If you haven’t set up your Nintendo Account yet, now’s a great time to head over to their website and sign up for free. Creating an account unlocks access to the My Nintendo rewards program, where you can earn points simply by buying eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop. But that’s not all—using Nintendo’s apps on your smart device or just logging into services like the Nintendo eShop also racks up those points.
Want to dive deeper into purchasing downloadable games? Check out the details on Nintendo’s official site. And if you’re on the hunt for more downloadable content, the Nintendo eShop website is packed with great options.
When you’re ready to buy or check out demos, remember you’ll need a Nintendo Account for downloading from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch. Keep an eye on the eShop or game pages for the latest pricing info.
To grab downloadable games or try out free demos directly from the Nintendo site, your Nintendo Account must be linked to your Switch console. You’ll need to register your console as the active device for downloads by visiting the eShop at least once with that system. For automatic downloads to work, ensure your console is updated, hooked up to the internet, and has enough storage space. Head to our Support section for more details. Any purchase or demo downloads made via the Nintendo website get processed through the Nintendo eShop.
