Hi everyone! I had a question that I wanted to ask about the 3ds eshop. I dont have a 3ds at the moment with me but wanted to make purchases on the 3ds eshop. I know that it is possible to buy games on the nintendo website by logging into your account. But because I dont have my 3ds with me I wanted to ask if it is possible to create a new NNID to register it to another nintendo account and make purchases from there. So is it possible to create a NNID without using a 3ds? I want to purchase games before the eshop closes so that when it closes I can just redownload the purchased games on the 3ds when I get my hand on it again. Thanks for the help in advance!

#

you cannot, using the site requires you have linked your NNID to a console first

#

else the purchase button won't appear

#

you must have the console to buy games for it

#

you need the NNID you have already linked to your 3DS< link that to a Nintendo account
