Remember how I mentioned that these old eyes have a hard time with the smaller screen of the standard-size New Nintendo 3DS<\/a>? Well, imagine how excited I was when a New Nintendo 3DS XL Galaxy Style<\/a> system showed up on my doorstep! It\u2019s so pretty! Plus, it features larger screens and the size feels so much better in adult-size hands. You can bet that I set that baby up right away! Of course, I made sure I added my Nintendo Network ID (NNID) info too.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Network is Nintendo\u2019s online service for 3DS and Wii U. Setting up a free account on your system, known as a Nintendo Network ID, gives access to games, demos, discounts, and more. The same ID allows you to use the same Nintendo eShop wallet on your 3DS and Wii U. You can even watch content from YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus (you need to have a paid subscription to watch the latter two) on the Nintendo 3DS. If you have additional 3DS units, you will have to create a new Nintendo Network ID on each.<\/p>\n
