Nintendo eShop Spotlight – January 16, 2025 | Update

Are you still on the fence about creating a Nintendo Account? Well, it’s absolutely free, and there are plenty of perks waiting for you once you dive in. Not only will you join the fun of the My Nintendo rewards program, but you’ll also rack up points by grabbing eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, using the different Nintendo apps on your smartphone, or even just by signing in to various Nintendo services, including the eShop.

If you’re curious about how to snag download games, the official Nintendo website is your go-to resource for detailed information. And for those looking to explore some great downloadable content, the Nintendo eShop site is packed with exciting options to check out.

When you’re ready to make a purchase, it’s always wise to swing by the Nintendo eShop or specific game pages for the latest pricing details. Just a heads-up, you’ll need a Nintendo Account to download game demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, and, of course, some terms and conditions will apply.

Here’s a quick guide to make sure you’re all set up: if you want to buy download games, grab demos, or get free software from the Nintendo eShop on the website, make sure your Nintendo Account is connected to your Nintendo Switch console. This step is crucial. You’ll need to register your console as the active one for downloads by visiting the Nintendo eShop on it at least once. For seamless, automatic downloads, keep your system updated, connected to the internet, with automatic downloads switched on, and don’t forget to have enough storage space available. If you need further assistance, the Support section on the website is super helpful. Remember, any purchase or demo download from the Nintendo website goes through the Nintendo eShop, making it a smooth experience.
