  Losing access to your Nintendo account can be frustrating, especially if you rely on Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication. But don't worry, there are steps you can take to regain access. First, go to the Nintendo account recovery page and select the 'I forgot my password' option. Follow the instructions to reset your password. Once you have reset your password, you will need to contact Nintendo support to disable two-factor authentication on your account. They will guide you through the process of verifying your identity and removing the Google Authenticator from your account. After that, you should be able to regain access to your Nintendo account.
