How To Add People To Nintendo Family Plan

Okay, so you've got a Nintendo Family Plan. Congrats! Think of it like having a magical portal that lets everyone in your chosen circle play together, online, in glorious, lag-free (hopefully!) harmony.

But now comes the slightly less magical, but equally important, task: adding people. Don't worry; it's not like performing a complicated wizard spell. It's more like… inviting people to a pizza party. A digital, pixelated pizza party, where the pizza is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

First Stop: The Nintendo Account Mothership

Head over to the Nintendo Account website. Think of this as mission control. You, as the Family Plan overlord (officially the "administrator"), need to log in here.

This is where the responsibility rests. You're like the captain of a very quirky, very digital, family spaceship.

Family Group Settings: Where the Magic Happens

Once you're in, find the "Family Group" settings. It's usually buried somewhere under your profile. Poke around; it's like a digital Easter egg hunt.

This is where you'll see everyone currently enjoying your digital largesse. Or, more likely, a screen begging you to add some friends.

The Invitation Dance

Here comes the fun part! Click the button that says something like "Add Member." You'll get two options. Choose "Invite to Family Group."

Now, you get to type in their email address. Make sure it’s the one connected to their Nintendo Account, or else you'll be sending an invite to a random person who might be very confused (and possibly delighted).

Imagine the awkward conversation: "Hey, did you get my invite to join my Nintendo Family Plan?" "Uh… I sell insurance."

The Waiting Game (and Gentle Nudging)

Once you've sent the invite, it's out of your hands. They need to accept the invitation. This is where the gentle nudging comes in.

Send a text. Send a meme. Stand outside their window with a sign that says, "Accept My Nintendo Invite! I Have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!" (Okay, maybe don't do that last one.)

Sometimes, people miss these things. It's not personal. They're probably just battling Bowser in their heads.

Success! (Hopefully)

If all goes according to plan, they’ll accept, and their little Nintendo Account icon will pop up in your Family Group.

Congratulations! You've successfully expanded your digital empire. You are now officially a benevolent dictator of online gaming joy.

Prepare for endless rounds of Animal Crossing island visits and frantic battles in Splatoon 3. May your friendships be strong and your internet connection even stronger!

A Word of Warning (Just Kidding... Mostly)

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You're the administrator. You're in charge. You decide who gets the sweet, sweet nectar of online multiplayer.

Use this power wisely. (And maybe don't kick your little brother off the plan just because he beat you in Mario Kart… again.)

Now go forth, and spread the Nintendo love! Happy gaming!
