If you haven’t set up a Nintendo Account yet, it’s a great time to do so—and it’s completely free. By creating an account, you can dive into the My Nintendo rewards program where you can earn points. These points rack up when you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo’s apps on your phone, or simply by logging into different Nintendo services like the eShop.
For more details on how to purchase download games, check out the official Nintendo website. There’s a treasure trove of amazing downloadable content waiting for you over at our Nintendo eShop website.
Regarding prices, always take a look at the Nintendo eShop or the specific game pages for the most current pricing information. Keep in mind, to download demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch, you’ll need a Nintendo Account, and remember that terms and conditions apply.
