Hello, I have little experience with online shopping on Switch and would like to ask for help.
Yesterday I discovered by chance that there is a website called Save Coins, where I can see the prices of the Nintendo Store games in each store of each available country.
So I decided to come here and ask how to use this information correctly (and if it is against Nintendo rules somehow).
If I have a Canadian account for example, can I change the location to Japan, buy the game and return to Canada immediately after? If so, will that game I bought at the Japanese store receive updates normally even if I have returned to the Canadian location?
And just to fully clarify the subject:
Are there any limits to location changes within a certain time?
Regardless of which country I buy the game, will it have all the languages available?
Is there any limitation I should know if I buy the games in different stores?
If all this is possible and easy to do, I would like to know if you usually do this or always buy from the same store?
Thank you for your time, and sorry for the probably noob question.
I was changing country all the time and have zero problems with account or games updates. I did that at least 20 times so far
... BUT.. it’s getting boring to enter password for eShop every time you change back to your legit country so I’m on Norway store all the time since it has best prices in EU (mostly). And I’m from Croatia and my default Nintendo ID is on UK because back in the days of 3ds you couldn’t choose Croatia.
just create multiple users, I am Canadian and I created a Japan region account just for the store, than I use my main Canadian account to play those Japan demos
I'm changing all the time and only for the duration of the purchase and download (which is an hour max). Russia has some great deals but new titles are usually cheapest from South Africa. After switching back, my normal account will display the items as purchased in my regional e-Store so it seems Nintendo doesn't care at all.
