Nintendo eShop Spotlight – January 23, 2025 | Update

If you haven’t jumped on the Nintendo Account bandwagon yet, it’s super simple to sign up for free right now. Having a Nintendo Account not only gets you into the action with downloads but also opens doors to the My Nintendo rewards program. This means you can rack up points every time you buy eligible digital games from the Nintendo eShop, use Nintendo apps on your phone, or just by logging into Nintendo services.

For a deep dive into how to snag download games, head over to Nintendo’s official website. But hey, don’t stop there. The Nintendo eShop website is bursting with amazing downloadable content waiting to be explored.

A quick note: Be sure to check out Nintendo eShop or browse the game pages for the freshest pricing details.

To grab demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, you’re going to need a Nintendo Account. Of course, the usual terms and conditions are in play.

A little heads-up: To buy downloadable games or snag demos and free software straight from the Nintendo eShop via the official site, your Nintendo Account needs to be linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Make sure your console is set as the active one for downloads on your account by visiting the Nintendo eShop on that device at least once. For an automatic download experience, keep your system updated, ensure it’s connected to the internet, and have automatic downloads flipped on. Plus, make sure there’s enough storage available to complete your download. For further details, swing by our Support section. Remember, when you make purchases or activate demo downloads online, they’re all processed through the Nintendo eShop.
