Create a new Nintendo Network ID

I'm not quite happy with my NNID I registered initially, and I want to change it. I'm planning to register a new NNID user, unlink current user from Nintendo Club, link new user to Nintendo Club. As far as I know I still will have access to all purchases I've made using it, while old user will be registered on the system.

Is there some other potential problems I'm missing?
