Nintendo eShop Spotlight – January 16, 2025 | News

Not part of the Nintendo family yet? Head over to their site and sign up—it won’t cost you a dime. Once you’re in with a Nintendo Account, you can dive into the My Nintendo rewards program. It’s a neat way to rack up points whenever you buy qualifying digital games on the Nintendo eShop. Plus, just using certain Nintendo apps on your phone or logging into Nintendo services like the eShop earns you rewards too.

Curious about how to grab games for download? You can find all the details on Nintendo’s official website. And speaking of downloads, there’s a treasure trove of content waiting for you at our Nintendo eShop website.

Want to know the current game prices? Just check the eShop or visit the individual game pages for the latest info.

Important to note—if you’re looking to snag some demos from the eShop on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll need to set up a Nintendo Account. There are some terms and conditions you’ll want to look at first.

If you’re planning to buy download games or want to play demos and free software from the eShop via the website, you’ll need your Nintendo Account linked to your Switch console. Ensure that your console is set as the active download device by visiting Nintendo eShop on it at least once. For downloads to happen seamlessly, your system should be up-to-date, internet-connected, and have automatic downloads turned on, alongside enough storage space. For more guidance, check out our Support section. All purchases or demo activations made through Nintendo’s website are funneled through Nintendo eShop.
