1. No you need to be on the latest version since you need to access the eshop, and no you cannot use it on your pc and try and download it on the switch like this.I have just ordered this bundle and I'm waiting to receive it. I've noticed (after ordering) that the splatoon game will be a digital code, not a cartridge. I have a couple of questions about this -
Is there any way to get the game downloaded without having to update the console like maybe activating it in my account on a PC and downloading it, then transfer?
And if not, how long can I keep the download code without activating it? Is there a time limit?
Also, is it possible to sell the code to someone else before activating it? And will it matter if the buyer's console is the same region as mine?
Sorry for hijacking thread @OP
2. As far as i know, there is no expirarion date for switch codes so you can keep it as long as you want.
3. Yes you can sell the code to someone else, if thats what you want.
Even if the buyers console is another region, i bet you can just make another NID and just switch it to your region so no problems here.
