If you're getting a Switch you'd best secure your online user ID sooner rather than later
|

It's only a week and a few days until the Switch is released unto the world, but according to TechRadar the Nintendo Account user ID registration has opened.

Plenty of people won't be too bothered by the possibility of losing their favourite username, but for those YouTube gamers or Twitch streamers who need it for business purposes, or for those who simply cannot deal with using anything else, you may want to hop on the band wagon, pronto.

For those with existing Nintendo IDs it's pretty straight forward. Just log into the Nintendo Account site and where a 'user info' section has been created you can pick your beloved ID.

If you haven't got a Nintendo ID at all, you'd best make one before continuing on to the step above. And yes, you'll need one in order to play.
