This is pretty great news for players who understand Japanese, and want to “import” Nintendo Switch games by buying them directly from the Nintendo eShop (though it’s definitely not the least expensive method!).īut it’s also good news for players who want to download Nintendo Switch games from the Nintendo eShop in English, as some of the games DO offer an English-language option. And that applies to the Nintendo eShop (as explained in this post), though obviously, you need a Nintendo Account set to Japan. One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch is that it’s completely region-free.
