Nintendo removing some small Facebook and Twitter functionality from Nintendo Accounts, discontinuing 3DS and Wii U Image Share services

Nintendo has announced a couple of small changes they’re making in regards to sign-in options for Nintendo Accounts. Namely, they’re removing the ability to sign in to said Nintendo accounts through a linked Facebook or Twitter account. Additionally, it will no longer be possible to earn My Nintendo points through missions that require linking a Nintendo Account to a Facebook or Twitter one.
It’s unclear what the reason for these changes is, but it ultimately shouldn’t have a huge impact, as you’ll still be able to be sign in normally using your Nintendo Account information itself. You’ll also still be able to use a linked Google or Apple account to sign in as well.

Exploit in Switch 5.0 firmware update lets you access Twitter & Facebook feeds on your Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The latest Switch firmware update, 5.0, has just been released. Among other things, it expanded the friend suggestion feature, now letting you add friends from Facebook and Twitter if you link your Nintendo Account to your account on these social media platforms. However, an exploit lets you do more than that – it lets you access your actual feeds on both platforms.
This exploit was found by user PariahMentality on Twitter and reported by GameXplain in their latest video. When going through the steps to link your Nintendo Account to your Facebook or Twitter account, you will eventually be taken to a page where you have to agree to authorize an app called “Nintendo Switch Friends” to use your Facebook or Twitter account. Instead of clicking on agree, click on the Facebook or Twitter icon on that page, and it will take you to your Facebook or Twitter feed – specifically, the mobile browser version of them. You can then use pretty much all of the features of the respective sites. This is all happening using the Switch’s internal internet browser, which is also normally unaccessible through regular means.
It’s possible that Nintendo will release a patch soon that prevents this exploit, so if you want to try it out, better do it quickly.
