      • WARNING*** CAN NOT LINK ACCOUNT WITH CLUB NINTENDO AS IT HAS SHUT DOWN SADLY.

Your Nintendo eShop purchases can be recorded by linking your Club Nintendo account with your Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL or 2DS system. By doing this, you can earn coins and take surveys on your digital downloads and purchases.

To connect your Club Nintendo Account, you will need to be connected to the internet, have a Club Nintendo Account and be connected to a Nintendo Network ID. If you do not have a Club Nintendo Account, visit https://club.nintendo.com.

Step 1

Go to the Nintendo eShop by tapping the Nintendo eShop application from the HOME Menu. Scroll all the way to the left and tap the "Settings/Other" button.

Step 2

From here, scroll down to the "Club Nintendo Account" button and tap it.

Step 3

Enter your Club Nintendo username and password in the forms. Once you've got it all typed in, tap the "Link" button to the bottom right of the touchscreen.

NOTE: Check your login information to check if it's entered correctly. If you're having troubled logging in after several attempts, visit https://club.nintendo.com for help and information.

If you've entered your login information correctly, you will be notified that your account has been succesfully linked.
