    Nintendo Network ID Settings
    Register a Nintendo Network ID or change existing settings.
    When you register a Nintendo Network ID on your system, you will be able to post on Miiverse and share your Nintendo eShop history and account balance with the Wii U Nintendo eShop.
    • You will need a Nintendo Network ID to download demo games or other free content from Nintendo eShop.• Your Nintendo Network ID is not the same as your Club Nintendo Membership ID.• To register a Nintendo Network ID you will need a broadband internet connection (see page 44) and an email address.• The consent of a parent or guardian is required before children under the age of 13 are able to create a Nintendo Network ID. To provide this consent, you must follow the on-screen instructions for the “Parent/Guardian Confirmation” process.
    Precautions regarding the Nintendo Network ID
    • Once an ID is linked to your system, you will need to sign in with that ID in order to use Nintendo eShop. Any account activity and/or balance on your system at the time of the link will be merged with any account activity and/or balance already associated with your Nintendo Network ID.• An ID can only be linked to one system in the Nintendo 3DS family at a time. If you want to transfer an ID from one such system to another, you will need to move it via a system transfer (see page 55).– You cannot merge Nintendo Network IDs with one another. For that reason, you cannot consolidate software  purchases made using various IDs onto a single ID.– You cannot perform a system transfer to a system linked to a Nintendo Network ID. If you want to perform a system  transfer to such a system, you must first format the System Memory of that system (see page 61).• The list of friends associated with an ID is different from the Friend List associated with your Nintendo 2DS system. Additions and modifications to the list of friends associated with an ID can only be made on a linked Wii U system, and this list of friends can only be used by software that permits sign-in with a Nintendo Network ID.
      Registering your Nintendo Network ID
    Start setting up a Nintendo Network ID by tapping Nintendo Network ID Settings on the System Settings screen (see page 42).
    1 Tap either Link an Existing ID or Create a New ID 
    •  If you create a new ID on this device, you will not be able to combine your Nintendo eShop account activity and balance with that of any ID you are already using on a Wii U. If you want to link the ID you are currently using on a Wii U to this device, be sure to tap Link an Existing ID.
    •  Once you have successfully linked an ID, you will be asked to sign in with that ID when you make use of services that require one. If you forget your password, tap I Forgot at the sign-in screen and follow the instructions that are displayed.
    2 Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the process.

    IMPORTANT: To make sure that neither system turns off during the system transfer, we recommend that you either perform the transfer while the systems are charging or make sure the batteries are charged sufficiently before beginning. If the remaining battery life is low, you will not be able to perform a system transfer.
    • System Transfer uses both an Internet connection and local wireless communication between the two systems. Make sure both systems are placed in a location that provides a good environment for wireless communication.• Both systems must have wireless communications enabled before performing a transfer.• During the transfer, the system cannot be put into Sleep Mode. Do not turn the power off during a transfer.

    Precautions when using System Transfer
    IMPORTANT: All photos and audio data saved in System Memory on your Nintendo 2DS system will be deleted.If you don’t want this data to be deleted, copy the photos and audio data to the SD Card before performing the transfer.
    NOTE: If you want to transfer photos saved on the SD Card of your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL, you must first copy them from the SD Card to System Memory.
    Precautions when transferring Nintendo DSiWare
    Only Nintendo DSiWare software programs will be transferred to your Nintendo 2DS system. The DSiWare save data will not be transferred. When you transfer DSiWare from your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system, both software and save data will be erased from the original system. Do not transfer Nintendo DSiWare unless you are willing to lose the save data associated with that DSiWare.
    NOTE: DSiWare will be saved in the System Memory of your Nintendo 2DS system. It cannot be transferred if there is insufficient space in the System Memory of your system. If necessary, go to Data Management under System Settings and copy previously saved DSiWare to the SD Card (see page 52), and then delete them from System Memory.
    If DSiWare has been deleted or copied to an SD Card...
    If you purchased a license for DSiWare and then deleted that DSiWare or copied it to an SD Card, you can still transfer it even though it is no longer saved on the system. In this case, system transfer does not save the software itself on the Nintendo 2DS system, but it does allow you to re-download the software from Nintendo eShop and play it on that system.
    * Once transferred, DSiWare can no longer be played on the original Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system.  If you want to play transferred DSiWare again on that system, you must use Nintendo DSi Points and purchase  the DSiWare licenses again.
    • You cannot transfer free DSiWare or DSiWare for which licenses are not sold on the Nintendo eShop. For more informa-tion on non-transferable DSiWare, please visit support.nintendo.com.
    • You cannot transfer Nintendo DSi Points™ or software that came included with your Nintendo DSi or  Nintendo DSi XL system.
    • You cannot transfer software if the same software already exists on your Nintendo 2DS system.
