How to unlink my Nintendo ID from the 3DS?
My 3DS has some games downloaded. I want to make it stop using my current Nintendo ID when entering the store. I see two ways to do so:
- Factory reset: This is absurd.
- Delete the Nintendo ID, and destroy any games purchased by it: Are you kidding me?
What am I supposed to do? I just want to unlink my Nintendo ID from this device without losing anything.

Answer 2
I can confirm that you can use a nintendo id from another device, i did this with my 3ds because i had two accounts including my wii u because at the time i had forgotten the first one that i set up.
I ended up doing a factory reset on my 3ds and logging in with my newer wii u login which had the higher balance.
I hope this helps that at least you have an option, unfortunately you cant keep your games from the other account.
Answer 3
Call nintendo, I did. My 3ds broke and was so old a beat up it made no sense to try anD get it fixed after being run over by a car. I bought a new one and all they need is the serial number of both systems, verfication questions, and a list of what you've purchased digitally.
Answer 4
I've called Nintendo when my 3ds screen broke and got a new system. They linked my new serial number to my Nintendo network id then i was able to login on new system and redownloaded all my stuff from purchase history to the new system without any issues man.
