Ever found yourself wondering how to switch up the language on your Nintendo eShop? Let’s dive into that, step by step.

So, you’ve got your hands on a Nintendo Switch and are ready to dive into the vast world of gaming it offers. But wait, what if everything’s in a language you don’t understand? No worries, changing the language on the Nintendo eShop is simpler than you think.

Quick Steps to Change Your eShop Language

First things first, the language for your Nintendo eShop matches the one you’ve set on your system. So, to change the eShop language, you’ll need to adjust your system settings. Here’s the scoop:

Navigate to the System Settings on your Nintendo Switch. Scroll down until you find “System,” then select “Language.” Pick the language that speaks to you, confirm, and voilà! Your entire system, including the eShop, will now greet you in the new language.

Why Can’t I Find My Language?

Sometimes, the language you’re looking for might not be on the list. Nintendo’s global, but their language options might not cover every single dialect. The available languages usually include big hitters like English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, and a few others. If your heart’s set on a specific one and it’s not there, you might need to choose a close second.
