PLEASE HELP! I live in Norway and I have a slight problem. My Nintendo Switch was stolen. I see that I may have to buy a new one, which is fine, but how do I unlink it from my Nintendo account so it doesn't get abused. I also have it linked to the Switch Parental Control app and could not find any way to unlink it from my main account from inside the app. But can unlink it from the app. I see I need to buy a new one but luckily all my purchases were downloaded. I don't have to buy all the games again do I? That's my biggest worry since I have over well over 150GB of downloaded games. But all my purchases are on my Nintendo account so if I don't have to buy them again, then I don't mind sitting thru the downloading time again. I know I also lose my saves but don't mind playing them thru again. Especially Zelda. Thanks for any help.
Yeah you just need to contact Nintendo and report it stolen. They'll deactivate the account on the system and you can redownload your games on a new device.
