If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account just yet, it’s definitely time to consider it. Head over to the Nintendo site and sign up at no cost. Having this account unlocks a whole range of benefits – not only can you earn points through the My Nintendo rewards program when you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, but you also gain points from using Nintendo apps or even just signing into various Nintendo services.
For anyone looking to purchase downloadable games, the official Nintendo website offers a great resource. You can explore a wealth of downloadable content directly on the Nintendo eShop as well. Keep in mind that pricing details are updated regularly, so it’s a good idea to check either the eShop or the game pages for the most current information.
To download demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch, you’ll need a Nintendo Account—you can’t skip that step. There are some terms and conditions to keep an eye on, too.
If you’re planning to buy downloadable games or try out demos and free software from the Nintendo eShop through the official website, you’ll need a Nintendo Account linked to your Switch. Make sure your console is registered as the active device for downloads by visiting the Nintendo eShop on it at least once. For automatic downloads, ensure your system’s software is updated, your console stays connected to the internet with automatic downloads turned on, and you’ve got enough storage space. For further details, check out our Support section. Remember, purchases or demo activations via the Nintendo website are handled through the eShop.
