Is it possible to reuse 3DS nintendo account on a Switch? Is there any benefit in doing so? - Pink Nintendo 3ds

I already have a Nintendo account created on a 3DS. When adding a new user on a Switch, I have a choice between logging into an existing account or creating a new one.

Will I be able to use the account I have created on a 3DS with a Switch? If yes, what will be carried over from 3DS to the Switch? Or is it just that I will have the same username and password on both systems, but apart from that the accounts will be separate?

Can you use the same Nintendo Account for 3DS and Switch?

Merging the funds between a Nintendo Account and NNID will allow you to share your Nintendo eShop balance between your Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS family systems, and the online Game Store. Once the funds are combined, the balance will be shared for as long as the NNID and Nintendo Account are linked together.

Can you transfer 3DS data to Switch?

You can link your Nintendo Account to multiple Nintendo Switch consoles and play your games on any of them using your Nintendo Account. Only one of the consoles can act as the primary console. On the primary console, any other users can play the games you downloaded with your Nintendo Account.

What happens if I put my Nintendo Account on another Switch?

You can only register a single Nintendo Network ID to each Nintendo 3DS system. It is not possible to register multiple Nintendo Network IDs on a single system. A Nintendo Network ID registered on a Nintendo 3DS system cannot be registered to another Nintendo 3DS system.
