You can now set up your User ID with Nintendo Account, this is replacing Nintendo Network.

No caps, 6 character minimum.

If you guys are having the email issue, I had that as well.

You have to link your password (that's the option under User ID) and then you will get a code for the password, and then you will be able to make your User ID once you make a password

Couldn't we already do this?

For me it keeps going to resetting password.

Wait, hasn't this been around for some time now...?

I'm thinking they're still having problems. Trying to use my NNID to set up this account and it is supposed to be sending me an email...but it's not. I'll wait.

Yup, mentioned it in the Nintendomination thread. The User ID option came out back in December.

Still a nice reminder.

Yeah, I remember doing this before, and clicking on the link, I'm already set. But also, yeah, a reminder is good.

Yep, did it last night.

Thank fucking god, I hate the name of my original NNID.
