Thinking about diving into the world of Nintendo but haven’t signed up for a Nintendo Account yet? It’s a great idea to do so! Simply visit their website and sign up—it’s totally free. With a Nintendo Account, you can tap into the My Nintendo rewards program, earning points every time you buy eligible digital games on the Nintendo eShop. You can also rack up points by using Nintendo apps on your smartphone or just by logging into Nintendo services, like the eShop.
If you’re curious about how to purchase download games, the official Nintendo website has all the details you need. Plus, there’s a treasure trove of downloadable content waiting for you at the Nintendo eShop, so it’s worth checking out the huge variety of games available there.
Keep in mind that the latest pricing details can always be found on the Nintendo eShop or on the specific game pages. And, just so you know, you’ll need to create a Nintendo Account before you can grab demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch. Make sure to read through the terms and conditions as well.
To buy downloadable games or grab free demos via the official website, your Nintendo Account needs to be linked to your Nintendo Switch console. It’s important that your console is set as the active device for downloads under your Nintendo Account. This means you should have accessed the eShop on your Switch at least once. For an automatic download, double-check that your system is updated, connected to the internet with automatic downloads turned on, and that there’s sufficient storage available for the download to complete. For more detailed guidance, swing by the Support section on their website. Remember, any purchases or demo downloads initiated from the Nintendo website are routed through the Nintendo eShop.
