A quick note for beginners—downloading demos from Nintendo eShop on your Switch requires a registered Nintendo Account. Don’t forget that certain terms and conditions will apply.
If you’re planning to purchase downloadable games or snag demos and free software directly from the eShop website, ensure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Nintendo Switch console. It’s essential that your console is set as the active device for downloads. Simply visit the eShop on the console you want to use for downloads at least once to get this sorted out. To ensure a smooth and automatic download process, make sure your system is up-to-date, connected to the internet, and has automatic downloads switched on. Additionally, ensure there’s enough storage space to complete the download. For more support or information, check out our Support section. Remember, anything you buy or demos you activate through Nintendo’s site are funneled through the Nintendo eShop.
