About this card
A Nintendo eShop gift card adds funds to the Nintendo Switch eShop on Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED — Nintendo's digital storefront for downloadable games, indie titles, classic Virtual Console releases, paid DLC, and pre-orders. Once redeemed against your Nintendo Account, the wallet balance applies automatically to any eShop purchase, alongside the funds already on it. Free demos, free-to-start games (Fortnite, Tetris 99, Pokémon Café ReMix), and free trials don't draw on the wallet.
Each card is strictly region-locked to the issuing country store: a US card redeems only on a US-region Nintendo Account, a UK card on a UK account, a Japanese card on a JP account, an EU card on the matching EU country account, and so on. The region is set when you first create the Nintendo Account and is difficult to change later, so pick the country matching the account you actually game on. Buying the wrong region locks the funds to an eShop you can't reach.
The wallet covers everything you can buy on the eShop: full downloadable games (first-party Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Pokémon, plus the entire indie shelf), paid DLC (Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass, Splatoon 3 expansions, Pokémon DLCs), pre-orders, and Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions — both Individual and Family plans, and the +Expansion Pack tier with N64, GBA, and Sega Mega Drive libraries. Set the wallet as your default payment method to auto-renew NSO from the balance.
Redeem on the console (eShop → profile icon → Redeem Code) or on the web at ec.nintendo.com/redeem. We deliver the 16-character code in about 11 minutes after your transaction confirms, by email. Crypto-rail savings: 1.5 % off retail in US/UK/CA/AU/JP, 2 % in EU stores, 3 % in Mexico. Note: 3DS and Wii U eShops were retired in March 2023 — this card is for Nintendo Switch only.
