Nintendo's official store sells Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch consoles, physical and digital games, DLC, Nintendo Switch Online memberships and Nintendo merchandise.
The clearest saving is free shipping on online orders of $50 and over. Think twice before a digital purchase, though, because Nintendo Account payments are final unless Nintendo authorizes a refund.

More about shopping at Nintendo
Return condition
Items must be unopened, sealed and complete, mailed back in original packaging, and you pay return postage unless the item was damaged, defective or wrong.
Refund timing
Credit goes back to your original payment method within two billing cycles of the return.
Digital purchases
Digital games, pre-purchases and subscriptions bought through a Nintendo Account are final unless Nintendo authorizes a refund or the law requires one.
Not returnable
Digital items, and Nintendo products bought from other stores, can't go back under the Nintendo Store policy.
Points
A free Nintendo account lets you shop the online store and earn My Nintendo points on what you buy.
Shopping the Nintendo Store online starts with a free Nintendo account, so sign in before you build a cart.
That way your purchases earn points.
Free shipping at $50 and over applies without a code, so a cart sitting just below that line is the first thing to fix.
Treat digital orders differently from physical ones.
A pre-purchase or a subscription can't be undone once paid, so confirm the platform and edition before you check out.
Physical items can go back within 30 days only if they're still sealed, which means opening a console to test it ends your change-of-mind option.
More ways to save at Nintendo
Earning points costs nothing beyond a free account, and they build up on every store order.
Grouping a game with Nintendo merchandise can push a cart past $50 for free shipping.
Since return postage is yours to pay on change-of-mind returns, deciding before you open the box saves money too.
For digital games and Nintendo Switch Online, the purchase is final, so the only real saving is buying the right thing once.
