Thinking about diving into the Nintendo universe but don’t have an account yet? It’s easy to get started—all you have to do is sign up for free. Once you’re set up with a Nintendo Account, you’ll unlock the perks of the My Nintendo rewards program. This means you can earn points every time you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your phone or tablet, or even just by logging into Nintendo services like Nintendo eShop.
Curious about buying downloadable games? Head over to the official Nintendo website for more details. Also, make sure to check out our Nintendo eShop website to discover more fantastic downloadable content that’s available.
Keep in mind, for the latest pricing info, it’s a good idea to check either the Nintendo eShop or the specific game pages directly.
To download demos from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need a registered Nintendo Account. Of course, terms and conditions apply.
If you’re planning to purchase downloaded games or want to snag demos and free software from the eShop on the official website, you’ll need a Nintendo Account linked to your Switch console. Don’t forget to ensure your console is set as the active one for downloads by visiting the Nintendo eShop on that device at least once. For the downloads to happen automatically, your system must be updated, connected to the internet with automatic downloads enabled, and have enough space to complete the download. If you need more information, our Support section has you covered. Note that purchases made or demo downloads started through the Nintendo website are handled via the Nintendo eShop.
