Considering signing up for the Nintendo Switch Online to activate the Pokémon Sword & Shield Surprise Trade(s)...

Anything to take note of, please? Like changing the country of residence etc.?

Will sign up for the 12-months Family Membership at $34.99 (USD?).

Question, when you all buy online game from the eshop, if i set the region as USA, is it charged in USD, or any other currency?

What is the region you all set to buy the eshop game?

Just bought a switch, so dunno anything

Charge in USD but bank will do the conversion for you if you using Credit Card.

I change region depending on where is cheaper. There are websites (search eshop price) that compares prices from different regions and show you where is cheaper.

I’m using a US account and set everything to US, so my eShop account and Nintendo Switch online subscription works.

Do note that during the setup of your eShop account, there’s a part where you need to specify a zipcode when you add your credit card for purchases. Note that there’re only a few states in the US that are tax free so when you purchase your games, you won’t be charged any taxes, since different states charge different amounts of tax.

A list of the tax-free US zipcodes are here, use any one of them: http://ipohzai.com/?p=2414

Lastly, you will be charged in USD and billed in SGD after conversion but overall, eShop games tend to cost a little more than physical copies sold here. Example, a typical game cost US$59.99 but I’m charged S$83+ when my bill comes, compared to around S$75 - S$77 locally.

I only buy games that are on sale from eshop.

Those with physical copy, can get the korean version for cheaper price (check Q10). Language is still in English (follow your switch language setting).

Some titles from time to time will have discounts on eShop, but if got new game I wish to play I will buy even if it’s at full price. In addition can earn gold coins in eShop and offset for discounts on your next purchase.

No issue with the sets bought from Korea. You can set the system language to English.

The local distributor is unlikely to provide warranty for the set though.
