And remember, signing up for a Nintendo Account is essential if you want to download demos from the eShop on your Nintendo Switch. Of course, the usual terms and conditions apply.
Before you can buy or download any games and demos from the Nintendo eShop or via the official site, your Nintendo Account must be linked to your Switch console. Your console has to be set as the active one for downloads—this involves visiting the eShop on the device at least once. To ensure smooth, automatic downloads, make sure your system is updated, online, and has the automatic downloads option turned on. Plus, you need enough storage space. For more details, have a look at our Support section. Keep in mind that any purchases or demo downloads you make through the Nintendo site are processed via the eShop.
