When you’re looking to snag the latest games, remember to check Nintendo eShop or individual game pages for the most current price information. To download demos on the Nintendo Switch via the eShop, you’ll need to have a Nintendo Account—be sure to check the terms and conditions as well.
To buy downloadable games, or to get demos and free software directly from the Nintendo eShop website, your Nintendo Account must be linked to your Switch console. This requires designating your console as the primary device for downloads by logging into the eShop on that console at least once. For a seamless experience, make sure your system is updated, connected to the internet, and has automatic downloads turned on with sufficient storage space. For more in-depth guidance, check out the Support section. Keep in mind, purchases and demo downloads initiated through the Nintendo website are processed straight through Nintendo eShop.
