So I have a question: How do I play on, or do something on, online with the Nintendo switch? I don't know how to enable it. For example, on MK8 Deluxe, When I try to go online, it says I need to log into a nintendo account. But isn't that what I used to go into the game in the fist place? I don't understand it.

@Wintermelon43 On your Switch you have User profiles, but to play online you'll need to link your user profile to a Nintendo Account (similar to NNID from days past). You can setup a Nintendo Account from your Switch or on a PC. Google it if you can't find it in the settings on your Switch.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

I don't understand how to do any of that..... And do I use my original NNID, or a new one?

I'm afraid you win no prizes for initiative...

Ignoring the 'featured' result in that google search, the top result was actually a Nintendo web page: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Nintendo-Account/Account-R...

... where it states:

You can create a Nintendo Account from scratch using an email address, or you can create a Nintendo Account using your Nintendo Network ID

Well, now I'm even more confused. I thought those were the same thing? Which one am I supposed to be using?
