    • Nickname

      Please select a Nickname that allows you to easily identify the account owner. This does not need to be your real name. We will never release this information to anyone without your permission.

      We suggest registering your account with an email address that you will continue to use so that you can receive notifications and identity verification codes. If you lose access to the email account that you registered with, you will no longer be able to change the email address associated with your Nintendo Account.

    • Date of Birth

      The date of birth that you enter at the time of account registration cannot be changed later. If the date of birth that you enter is incorrect, some services and features may be unavailable to you. Please double check that this information is correct before entering it.
