Product Details
A Nintendo eShop card is a prepaid card. It does not give you one specific game. It gives you balance. You choose what to buy later.
After you redeem the code, the balance is saved in your Nintendo account. You can use it any time you shop in the eShop. If you spend only part of it, the rest stays in your balance.
Benefits and Uses
You can use your Nintendo eShop balance for items sold in the eShop, such as:
- Digital games
- DLC, which means extra content for a game
- Apps and other digital items
- Nintendo Switch Online membership
What you can buy depends on the eShop of your account's region. Some games, prices, and plans can differ from one region to another.
Because the card is prepaid, it also helps you plan your spending. You decide how much to add. Then you can spend within that amount.
Compatibility and Restrictions
Please read these points before you redeem the code:
- Nintendo eShop gift cards are region-locked. The card region must match the region of your Nintendo account. If it does not match, the code may not work.
- The balance goes to one Nintendo account. Nintendo's card terms, as shown by retailers, say it cannot be moved to another account.
- The card is not reloadable. A lost or stolen card is not replaced by Nintendo or the seller.
- Nintendo ended eShop purchases on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in March 2023. So these cards are meant for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
- If you change the country of your Nintendo account, your old eShop balance does not move with it, so check your account region first.
Please check Nintendo's support pages for the latest rules on regions and accounts.
