#New 3ds serial number firmware how to#

There's another thread here somewhere also describing how to go about it but I just can't seem to find it. So how would I go about linking my NNID on my replacement console? Email clubnintendo and simply ask them to unlink my old 2DS by providing serial and original POP? According to the above mentioned info I won't be able to log into my new 2DS because according to 'Nintendo servers or whatever' the serial number of my old 2DS is still linked and there's nothing I can do from my side to unlink it. So let's say they decide to replace the 2DS rather than repair. Before sending it in I formatted the system to unlink the NNID (I don't have any eshop purchases but I do have a NNID account for Miiverse etc.) I however did NOT delete my NNID account and it's still fully active on my Wii U.

I just send in my 2DS because there's dust under the actual LCD. If you format the 3DS, you do have the option to add a new NNID to the console according to Nintendo's support pages.Ok just to confirm. If I am certain that I will not need to reactivate the same NNID on any other 3DS again, I can just go and do a system format and the NNID will be removed.īe warned, if you select the option to delete the NNID on your system and it's linked to your Wii U, it will wipe out the Wii U account also since it's actually all one account. If you do not unlink your NNID from your old 3DS, you will not be able to use it on any other 3DS in the future, since the NNID is linked to the console.

For that I was advised to contact Nintendo at and request from them to advise me on how to unlink the NNID. However, it does not unlink the NNID from the console. When formatting the your 3DS it will reset the console and remove the NNID from your 3DS. Contacted local Nintendo support line (Core Group) and was advised of the following:
