It's precisely that. A system profile linked to your online account.

Nintendo Switch: new Firmware update out on Sept. 18th/19th (Ver. 6.0.0)
- Thread starter Lite_Agent
- Start date
This is the most likely explanation and I believe it should be added to OP so that people stop panicking / jumping to conclusions.
Ah, good. Then there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
IF I buy a new Switch in the future, I'll just move my new account to the new Switch.
I always assumed game saves is tied to a Nintendo account. Does the user have to create a Nintendo account before they can save?
No, for saving you only need a local profile which is just a name and a profile-icon, all offline.
Perhaps it's a way to stop users accessing other regions eshops to get cheap prices on games?
Because it's not a big deal. Normally other online platforms dont let you do this anyway. For example you can't disconnect your PSN ID from the account you use on PS4, though you can create an account on the PS4 that has no ties to your main Sony account.
This is just moving it closer to you having a single account you can log in anywhere with. And a single identity to be used across all third party games rather than letting someone troll and be a shit, have that account user banned but they can still create a new account and attach their Nintendo network ID to it.
Because that is impossible.
NNID are legacy accounts used only for 3DS and Wii U, you can ignore they exist.
Thanks. Been a long time since I unbox my Switch. The wait for 2019 is long..
As i understand, with this update the system becomes the regular jail of a console (good against piracy, bad for me, a tinkerer).
Buuuut torna will surely come before, so no update before i am forced to, and until then, i can continue porting what i am porting.
As for the rest of us, non tinkerers or multiplayers, i hope the update comes stable and performing well enough for our social activities adepts.
Have fun, and leave the hate behind.

Nintendo could definitely migrate or consolidate them completely with Nintendo accounts. They probably just didn't bother with it since the 3DS and Wii U is dead/dying anyway
Nintendo don't own Game Freak. As Game Freak also make games for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

They have. My NNID and Nintendo Accounts are consolidated for me as I can share and see the same funds across Switch, 3DS and Wii U.
The first person already said that, I meant the existence of NNID itself.
That would probably require a lot of effort on their website eshops, 3ds and wii firmware and eshops.
yes and like i said, they probably didn't do it because the 3ds and wii u is already past their time, so
OP
OP
Added this to the OP to clear things up a bit, since previous edit seemingly wasn't enough. Please point out any incorrect tidbit.
lol so much misinformation.
Pokémon is its own thing. The reason why TPC was created in the first place is to mange itself independently.
Game Freak, Creatures are NOT owned by Nintendo. TPC is 32% owned by Nintendo, but GF/Creatures have the majority.
Am I the only one who wants to see this ported to the Switch?Nintendo don't own Game Freak. As Game Freak also make games for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
(Oops, does that count as port begging? Sorry...)
You don't have a clue whats going on but use all this bad words? Try to inform yourself (hint f2p games don't require paid online).
What misinformation I said? I didn't say that Gamefreak and Creatures are owned by Nintendo but that they own the copyright of the franchise along Nintendo.
And yeah, it's 32%. That part I got wrong.

I didn't say that Nintendo owns Gamefreak. I said that Nintendo owns Pokémon along Gamefreak and Creatures.
If you're using three accounts with different emails on the switch for different countries will this change anything?
The big take away here is that the Switch's online service and the NES games aren't launching until nearly 11 PM Eastern tonight in the US.
They are literally putting this out at the last minute to hit that 9/18 launch date. Should we be worried?

They're not "putting it out at the last minute". They're putting it out at a set time worldwide and it happens to be the 18th in the US when that time happens, so they say it's launching on the 18th.
No. The update will release at the usual time Nintendo always releases updates.
The times in the OP are correct. The firmware update launches in about 8 hours and maintenance will end in about 11 hours (7 PM and 10 PM Central, respectively). This has been the plan for weeks.
I wouldn't hold my breath, it's mostly probably the Online system changes etc.
Expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised.
Cloud saves and a couple new avatars and some new controller icons. That's it as far as anyone knows
