Might be a dumb question but where do you actually create an Online ID? This is my first Nintendo console in a while so I do not currently have an Online ID
I obviously created an account here https://accounts.nintendo.com but all that gave me was a Nickname that was not really unique I am sure not unique enough to be the only person with it.
I seen a story about choose your Online ID now, this was an early March story and the instructions just tell me to edit my profile on accounts.nintendo.com but I dont have an Online ID line, I have a Sign-in ID line but that just looks like a short cut for signing in instead of using my full email address
@ValhallaOutcast Yeah, you've done it right; the 'Sign-In ID' is your unique ID (like a GamerTag), your 'Nickname' will be your online display name - eg. my ID is NaviAndMii - but, if you play an online game with me, my name will be displayed as TomCat★ (my Nickname)
@ValhallaOutcast I'm pretty sure both can be changed - obviously, your ID can only be changed to something that isn't already taken - but you can change your Nickname to whatever you want, whenever you want, as often as you want! ID can only be changed on the website - Nickname can be changed on the website and the Switch console itself
Not sure why it'd suggest you don't share your ID...? (Nintendo have never fully grasped the idea of a GamerTag!)
...but, yeah, it'd be possible to have to have 2 (or more) people with the same Nickname in the same lobby - that's why I decided to go for something other than just plain ol' 'Tom'
