If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account yet, now’s the perfect time to get started—it’s free! By creating an account, not only do you gain access to a plethora of gaming experiences, but you’re also invited to join the My Nintendo rewards program. This nifty program lets you rack up points whenever you buy eligible games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your phone or tablet, or simply log into various Nintendo services, such as the eShop itself.
Need guidance on how to purchase downloadable games? The official Nintendo website has you covered with all the details you need. Plus, if you’re looking for more downloadable titles, our Nintendo eShop website is packed with fantastic content waiting to be explored.
Before you jump in, keep in mind a few important notes: Always check the Nintendo eShop or individual game pages for the most current pricing. To download demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch, a Nintendo Account registration is required—terms and conditions apply.
Purchasing and downloading games or demos from the Nintendo eShop via our official site requires linking your account to your Nintendo Switch console. Make sure your console is set as the active one for downloads by accessing the Nintendo eShop on it at least once. For those who love the convenience of automatic downloads, ensure your system is updated, connected to the internet, and has sufficient storage for your new games. For a deeper dive into these processes, our Support section is ready to help. Any purchases or demo activations via the Nintendo website are seamlessly processed through the eShop.
