Nintendo Account and Network ID service to end March 2024 | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Nintendo Account and Network ID service to end March 2024](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-account-and-network-id-service-to-end-march-2024.jpeg "Nintendo Account and Network ID service to end March 2024")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/nintendo-account-and-network-id-service-to-end-march-2024.jpeg)The day when the Nintendo service that lets users connect their current Nintendo accounts to their previous Nintendo Network IDs is coming to an end has been revealed by Nintendo.

After March 27, 2024, gamers won’t be able to connect their Nintendo Network IDs to a Nintendo Account, as stated on Twitter and in an accompanying support page. This change will take effect after the announcement. The primary objective of this service is to provide users with the ability to transfer any unused eShop credits from their Nintendo 3DS or Wii U consoles to their Nintendo Accounts. Additionally, users will be able to link any purchases they have made to the email address associated with their Nintendo Accounts. You may learn how to accomplish this by following the link to the help page that is provided here; [https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a\_id/22369/~/how-to-combine-nintendo-account-and-nintendo-network-id-funds](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22369/~/how-to-combine-nintendo-account-and-nintendo-network-id-funds)

It is quite probable that the utilization of Nintendo Network ID accounts will be phased out as a result of the closing of this service, which is also a part of the larger process of winding down support for the 3DS and WiiU gaming systems. Both of these legacy systems’ online stores have ceased taking payments as of March 27th, 2023, and are scheduled to be permanently shut down on the same day.
