Ask you guys, are we legible for amazon prime membership? If I preordered some games from them and hit more than $125 for free shipping but those games launch on different date. Will they still ship those games to me individually or wait till all launch then ship out. If ship individually can I still get the free shipping?

Digital purchases are tie to account. You just need to create account from those region and link your Switch to those accounts. One Switch can have multiple region accounts. When you wan to login to a certain region eshop just choose that region account will do.

Some people want to combine all their coins to one account so they keep changing the region of that account.

Anyone can purchase Amazon Prime. You just need to pay for it monthly/annually.

If your order is more than $125, shipping is free. They will ship out when each game is released. However I believe if the release dates are very close together like a week or so they might group those games to ship together. If the release dates are months apart, they will ship individually. Hope this helps.

It's safe. I have bought from them many times over the past 4 years.

However I believe if you use eshop credits, you cannot switch region till you use up all your credits or forfeit your credits. This is the reason I pay with credit card and exact amount. If you use different Nintendo account/profile maybe it is possible, maybe someone can verify this.

Just checked, it's over liao :( Usually they have such discounts for 1 day, this time seem quite short.

Ya safe to buy from them, many of us get PSN cards there, especially when they have the 30% sale on US$10 cards (but limited to 1 per person though).

still dunno if should get physical or download for puyo and mario kart.

didn't have time to go down to tog or other shops to check..

maybe should just buy digital since party games can just swap, no need to meddle with physical cartridge

I think coin is actually tied to NNID and you can't change NNID region.
Furthermore, you can't link Nintendo account with NNID of different region.
So for example,
You start with NNID and NAC US.
You change NAC to Japan => NNID and NAC will auto desync.
When you buy using your NAC, you can't claim gold coin from your NNID.

Thanks! I'm more concerned about the shipping fee. As long as they don't charge me shipping fee individually I'm fine.

Coins are not tied to NNID. Its just tied to your Nintendo account. Been purchasing digital games and earning coins from different regions with 1 account:s22:
