About the Nintendo eShop Card
Everything to know before you buy
A Nintendo eShop card adds funds to your Nintendo Account. Use them on Nintendo eShop to download games for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, from big Nintendo releases like Mario, Zelda and Pokémon to indie games, as well as DLC, expansion passes and in-game items, and memberships to Nintendo Switch Online.
Buy your Nintendo eShop card online on Kadokey: choose the country and amount, pay securely, and your 16-character code is shown on screen and sent by e-mail as soon as the payment is confirmed. No bank card is needed on the console, which makes it ideal for children's accounts and for keeping the gaming budget under control.
Which card should I choose?
Nintendo eShop cards are sold for one country. The country of your Nintendo Account must match the card: a UK card for a UK account, a US card for a US account, a German card for a German account, and so on. You can see your account's country in your Nintendo Account settings.
What can I buy with it?
Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 games, including new releases and pre-orders.
DLC, expansion passes and in-game items.
Nintendo Switch Online memberships.
A gift for every Nintendo fan
Not sure which game to give? With a Nintendo eShop card, the player chooses. Send the code by e-mail or message: it is added in a minute on the console or on the Nintendo website.
Funds stay on the Nintendo Account that redeemed the code. If you change the country of your account, a remaining balance in the old currency may no longer be usable, so spend it first.
How to redeem your code
