I made a pretendo account and connected the PNID but my device says it’s already taken

I’m new here, and I made my Pretendo account and all that basic stuff, but when I put in my PNID I was shown that it’s already been taken, so I changed the PNID (old one was Nate_MK8, new one is Nate_MK8U) will I need to make another pretendo account now? (I’m stupidly dumb when it comes to setting this stuff up, it’s my first time)

I do have the dns set up correctly since I can access Mk8 servers, I’ve also been sent a verification code for the Nate_MK8U PNID

Hello.

By posting on this Forum, you have a PNID: “Nate_MK8”.

However, is this the same as your NNID? The PNID and NNID cannot be the same.

Nope, my NNID is NatetheRacer (has been since 2014)

Alright. I see you’re using SSSL, which can be finnicky.

Both “Nate_MK8” and “Nate_MK8U” PNIDs exist.

What are you trying to do? Is either one of these on your Wii U yet?

I got Nate_MK8U to work, Nate_MK8 would just not register at all, I don’t have my Wii U with me since it’s at my grandparents rn :confused:

I was also just checking if I would have to make a new pretendo account on the website for the Nate_MK8U PNID

Both already exist.

You’re signed into “Nake_MK8” right now.

By making a PNID on the Wii U, it makes an account on the Website and Forum
