If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account yet, now’s a great time to do it. It’s completely free to join, and you’ll unlock benefits like the My Nintendo rewards program. With these rewards, you can collect points every time you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your smartphone, or even just by logging into various Nintendo services like the eShop itself.
Curious about getting your hands on download games? You’ll find all you need to know on Nintendo’s official website. And if you’re in the mood to explore some fantastic downloadable content, make sure to swing by our Nintendo eShop website for more options.
When it comes to pricing, always check the Nintendo eShop or game pages for the most current information. Just a heads-up, you will need a Nintendo Account to download any demos from the eShop on your Nintendo Switch. Make sure to go through the terms and conditions as they apply.
To purchase download games or get demos and free software from the eShop through the official website, your Nintendo Account needs to be linked to your Switch console. The console has to be registered as the active one for downloads. This means you’ll want to visit the eShop on the device you plan to use at least once. For downloads to happen automatically, your system should stay updated, connected to the internet with automatic downloads turned on, and have enough storage. If you have more questions, our Support section has all the answers. Keep in mind, any purchases or demo downloads you trigger via the Nintendo website will be processed through the Nintendo eShop.
