Interesting... Zelda is supposed to be 60 USD in USA.. where convert to optimal rate is 85 sgd, gamewerk sell for 79 sgd. Does this mean all the stocks is get from Japan? Does this also mean the eshop games on Japan will be cheaper? :)

think ppl mentioned its from UAE region .... as in singapore is park under this region

Did some quick math, getting games from the japanese store is slightly cheaper than canadian, and most games (like i am setsuna and bomberman) support english natively if you set your device to english.

DLC only needs to be bought once, across all accounts.

Just tested DLC with a local copy of Zelda (Picked up from Qisahn.)

- I have 3 accounts. Main account is Canadian (Better than US, cheaper), and I have two other accounts :Japan and Australian
- Purchased Zelda DLC on Canadian Account. Local credit card can be used on the canadian estore no problem. Also, I managed to merge my old estore banked credits from my 3DS.
- DLC is detected and can be seen as purchased from inside the game.
- Tested Disgaea 5 bought from the Japanese E store. Loads and plays fine in English with my Canadian account.
- I can play Zelda with my japanese account, but surprisingly, when I load up the japanese region e-store, it told me that i have already purchased the DLC. It seems that DLC is tied to your console, or perhaps tied to a single account on your console but all accounts are allowed to access it. Not sure, I don't have multiple switches to try it out :)

There is one caveat : I'm assuming you can only purchase DLC for certain games if they are only released in certain regions (You can't purchase DLC using a US e store account if its a japanese region game only and not launched in the US, unlike Zelda which is released in all regions).

TLDR;
Create as many accounts as you want, in any region. Choose which region is the cheapest and buy your games/dlc from there.

Actually 1 account can access all different eshop..dont have to create multiple but of cuz u can do that. To access diff eshop, you have to log in to your Nintendo account to switch your country. I am Setsuna costs 39.99USD but 39.99CAD on the canadian eshop.
