Hello,
I'm trying to buy games from Nintendo Eshop using paysafecard,which is probably only doable by using online sites (may be scam,I know,but that's the only thing I have as of now)
I found a ''trust-worthy'' site,and the main site is on Netherlands,and it also warns that the codes it offers can only be redeemed in the Netherlands region.
Does that mean that since my console is not from Netherlands,it won't redeem on the eshop ?(well,IF it's a valid code,again)
Can changing my country to the Netherlands bypass this ?
Thanks in advance

Changing to Netherlands via your account info then signing into eshop will allow you to do this. But make sure you end up with a zero balence after purchase or your locked to that region or loose balance.

To bypass this, just make another account based in Netherlands.

I believe it would work in any country that uses the same currency (Euro), but I may be wrong there (please update me on whether this is true or not)
That's always how it's worked in the past.
But yes you can temporarily change your country and it will definitely work. You might not need to though.
Or you can make a second account just for the purpose of using the Dutch eShop.

I have the same doubt as The Real Jdbye,but other than that,why should I end up with 0 balance,isn't balance supposed to remain in the account ? I'd buy more games after this (supposing startselect's cpdes will work) but will the account with the changed region get ''deleted'' or something ?

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
