If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account yet, now’s a great time to get one. Signing up is free, and it opens the door to the My Nintendo rewards program. By having an account, you’ll earn points with every eligible digital game purchase from the Nintendo eShop. Plus, using Nintendo apps on your smart device or simply logging into Nintendo services like the eShop can also add to your points pile.
To get more familiar with how to buy download games, head over to the official Nintendo website. And if you’re looking to explore even more download options, check out what’s on offer at the Nintendo eShop website.
Make sure to look at the Nintendo eShop or game pages if you’re curious about the current pricing of games. Also, remember that downloading demos from the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch requires a Nintendo Account, and there are some terms and conditions you’ll need to follow.
To purchase download games or get demos and free software through the Nintendo eShop on the official site, your Nintendo Account should be linked to your Switch console. Ensure your console is the designated active device for downloads by visiting the Nintendo eShop from the console you want to use at least once. For automatic downloads, make sure your system is updated, connected to the internet, and has automatic downloads switched on, along with enough storage space for the new content. For further details, visit our support section. Keep in mind all purchases and demo activations done through the Nintendo website are processed via the Nintendo eShop.
