Nintendo has relaunched its digital storefront by the name of My Nintendo Store. It essentially brings all Nintendo products under one roof for the Nintendo audience American, so you can now shop for games, merchandise, and more in one place. For all intents and purposes, the official Nintendo Shop website remains true to its purpose of showcasing. Don’t expect this to mean the storefront is more stocked than before Nintendo files, The store is still missing a lot of popular items.
It is important to note that the Nintendo Store website has been upgraded to be more user-friendly and offer an alternative way to purchase Nintendo-related products. You can also purchase digital copies of Nintendo Switch games Nintendo Switch directly from My Nintendo Store and download them to your console.

Stamps also appear on any Nintendo-licensed merchandise, such as stickers, game manuals, or apparel, it says “Officially Licensed Product of Nintendo, Inc.”
Many of Nintendo’s most popular products are also advertised on the front page of the My Nintendo Store website.

There are also hubs for Nintendo Rewards, a form of Nintendo Rewards that Nintendo players earn by purchasing games and purchases in addition to Nintendo Switch Online. Users who have linked their Nintendo Network ID Wallet (used with Wii U and Nintendo 3DS family systems) to their Nintendo Account Wallet (used with Nintendo Switch family systems) can use the shared balance to purchase content on any of these consoles as long as until the end of March 2023.
