Nintendo will discontinue Google and Apple log-ins early next year, so you may want to update the way you sign into your account soon. Starting on January 26, 2027, it will no longer be possible to sign into your Nintendo account, or to create a new one, with Google and Apple as a log-in method. In addition, it is also ending the My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that rewards you for linking your Google with your Nintendo account.
