Last updated
Ever wondered how you can dive into the vast world of the Japanese Nintendo eShop? You’re not alone!
Many gamers are curious about buying games and content from the Japanese Nintendo eShop, but aren’t quite sure how it’s done. Let’s clear up the confusion and get you started.
Step-By-Step Guide to Accessing the Japanese Nintendo eShop
To buy from the Japanese Nintendo eShop, you need a Japanese Nintendo Account. First, create a new account on the Nintendo website and select Japan as your country of residence. Remember, this doesn’t affect your existing account, so your regular eShop purchases are safe.
Once your Japanese Nintendo Account is ready, link it to a new user profile on your Nintendo Switch. Switch your console’s region to Japan in the Settings, and voilà, you now have access to the Japanese Nintendo eShop!
What You Need to Know About Currency and Payments
Now, here’s the tricky part: you’ll need a payment method accepted by the Japanese eShop. International credit cards often don’t work, so your best bet is to buy Japanese Nintendo eShop Gift Cards. These are available online from various retailers. Just make sure to purchase from a reputable source to avoid scams.
Once you have your gift card, redeem it on your Japanese account, and you can start shopping! Remember, the store will be in Japanese, but a little trial and error (or a handy online translator) will go a long way.
