Gaming [how-to] Redownload Switch E-shop titles

[souler92]

Guess i explain today how you can redownload nintendo switch games:

I see quite alot of people having trouble redownloading already purchased, and then deleted games.

step 1 : go to the nintendo E-shop
step 2 : press the avator button in upper right corner (this takes you to account informatio screen displaying your current balance etc.
step 3 : in the menu on the left there is a selection for : redownload, click it and there you can find all of your purchased games, ready to be downloaded again!


sorry there are no pictures, but i think this isn't too hard

Thanks but I don't feel the need to play Snake Pass or Lego City ever again.

i'd think this too, but apparently it's hard enough for this guide to be made, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

to be honest, i had some trouble finding it when console was on < 3.0 (the menus were different then)

i had to contact nintendo directly to find out... its just weird they make it like this

It's worth noting that this won't work on an outdated firmware version. In case people come here hoping there's a way to download stuff from eShop without updating.

on older firmwares this works almost the same,(you still have to go to the right corner account menu) its only noted different..

anyway you cant "legit" download from eshop on older firmware
