Does it Matter if My Switch is from Japan?
If you’re wondering whether a Nintendo Switch from Japan has any difference compared to those from other regions, this article aims to clarify any concerns.
The Good News
One of the most prominent concerns regarding Switch consoles purchased from Japan or other international markets is compatibility with software and online features. Worry no more! In 2016, Nintendo removed the region lock, which means any Switch console from Japan, the US, or any other region can be used on any other region.
Whether you purchase your Switch console in Japan, the United States, Europe, or elsewhere, you will still have full access to Nintendo eShop downloads, online gaming, and social features with your My Nintendo account. No locked doors, no compatibility issues!
