Bug when creating PNID on the Wii U

[south rampart]

As it says in the error description, it means you're trying to either create a user whose username is already taken or you're trying to link a user whose username is already on the console

I don't know what you mean by "I had my PNID as an NNID", they are not interchangeable. A PNID cannot be used as a NNID

[slim steeple]

i had a NN account that had my PNID as NNID

And i was using that NN account

[south rampart]

Whats the username

Also are you trying to create the account again on the console?

[slim steeple]

yes

[south rampart]

Why?

That account exists, just login

[slim steeple]

oooh

[south rampart]

When you go to link an account it asks you if you have an account already. Just say yes and login

[slim steeple]

I was doing what the PNID setup said

[south rampart]

The setup guide states that once you have your PNID made you just need to login

[slim steeple]

oooh

I got in

lemme try it in MK8

[south rampart]

Happy to help

[slim steeple]

Did you pay for the servers?

[slim steeple]

no, splatoon servers are free

@south rampart Is he right?

[south rampart]

No

[slim steeple]

@slim steeple

Yes

[slim steeple]

nothing is free, what's that?

[south rampart]

MK8 is open to the public right now, as is the friends server for both the WiiU and 3DS

More things would be open, like Tipping Stars and such, but they rely heavily on Miiverse which is not out of beta testing atm

[slim steeple]

I really want to have miiverse good luck I'm with you
