It's not a bad way to create a barrier to griefers. Nintendo's market is mainly children, and they don't want random assholes creating accounts to troll kids.

If Nintendo calls me, we’re gonna have words about that Wii Zelda game.

Kind of annoying, but it was locked behind a subscription paywall anyway, so not a big leap.

I'm all the way out on subscribing, so already not a feature I planned to use.
