an ID already linked to a Wii U console.
If you own a Wii U console...
You can link the existing ID from your Wii U console to
this system. Doing so allows you to share your existing
Nintendo eShop funds between devices, and to post to
Miiverse as the same user.
Please be aware that if you create a new Nintendo Network ID on your system, you will not be able to combine or share Nintendo eShop
funds linked to the existing Nintendo Network ID on your Wii U console.
