Nintendo Account - Family Group option now available

Starting May 15, 2018, it will be possible to create a Nintendo Account Family Group via your Nintendo Account settings. One Nintendo Account can create a family group and up to 7 other Nintendo Account holders can join it; all members of the group will have access to Nintendo Switch Online family membership.

Just as Nintendo stated recently, the Family Group option is now available for your Nintendo Account. You can set up your details at this link. Here's some tidbits about the new option.

- to invite someone to a Family Group, all you need is their email address
- that other person does need their own Nintendo Account,
- select someone to be the group’s admin (by default, it’s the person who created the group)
- you can also remove members (something only the admin can do)
- child accounts cannot be removed
- you can have up to 8 people in your group, including the Admin and any associated Child Accounts
- Child Accounts created before May 15th are automatically added to your Family Group
- you cannot be part of more than one Family Group, at least not with the same account
- anyone that’s part of the Family Group can subscribe to the Family Membership
- when someone subscribes to the Family Membership, everyone else in the group automatically benefits from it
- set specified members as Guardian (for Parental Controls)
- only members who are at least 18 years old can become one
- members of a Family Group do not share Nintendo eShop funds, purchase history, or My Nintendo Points
- when a member becomes a Guardian, they can manage Parental Controls for any Child Account in the group
- they cannot do so for accounts of other Guardians or the Admin
- all emails addressed to the Child Account (like Nintendo eShop emails) will only reach the person who creates it
