Have a question regarding Nintendo switch games, How do you check which region the Switch Games are from? I’m asking this as I would like to purchase Splatoon 2 but have checked and realised that the “Splatfest”s are based off the game’s region.
Would like to know how many regions there are available for switch games and how to look out for them :(

Thanks.

Most games are region free. Splatoon has 3 "regions". US, UK and JP. The regions are for splatfest like you mentioned.

Your credit card blocked (for other countries) is it?
Did you try a different credit card? I've been using POSB Everyday since June last year and it always works, no matter which eShop I go to.

I am one of the lucky buyers that got the switch from the Korean seller. Maybe it was really random since I didn't do anything special. I realized I should have bought two for that price.

Anyway, I want to buy Splatoon 2 but should I be concerned with what region the game is? I see shopee has a good price plus 11$ off from singtel dash. It only says Variations: Region Free in the product details.

to add on you only have to worry about this for splatoon. other games are fine. if you wanna know which region it’s for, just ask the seller...
