If you are attempting to use a download code or system from a different region (a European download code with a North American system, for example), the download code will not work. (For example, a code sold for use in Japan can only be redeemed with a Nintendo Account and/or Nintendo eShop also set to Japan.) A download code can only be redeemed on a Nintendo eShop set to the same region as the game. Verify that the country setting on your system is correct on your Nintendo Switch, Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family system. (For example, a 0 may look like an 8, a 5 may look like a 2, etc). If some numbers are hard to read, try entering similar numbers. Redeem a Nintendo Switch download code in Nintendo Switch eShop or visit the online code redemption page to redeem a Nintendo Switch download code online.
(For example, Nintendo Switch games can only be redeemed on a Nintendo Switch system.)
Games can only be redeemed on the system for which they are intended. Games: The download code must be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems. Themes: The download code must be redeemed within the Theme Shop on a Nintendo 3DS family system. The download code is a 16-digit code that is printed on the receipt or available in the email body. Verify that you are entering your download code correctly. However, download codes given out for a specific promotion (Hyrule Warriors DLC pack, Pokémon distributions, etc) and those obtained through My Nintendo will usually have an expiration date. Download codes purchased from retailers or bundled with Nintendo products do not expire. #DOWNLOADABLE CODE 3DS ESHOP PURCHASE HOW TO#
