If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account yet, now’s a great time to do so. Signing up is completely free, and it opens the door to a world of benefits. With your Nintendo Account, you’ll gain access to the My Nintendo rewards program, allowing you to rack up points whenever you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your smart devices, or just log into various Nintendo services such as the eShop itself.
For more details on how to buy downloadable games, check out the official Nintendo website. It’s packed with all the information you need and has a treasure trove of downloadable content waiting for you over at the Nintendo eShop site.
Keep in mind that for the most up-to-date pricing, you’ll want to visit Nintendo eShop or the individual game pages. And remember, creating a Nintendo Account is essential if you’re planning to download demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch. Some terms and conditions will apply, of course.
To purchase games or nab demos and free software through the official Nintendo website, make sure your Nintendo Account is properly linked to your Switch. Your console must be registered as the primary device for downloads via an initial visit to the Nintendo eShop on that console. Additionally, automatic downloads will require your system to be connected to the internet, updated, and have enough storage space available. When you’re ready for purchases or demo downloads through the website, they’re seamlessly processed through Nintendo eShop.
