10 Things You Didn't Know Your Nintendo Switch Could Do
8. Buy Cheaper Games By Switching Regions
When it comes to games, price conversions across different currencies are rarely accurate, with some countries paying more than others for the same product. Plus, sometimes there are sales in some regions that aren't active elsewhere.
All of this is also true on the Switch's eShop, and it sucks to know that someone may have just paid less than you for the exact same game. Fortunately, there's a simple solution here that can save you a bit of money over time.
All you have to do is set up a second account (or as many as you want, adding different regions to each). You can do this in minutes on Nintendo's website, making sure to set your region to the one you desire. Then, by using these extra accounts on your Switch, you can access that particular region's store - and potentially - its lower prices.
Or instead of creating a new account, you can just change the region of your main one (check you have £0.00 credit in your account before you do this).
To make sure either of these methods will actually be worth the effort, use a Switch eShop price comparison site. There are tons available, and they're easy to use.
