You can’t register a Nintendo Network ID with the word “Nintendo”

Many of you probably know at this point that when making a Nintendo Network ID, the account must consist of at least six characters. It also can’t exceed sixteen characters.

But there’s another limitation in place that you may (or may not) be aware of – the Nintendo Network ID you create can’t have the word “Nintendo” in it. We have no idea why this is so, but it is what it is!
