Creating a Nintendo Account is a must if you’re looking to download demos directly from the Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch. Don’t forget, terms and conditions will apply.
To buy downloadable games or grab demos and free software from the Nintendo eShop via the official site, ensure your Nintendo Account is linked to your Switch console. Your console has to be registered as the main device for downloads for this account. You can achieve this by accessing the eShop on the desired device at least once. Also, for automatic downloads, your system needs to be kept updated, connected to the internet with automatic downloads switched on, and should have enough storage space available. Check out our Support section for more detailed guidance. Remember, all purchases or demo activations done through the Nintendo website go through the Nintendo eShop.
