Thinking of opening a Nintendo Account? It’s easy, free, and unlocks a world of benefits. Head over to the official Nintendo website to get started. With your Nintendo Account, you can dive into the My Nintendo rewards program, which lets you rack up points whenever you buy eligible digital games on the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your mobile device, or simply log into Nintendo services like the eShop.
Curious about buying downloadable games? You’ll find all the details on the Nintendo website. Plus, there’s a treasure trove of downloadable content waiting for you at our Nintendo eShop site.
Remember, to keep up to date with pricing, check the Nintendo eShop or visit individual game pages. If you’re looking to download demos on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need a Nintendo Account. Be mindful of the terms and conditions that apply.
To purchase download games, or to nab that demo or free software from the Nintendo eShop via the official website, ensure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Your console has to be set as the active one for downloads on your account. Simply visit the eShop on your device at least once to make this happen. For automatic downloads, your system needs to be connected to the internet, up-to-date, and have storage space available. Want more details? Check out our Support section. Keep in mind that any purchases or demo activations done through Nintendo’s website are processed through Nintendo eShop.
