How To Add Someone To Nintendo Online Family Plan

So, you’ve decided to share the Nintendo Online love! Fantastic! Prepare for a surge of Mario Kart races and Animal Crossing visits. Let’s dive in.

The Heroic Head of Household

First, you're the head honcho. The Nintendo Account overlord. You're in charge. Feel the power!

Grab your trusty device. A smartphone, tablet, or computer will do. This isn't brain surgery, promise.

Log into your Nintendo Account website. You know, the one you probably forgot the password to, but eventually figured out. It's okay, we've all been there.

Finding the Family Section

Now, navigate to the "Family Group" section. It's usually buried somewhere in the settings. Think of it as a hidden level in a video game, but with slightly less fanfare.

Click on that sweet, sweet "Add Member" button. It's like inviting someone to your virtual birthday party, but with more digital mushrooms.

You have two choices! You can invite someone to join. Or create an account for a child. Choose wisely, young padawan.

The Invitation Tango

Inviting someone is easy! Pop in their email address. Make sure it's the right one. Imagine the chaos if you accidentally invited your dentist instead of your best friend! “Dr. Miller, ready for some online Splatoon?”

An email will be sent to their inbox. It's like sending a digital carrier pigeon, carrying a very important message about virtual fun.

They simply click the link. And BOOM! They're in.

The Child Account Caper

Creating an account for a child is a bit different. You'll need to provide some information. Don't worry, it's not like applying for a mortgage.

Enter their birthdate and other details. This helps Nintendo keep things safe and age-appropriate. Think of it as a digital bodyguard for your little gamer.

Choose a user name and password. This is a crucial step. Make sure it's something they can remember. Unless you want to be resetting it every five minutes.

The Acceptance Dance

Once the invitation is sent (or the child account is created), the invitee needs to accept. It’s like a virtual handshake, solidifying their membership in your Nintendo Online family.

They’ll need to follow the instructions in the email. It's usually just a matter of clicking a link and logging in.

And that’s it! They’re officially part of the family. Time to celebrate with a virtual pizza party!

The Aftermath: Chaos and Camaraderie

Now, be prepared for some good-natured competition. Arguments over who gets to play as Mario. Accusations of cheating in Mario Kart. It’s all part of the fun!

But amidst the chaos, there will be moments of pure joy. Shared victories, collaborative adventures, and bonding over all things Nintendo.

So go forth and build your Nintendo Online Family! May your races be thrilling and your adventures be epic!

Just remember: With great power comes great responsibility. Especially the responsibility of managing everyone's online subscriptions!
