Steps to Download a Game from Nintendo eShop
First things first, turn on your Nintendo Switch and make sure it’s connected to the internet. You’ll need a good connection to browse and download games.

Finding and Buying Your Game
Once you’re in the eShop, use the search bar at the top of the screen to find the game you want. You can type in the game’s name or browse through the categories if you’re feeling adventurous.
Found the game you want? Great! Click on it and hit the “Purchase” or “Download” button (the button’s name depends on whether the game is free or not).
