You’ll need a Nintendo Account to grab demos from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, and, as always, terms and conditions are part and parcel of the deal.
If you plan on purchasing or downloading demos and free software directly from the official website, make sure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Switch console. Your console must be set as the active one for downloads, which just means visiting the Nintendo eShop from the device you wish to use, at least once. For seamless downloads, ensure your system’s software is up-to-date, connected to the internet, and has automatic downloads turned on, along with enough storage space. For further details, check out our Support section. Remember, any purchases or demo downloads kicked off from the Nintendo site are handled through Nintendo eShop.
