65 USD. Those are Australian Dollars. When talking about "bucks" in an internet setting most people automatically assume USD. That's not used where I live, too, but using AUD while complaining about prices in Dollar is a bit dishonest, in my opinion.
This thread should be interpreted as "How can I pirate?" and it should be locked or deleted, and the OP banned. Not only that, but it's the dumbest thing I've seen all day. freeshop and the like were made useless months ago now, so why would anybody assume it would work on Nintendo's current money maker?
Keep in mind about inflation, though. Don't know about AU, but the prices hit hard specially when applying tax, shipping and tax over shipping (if physical) here. Nintendo does research and apply eShop prices to be about the same than the physical game unit sold by retailers when used the eShop account locally. The best deal is to use an US/CAN account but due to, again, inflation, the game dollar price can cost more than, you say, most of the bills. Unfortunatly, getting Nintendo games this inaccessible leads a lot of people to pirate every day.
Kinda off-topic though.

Leave me alone!And you play all of them at the same time, right?
Nah. I've been thinking about the best way to approach it. Right now I have all my games from A-L on one, and M-Z on the other. There's stuff like South Park on one, a 20 odd gig download and I wanna play it every now and then, but then I wanna fire up a quick round of Fortnite with the missus and I gotta swap. Thinking I might just put my frequent rotation games on one card and the rest on the other. Ever since my demos of Chromagun (which I later bought anyway) and Super Beat Sports disappeared and stopped being available to downloaded entirely, I don't delete anything. So even if I only keep the games I'm currently playing on the card, I'll have all the tiles from everything else on there still just out of paranoia, like that game One Strike that got deleted. I own it, and although I've not played it yet (picked it up for like half a dollar right before the delisting), there's no way in fuck I'm deleting it any time soon. Oh, first world problems.
You can use Google to convert the prices pretty easily. My first post said "EB Games here", before listing the prices, indicating I'm talking about my country, and there's a giant ass Aussie flag next to my name on every post I'll ever make. I mean, it can't really get much more forthcoming and honest, in my opinion.
To give you a bit more detail as to why your freeshop question isn't feasible.
To download from Nintendo's CDN requires the use of both your console's unique certificate and a token that is generated by your console when you connect to the servers.
As both of these contain information about the Nintendo Account in use and also the console ID you are unable to bypass the security checks and still keep your console online.
What these security checks do:
The certificate is used to ensure that the request comes from an actual console
The server then requests that the token is provided and access is provided to the file
There used to be a way to bypass the first check by using a publicly available certificate but when people started abusing this system nintendo changed their authentication method and started requiring the use of the token.
Even IF you did manage to download any files from Nintendo, without the use of CFW and Emunand/Nand Backup you would be running the risk of banning your console entirely as the installation of the downloaded file would flag your console with nintendo's servers. You could leave your console offline and then do a Nand restore after every session but this in turn could flag you for a ban as your logs would not match.
This is what I go through out here in Canada. After tax, games come to about $91. They are $80 before taxes even kick in and shipping on top of that, if you don't get it through Amazon, or a local vendor. Either way, out the door, you are paying $91 minimum for each game.
Ok, so I understand that Freeshop right now pretty much just isn't available.
But regarding everyone's responses about expensive games, what some people don't understand is that in different countries the prices of games go WAY up because its not translated by the dollar. For example in Costa Rica 500 colones is = 1 US dollar, which means 1,000 colones is = to 2 US dollars. And in Costa Rica instead of full Switch games being 30,000 colones ($60), they're 60,000 colones ($120) which is absolutely insane.
And yes, since the Switch isn't region locked anyone around the world can download games on the shop for $60, but lots of people prefer physical games because once they're done with the game then they can sell it and make 2/3's of their money back to invest in new games.

You can't really use the "I prefer physical games" argument against buying digitally, when your whole post on here is about pirating games in the first place.
That was completely unrelated to pirating. Regardless I think Switch games are expensive, physical or digital.

I'm sure for everything you pirated on the 3DS is enough to get you a collection of games for the Switch
To answer your question, FreeShopNX still works, you just need to be on the latest FW (6.2 at the time of this writing). You need CFW on your Switch in order to access the Homebrew Menu and run the FreeShopNX.nro. You'll also need a FreeShopNX.txt file that contains the Rights IDs, Title Keys, and names of the games you'd like to install (I cannot help you with this file as the title keys are the copyrighted piracy part). FreeShopNX can also be used to install just the tickets for the games rather than the full games themselves.
The reason everyone is warning you about banning is that when your Switch is banned it's not just banned from online play but also from Nintendo's content distribution network. This means if you get banned, FreeShopNX will no longer be able to download any more games (FreeShopNX downloads the games directly from Nintendo's server just like FreeShop on 3DS did). Nintendo ramped up their security so while you may be able to snag a few games this way you're more likely to get banned quicker now than in the past when FreeShopNX was first released.
Don't you need something for the "new" auth decryption or whatever (can't remember the name now)?
Who would want to ban their $300+ console anyway, unless they had an extremely disposable income?
Banned online does not mean Nintendo is being nice like they used to be on Wii U. Banned online means "NO Nintendo Network server."
eShop won't work. Updates won't download. Online Play will not connect. Essentially you are banned from using the internet on your Switch. (Almost.)
As soon as you get the free games from some "Now deprecated" FreeShop for switch, you would get instantly banned and cannot download anything else. I would say if you have access to such a thing, use it at the end of Switch's Life and then get all of the games in one sitting in case you get banned. (So you won't be upset a new game came out and you didn't just wait to get banned.)
In this case, Nintendo altered their security anyway as far as I know so this is not possible anyways.
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU LIVING WHERE A PS3 WAS *EVER* A GRAND, LET ALONE "EASILY" A GRAND, SOLID AT THAT!?
120 DOLLARS FOR A GAME?! That sounds reasonable for a big bundle pack or some packaged with other excess version of the packaging.... BUT ALONE!? Man... Maybe you live in an area that uses the same dollars but they are worth less?
As a heads up, we do not use things like Freeshop much unless it is ACTUALLY WORTH IT. Usually it isn't and FreeShop itself was great while it lasted. PKGj is also nice while it lasts.
When it's gone, we go back to the way we are traditioned and rely more on anyway: Backing up our own games or getting backups from someone who has done just that.
