Expansion pass DLC region lock

I have a Splatoon 2 cartridge from the US but my eshop is EUR. I got the expansion pass and I can use the Mario Kart DLC because the cartridge is European. But I can't with Splatoon. Is there anyway around this?

A Probably Futile Question About 3DS Game Codes

Is it still possible to download 3ds games with a digital code via nintendo.com/redeem? I realize that it's probably just wishful thinking but I thought I'd ask anyways.

Will they ever crack down on abuse of the "New Releases" page on the Switch eShop?

Everyone who browses the cheap end of the eShop must have seen some of these by now: Switch 'shovelware' apps in the $1-3 range which almost no one on Earth would ever want a Switch to do, like "Sports Stopwatch" and "Note pad" and "Alarm Clock"... and it's always "Alarm Clock, Super Extra Deluxe Plus+++ Edition!" or something like that.

It seems like the simplest explanation is that they're re-releasing essentially the same software over and over, maybe with different skins or wallpapers, with a different "Extra Super Newer Edition: Directors Cut" tag on it each time, in order to keep pushing their stuff into the "Recent Releases" page. Charitably, maybe they're just hoping for impulse-buys from people who are on indiscriminate eShopping sprees. Or less charitably, maybe they're just hoping for accidental purchases by people who are sitting on the controller. (They probably aren't making their money off people who sincerely want to use their switch as an alarm clock or a word processor, I feel pretty confident of that.)

The worst offender for this that I've seen is a developer/publisher called 'RedDeer.Games', but there's a few others in there too.

Anyone else noticed this? Do you know what the Nintendo publishing policy is which allows this to go on? Who wants to go form a pitchfork mob and demand an end to this mildly annoying practice? Rabble rabble rabble.

Does anyone know what happened to Heavy Burger?

The game won’t open and I see that it and other Johnny Turbo games aren’t in the eShop anymore.

Can’t download a game I paid for

So I got the urge to play fifa 23 on the switch again but when I went to redownload it I couldn’t find it. With a simple google search I found out that all fifa games from 14-23 have been removed from the eshop. This actually makes me mad because I paid for the game and cant play it anymore.

Is there anything I can or should do ?

Different regions eshop money

So I am in the UK I have a UK region account and recently made a separate USA region account. I want to buy a game on the USA eshop. What sites can I use (eg. Playasia, cdkeys) to pay UK Money and get a USA eshop card will I be able to redeem it on my USA account? Some sites say can redeem in UK but I guess that just means my UK account and not my actual country? Thanks.

What are some eShop gems you'd recomend?

I've have a habit of looking around the discount section and not always buying much anything but I see some things for dirt cheap, I'm just not sure if they are good or relatable, I really like a game with good replayability, or something long to keep me busy, you know, get my money/times worth, I saw steameorld dig2 on discount and I've heard good things of that game, so in short, what are some discount games you'd recomend (score based, long or pretty replayable)

Email notifications for sales

Is there a way to have Nintendo email you when something on your wishlist goes on sale? Steam does it, so I figured Nintendo might have a way to do it as well.

Retro Title Uploader on eShop

I just found a publisher by the name HAMSTER on the Switch eShop that seems to be uploading game ports of older retro titles, mostly arcade and NES titles. I'm curious as to the legality this. Some examples of games they have published are the original Super Mario, Donkey Kong, the Metal Slug games, and King of Fighters.

Need Help for Switch eShop Question

So, my switch online renewed today, and I got two seperate emails saying it put 16.84 into my account before charging me for the online (21.64). My funds are at 0 now, but I believed I had the remainder of funds for the online cost, so does anyone know if this just means nintendo took the remainder of the funds i would need from my card and then the payment went through for it.

Unable to switch my Debit Card

My debit card recently expired and after activating my new one, I went to change it on my switch. Whenever I try to change it, I get the error code “2813-0119”. After looking it up the only solutions provided by Nintendo were to restart the eShop, which I have already tried, or to use another card or PayPal, neither of which I have.

If anyone else has encountered this issue, please let me know how it was fixed!

Was Paypal removed from Payment Methods?

I had a paypal account linked to my nintendo account, so I know it used to be possible to pay with paypal on the Nintendo online store. But I logged in today and noticed that Paypal was no longer listed as a possible Payment Method when I try to check out. I see Visa and Mastercard but not Paypal. Anybody else not seeing Paypal on the Payment Method list or is it just me?
