go to the Nintendo Account website, and create yourself a Nintendo Account.Here’s how you can create a Nintendo Account to download games from another region:
This page also tells you which Nintendo Switch games are only available at retail in Japan, so that you can import it if it’s digital-only in your region.
We recommend you use the search feature of your browser to search for the game you’re interested in (we always use the European / North American name, unless the game is only available in Japan). We will try to keep it updated as long as possible, so keep coming back for new additions! And that’s why we created this post: to list all the Nintendo Switch games with an English (+ other languages) option that are currently available on the Nintendo eShop in Japan. 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.
