If you haven’t signed up for a Nintendo Account yet, now’s the time to do it—and the best part is, it’s free. Having an account lets you enjoy the My Nintendo rewards program, where you can earn points not just by purchasing eligible digital games on Nintendo eShop, but also by using Nintendo apps on your smartphone or even simply logging into Nintendo services like the eShop.
For more detailed information on buying downloadable games, you’ll want to head over to the official Nintendo website. And if you’re looking for a treasure trove of downloadable content, don’t miss our Nintendo eShop site.
Keep in mind, the latest pricing details can always be checked on Nintendo eShop or by visiting specific game pages. To download demo versions from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need to have a Nintendo Account, so make sure to sign up first. Of course, certain terms and conditions will apply.
A quick note: To buy or download games, demos, and free software from Nintendo eShop via the official website, your Nintendo Account must be linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Your console needs to be registered as the active device for downloading under your Nintendo Account; this can be done by accessing the Nintendo eShop on the device at least once. To ensure automatic downloads, make sure your system is both updated and online, with auto-downloads turned on, and that you have enough storage space. For further guidance, check out the Support section on our website. Remember, all purchases or demo activations made through the Nintendo website are carried out via Nintendo eShop.
