If you’re downloading demos from the Nintendo eShop on your Switch, you’ll need to be registered with a Nintendo Account. Certain terms and conditions apply, so it’s good to familiarize yourself with those.
To snag download games, demos, or free software from the Nintendo eShop via the official website, your Nintendo Account must be linked to your Nintendo Switch console. Remember, your console needs to be set as the active one for downloads, which is quick to set up by visiting the Nintendo eShop on the console at least once. For the download to kick off automatically, make sure your system is updated, connected to the internet with auto-downloads enabled, and check that there’s sufficient storage available. If you need further assistance, our Support section is there to help. Any purchases or demo downloads initiated through the Nintendo website get processed through the Nintendo eShop.
