The Switch digital store will be linked to your Nintendo account

One of the main reasons for skepticism about the Nintendo Switch is the fact that the Nintendo digital shopping store does not have the same capabilities as PlayStation Network or Xbox Live, we mean that when you make a purchase of a video game in the PlayStation Store, generally that purchase is tied for life to your account, which was not the case with Nintendo. Nevertheless, According to the latest leaks, Nintendo Switch will have a digital store with the same characteristics as the rest of its competitors. This will undoubtedly encourage sales of content of this type.

Thus, and if we take into account the reduced storage memory of the console, it makes sense that the digital video game purchases that you made through the corresponding channel could be stored in your Nintendo Account, thus ensuring that you can re-download and play whenever you want, and not prioritizing the purchase of physical video games, which is in a constant decline thanks to the popularization of these digital video games that each time have more characteristics and reasons that drive their acquisition. It is true that it will never be the same as the feeling of buying a physical game, but logic prevails.

Your Nintendo Account maintains a history of your purchases on the Nintendo eShop, as well as the contents of your wallet. In this way, when you restart or restore the console you can re-download all the content that you had previously purchased.

We have been able to know this feature thanks to the filtered video of the unboxing and the content of the operating system that we have left at the top of this article. Do not miss it, although honestly, the new packaging of the Nintendo Switch leaves a little to be desired, but effectiveness and simplicity prevail above all in Nintendo.
