The company just added a new addition of Nintendo Online Account's User ID  Potential sources stated that this User ID will be the one and only path for online identification for one's existence.

According to The Verge, it is not the old technique of identification via Nickname. Some experts and games' analysts are even claiming that this User ID will evolve all types of verification and identification systems of Nintendo Account set up into one and only route. It may seem to be little difficult at the first attempt, but if one has had already used an online Nintendo service before, then this new system will not be that much complicated to him/her. It is much alike Nintendo's Network ID which was previously seen in Nintendo branded consoles.

However, as per a report by Engadget, this new concept of User ID always drawn a permanent closure to Nintendo's earlier sort of identification source: Nintendo Network ID.
