Template:Service Infobox Nintendo Account is Nintendo's cross-platform account system, meant to unify all Nintendo services. While registration for the Nintendo Account service was launched in Japan in December 2015, it did not launch for the rest of the world until February 2016[1].

Users can create a Nintendo Account from scratch, or sign in using an existing Google+, Facebook, or Twitter account, or an existing Nintendo Network ID, all of which which can also be linked afterward. User accounts will automatically be tied to the My Nintendo rewards program, and unlike Nintendo Network IDs are not tied to any particular device.

Eventually, this account service will allow players to store data via cloud storage, and receive benefits at places such as theme parks[2].
