This thread needs to go away from first page. Everytime I seethe first words I'm getting hyped af for preloads, a new review or whatever. Stahp pls.
The embargo officially ends on the 26th, hang on til then!
It was supposed to appear in the download list thingy. So weird.
If only there was a way to visit a website from your bed or a sofa. I cant wait until the 90s are over.

Hello, guys. Is the promotion still on? Will I be able to download the game using my US account?
Doing shit like that from a mobile or tablet can be a total pain in the arse.
Laptop better, but still... Dude, you like swapping between several different gadgets/browsers/websites just to browse a market place?
A tiny bit of front-end set up with the Nintendo accounts makes it all painless forever.
You won't get an email. But can you guys do me a favor and look under "Your Games and Software Library", and see if it shows up there?

It does for me.
Hmm, i wonder if this is something I need to worry about

They'll send the code when it officially releases in Japan. I don't think they'll send it early cause of the update.
Hmm. I mean, the order shows up when I look at past orders. Just nothing shows up in that Game and Software page. Oh well, I guess I'll wait and see.
Man, now Im even more worried. I cant find it even among my past orders 😩. I truly think it didnt go through as I hoped. But the confirmation screen at the end of the process was real, dammit!
edit: found it, its in the canceled orders tab 😔. Oh well, will wait for South Africa digital preorders to open!
Cmon. Youre like the before guy on a infomercial, are you tired of cutting off three limbs every time you want to pour a glass of milk?!
Opening a web page on my phone is basically an involuntary reflex at this point. You just bookmark it. This is really not difficult.
Shows up for me under orders

You can no longer switch regions if you have eShop balance.

Damn that is tempting but I want a physical version, and was hoping to even take my son to the store and buy it together with him...
Ordered from AmazonJP, having it one day before even if I was able to get a physical copy for 50$CAD is too tempting.
I always order physical versions on consoles, but I love my Switch much more than I thought and don't think I will sell it ever like I usually do since I'm mostly a PC gamer. From now on, if the game is a sure bet, I think I will get it digital. Changing cartridge is not great when you're in the subway or on the move.
I wonder if I buy Zelda: BotW digital, can I keep my saves?

Email them...it is simple
Oooh, and no tax, too. As a Canadian that's saving me $15 even when I've got the prime discount. BOUGHT.
If anyone's having trouble with amazon, you've gotta make a new amazon japan account, I think. I needed to go to the account settings page to change my address; for some reason when I tried to change it from the "Change address" prompt on the page saying it wasn't available in my country, Japan wasn't available in the list of countries.

From Amazon fr for me (and it was easy since I am French). Game appear both in my orders and downloadable content list.

Dude, thanks for the tip.
Just bought Stardew Valley like 20% cheaper than in my country eshop.
Didn't even had to use virtual credit card or anything, just used my usual card and it worked.
It's odd how games have very different prices in different regions.
For example, FE Warriors is listed at R669, while Mario&Rabbids is 849.
Meanwhile in Russia, FEW is 4199 and M&R is 3599.
(so if I'd buy FEW in South African eshop, it would cost me ~2850RUR, compared to our local RRP of 4199)

Hugh, the pre-loading now being a thing on Switch make me wonder if I will be strong enough if SMO shows up for pre-load :-/

It should be an European version, so with every languages the eShop tells this version has.

Huh?
Edge gave it a perfect 10 and Famitsu is a complete joke, not even worth wiping your ass with.

You can create a new user with a separate JP account and login to the store using it.
Any game is then accessible by all users on the system.

Me too but I guess it wont be much of a problem to make up one, persnally I will use a family one.

Where did you read anything about preloading? The new firmware supports preordering, but are you just assuming that means preloading too?

Is that true for all regions? I heard it was just for the USA.
I had $0.01 on my account after buying The Flame in the Flood and it wouldn't let me change. I had no problems logging a few pence to change over to Russia for Sonic.
Annoyingly my UK or French credit/debit cards won't work on the USA or Mexico eshop (no problem in Russia), so had no choice but to buy credit, however PC Gamesupply made out very cheap!
I had to phone NoA and they did it manually changed my account back to the UK. Not sure how many times they'll do that though. Might have to set up some other accounts...

Depends on the publisher. All Nintendo games that cost 59.99 in European eshops, cost R669 in SA shop.

I was tempted to do this so I can play on the 26th, but my local retailer promised he will have physical copies for pickup on the 26th or earlier. I don't work on Friday so getting it on Thursday will be really cool.

Oh yes my bad, I thought it meant just that but the exact sentence is :
"Pre-purchase option is available for certain games on Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch"
But what's the point to "pre-purchase" if you cannot pre-load ?
And for the sake of clarification, right now Odyssey cannot be "pre-purchased"
