Nintendo really wants to make sure that Switch owners know they'll be able to use their Nintendo Accounts on the Switch 2.
Much of Nintendo's success has resulted from the company going against the grain, but there is one area where it desperately needs to catch up with its competitors: Online infrastructure. While PlayStation and Xbox owners have used the same PlayStation Network or Xbox Live account for multiple generations, Nintendo has never had one consistent online service. That's finally going to change when the Switch 2 launches in 2024.
But one thing we've done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account. In the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system. Creating the Nintendo Account will allow us to communicate with our players if and when we make a transition to a new platform, to help ease that process or transition. Our goal is to minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another.
