If you’re yet to set up a Nintendo Account, now’s a great time to do so. Signing up is completely free, and doing so unlocks a world of opportunities. Not only do you gain access to My Nintendo rewards where you can rack up points every time you purchase eligible digital games from Nintendo eShop, but you can also earn just by using Nintendo apps on your smart devices or even simply by logging into Nintendo services like the eShop.
For detailed guidelines on purchasing download games, head over to the official Nintendo website. And if you’re on the hunt for amazing downloadable content, the Nintendo eShop website is your best bet.
Keep in mind that when checking the Nintendo eShop or specific game pages, you’ll find the most current pricing.
Downloading demos from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch requires a Nintendo Account, and of course, terms and conditions will apply.
To purchase or download games, demos, or free software via the Nintendo eShop on the official website, it’s important to have your Nintendo Account linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Make sure your console is registered as the active one for downloads, which involves visiting the eShop on your device at least once. For a smoother experience with automatic downloads, your system should be up-to-date, connected to the internet, and have automatic downloads enabled, along with sufficient storage. For more information, check out our Support section. Remember, any purchases or demo activations done through the Nintendo website are processed through Nintendo eShop.
