A tiny thing here, but did you know many different games have different artwork, depending on the region they're released in?

Now, the benefits to altering your profile's region are manyfold, but as an added bonus once you return from accessing overseas eShops, you'll be greeted with region-appropriate artwork on the system dashboard.

Creating an account with another region comes with the benefit of being able to download demos for games that are sometimes unreleased or otherwise unavailable (Puyo Puyo Tetris was one such game for a while), and as all Switch titles are region-free, you can experiment with what the eShops of the world have to offer.
