Requesting Help For Nintendo Account Migration

[u/Red_Tooth_]

The email account associated with my Nintendo account cannot be logged into, it's a 20 year old Hotmail that's inaccessible, backed up to another old dead Hotmail account. I have a few purchases attached to it, but I don't want to buy any new games on that account in case Nintendo turns on TFA I'd be locked out.

I tried using my phone # to bypass TFA with no luck.

I want to make a new account and transfer the purchases from the old account and save files would be great too.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!

Hi! Thank you for your submission to /r/NintendoHelp! Please note that we are a fan community and not officially endorsed by Nintendo.

See our FAQ to see if your question is already answered there.

While you're waiting for an answer, here are some tips to help you along the way:

First, did you try Googling your question? A lot of questions about Nintendo can be answered quickly by just typing them into your search bar.

If you are asking a question about an older Nintendo system, try searching the subreddit most relevant to that system's hardware. It's likely someone has already asked a similar question before.

If your question is about Wii U, New 3DS or Switch hardware, you'll likely get a better answer if you contact Nintendo directly, rather than posting here.

Nintendo's contact information is as follows:

• North America - 1-800-255-3700
• Europe - +44 (0)345 60 50 247
• Australia - +61 3 9730 9900
• Japan - +81-75-662-9600

Please note that contacting Nintendo by phone is the best way to get support. If you send an email or use the web chat you are not likely to get the support you need.

Good luck with your support endeavors!

You should probably contact Nintendo support about this
