Nintendo has been known for its strict policies when it comes to account deletion. In the past, Nintendo has refused to delete inactive accounts, citing the policy as a way to keep players engaged and ensure that they are not playing games that are no longer worth their time. However, recent reports suggest that Nintendo may be changing its stance on this policy. According to a report from Japanese website 4Gamer, Nintendo is considering deleting inactive accounts if they do not meet certain criteria. These criteria include being inactive for more than six months, having no active items in their account, or having a negative review score. If these conditions are met, an account can still be deleted but with a warning instead of being permanently deleted. This change in policy could mean that Nintendo is changing its mind about deleting inactive accounts altogether. It is possible that this change was made in order to appease players who have had trouble getting their games back up and running after being deleted by Nintendo. However, it is also possible that this change was made in order to make sure that there are enough active users on the platform so that games can be played without fear of being lost forever.
