How to Scan a Nintendo eShop Card on Your Switch
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can use those nifty Nintendo eShop cards on your Switch? We’ve got you covered!
Let’s dive into the steps for scanning a Nintendo eShop card on your Switch. It’s super easy and quick!
Quick Steps to Scan Your eShop Card
First off, Nintendo eShop cards don’t exactly ‘scan’ on the Switch like they might on other devices. Instead, you’ll enter the card’s code manually. Here’s how to do it:
Turn on your Nintendo Switch and head over to the Nintendo eShop. Once there, scroll down to ‘Enter Code’ at the bottom of the screen. Scratch off the silver panel on the back of your eShop card to reveal the code, then type it in. Hit ‘OK’, and voila! You’ve added the card’s value to your eShop account.
Why You Can’t Scan but Need to Enter the Code
Given our world of advanced technology, you might wonder why you can’t just scan your Nintendo eShop card directly onto your Switch. Well, the Switch is designed for optimal gaming and doesn’t include a scanner. But fret not! Entering the code is a breeze, and you’ll be ready to purchase new games or add-ons in no time.
Remember, this method ensures that you can redeem your card’s value from anywhere – whether you’re cozy at home or on the go with your Switch. So, while a scan feature might seem handy, typing in a code is just as easy and far more versatile.
