Nintendo Switch E Shop Region Question

[ZXSpectrum]

Can anyone answer this for me?

So I would like to purchase Dying Light on the Switch but it’s not available in the U.K./EU as I don’t believe it has been rated. It is however available on the US E-Shop.

Is there a way to purchase from the US E Shop and get it to show on my account so I can download and play without setting up a new account?

You can switch your account to the US and buy it with credit however the biggest issue with the US Eshop is if you have any left over balance it won’t let you switch back meaning you some how have to spend 1 cent (Other European countries and South Africa let you use PayPal).

So it’s always recommended to just setup a new profile on your switch as a dedicated US account and set it as your home console so you can play the game using your primary account.

Yeah I bought Binding of Isaac from the US store as above when it wasn’t available in the UK. Had to buy store credit off play-Asia as my UK debit card doesn’t work on the US store. Created a US account to access it but it is available on my UK account library.

Ah cool. I will have a think about it, I have it on the PS4/5 and i dont think its a game that is that great for playing once in a while but for how cheap it was i would deffo have liked to give it a go.

Could try a Revolut or Chase card?
