How do you switch users?

Hi,

I have an account signed up with NIntendo Network, which I use for battling on Smash Wii U online. That's all good and well...but what if my brother or sister was wants to battle online too? I don't want their battles to alter my stats. Is there a way for them to have their own account in online battles?

If not...Nintendo should add this. You can't even have seperate save files in general. Even if you play user different Miis on the Wii U Menu, it all converges to the same data.

I think if you each set up your own name/profile within Smash Bros. itself the win-loss stats are viewable by user name. If that helps. You just have to make sure to pick your tag each time.

I didn't see an option for that. Where is it?

Thank so much GameAngel64

Luckily all data is shared throughout all accounts. Just make them a separate account, not linked via nnid if you wish. That is the only option that I see unfortunately.

They can also create a separate profile on the Wii U and choose that. Then they'll be able to choose their own profile as soon as the Wii U is booted up and the data will be exclusive to that profile.

I'm just talking about where you set up a tag for your name that floats over your character's head. The same name tag that lets you set up custom controls. I think you set it up by clicking where it says "Player 1" (or whichever player number) beneath your character's portrait, or otherwise on the custom control screen. Then, if you go to the online mode, and go to Records, you will see that one of the tabs at the top lets you sort records by player name, and there you can review the records by name tag. My husband and I share a Wii U/game as well, and this is how I can review my win/loss records without mixing with his. You just have to make sure that each match you play online is under your name tag. If you forget to set your tag or don't use one, it will make your record screen less accurate.
